Patrick Lalime

Remember when Patrick Lalime was the scorching hot starter for the Ottawa Senators and was averaging more than 30 wins for four consecutive seasons? That sure seems like ancient times to all you fantasy hockey freaks, but for him it’s a vivid memory, as if it were only yesterday. The same feeling is shared with Chicago Blackhawks head coach Dennis Savard, who continues to roll with his philosophy of playing the hot goaltender and has put his trust in Lalime for the time being. Fortunately, it’s paying off when the organization needs it most.

The Kid is Injured. So Now What?

Sidney Crosby

Sidney Crosby, originally diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain but will undergo an MRI Monday to find out for sure, could be on the shelf for as long as eight weeks. High-ankle sprains are the worst kind, keeping the likes of Martin Havlat (19 games last season), Marc-Andre Fleury (19 games and counting), Maxim Talbot (18 games) for extended periods of time. If he does indeed have a high-ankle sprain, reports of “out for four weeks” is a pipe dream. Crosby is tough and his legs are incredibly strong, so the best-case scenario is six weeks and it could be closer to eight. If the MRI finds a fracture, it may even be 10 weeks.

So what are the repercussions in the fantasy world?

Hockey Knight in London

By Dobber Sports|2008-01-19T14:04:27-05:00January 19th, 2008|z-Archives (other articles)|

No Corey Perry, Rob Schremp, Sergei Kostitsyn, Patrick Kane or Sam Gagner. No problem. Predicted to be bottom-feeders heading into 2007-08, three written off prospects have taken the reigns of the CHL's most successful squad- and they haven't missed a beat.

Recycle for a Greener NHL

One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure. It’s no different in fantasy hockey. Some people look at a player and don’t see any value. Others realize that it isn’t only talent that players need, but often they need an opportunity or even a change of scenery to produce. All players who make it to the NHL are talented, but to succeed in the best league in the world, many players need to be in the right situation.
