State of the Toronto Maple Leafs

Brian Burke - the best man for the job in Toronto - The worst franchise that I have ever seen was the 2008-09 version of the Toronto Maple Leafs. They had little in the way of draft picks, their farm system was disgusting, and their pro team was filled with untradeable contracts. There wasn’t one franchise in the NHL that I would swap for the Leafs. They were horrible in every sense of the word.

Why Hockey Pool Geek Kicks Ass

Probably the most in-depth fantasy team analysis tool available. Nobody knows better than I do the amount of different league formats that are out there. And the cookie-cutter rankings systems that are available are great as a "guide", but they don't do the job needed. With thousands of different possible combinations - not just statistical, but positional...or even weighted stats - it's impossible.

Well with HPG - problem solved.

Sidney Crosby spoke in a press conference Wednesday for the first time since his 'double-concussion' back in early January. So what was said? Well, nothing...and everything. There is no single player in the NHL who has more of a ripple effect on fantasy hockey than Sid the Kid. So let's take a look at the best-case scenario, the worst-case scenario, as well as analyze what was said by Crosby and his doctors.
