Dobber

 

Now that the All-Star game is behind us, we are about to begin our stretch run.  January was an interesting month in the Dobber Experts pool.  While The Comish is still out front by 16.5 points, at one point the lead had shrunk to only five points.  Angus has reduced his projected games played at centre from plus-23 to only plus-6. In doing so, he has allowed Notch to move up and compete for second place. The two have been swapping positions on almost a daily basis.

The playoff race is heating up and the trade deadline is just two weeks away. For us fantasy freaks, it’s an exciting time where every morning is like your birthday. But for goaltenders, it’s a much more ominous feeling, as the intensity level of games starts to rise and there’s no longer any room for error. There’s no time for mental mistakes. Every play is that much more important and it’s all put on the line for a mere two points in the standings. On top of it all, many are constantly a part of trade rumors.
So which ten goalies are facing the most pressure as March approaches? Which goalies are the most important to their team’s success? You can make a case for all 30 starting goalies, as every team has a legitimate chance to make it to the playoffs.

The Avs will welcome back leading scorer Paul Stastny on Tuesday after the 22-year-old missed the last 10 contests recovering from an appendectomy. The mere fact that he still leads the team in scoring by a wide margin despite missing 20 percent of the season so far exemplifies his importance. Colorado will also welcome back Ryan Smyth to practice Monday.

During the absence of these two stars, as well as captain Joe Sakic, the Avs have discovered some interesting things about themselves.

Ales Hemsky

 

You may not have noticed this, but that ‘disappointing’ fantasy player has quietly returned to form.

After Ales Hemsky tallied 77 points in his third full season, many poolies felt that the next step was 90 points and beyond. So when the Pardubice, Czech Republic native followed it up with just 53 points last year, everybody and their mother jumped off the bandwagon.
