Dobber here. Since we moved the grid on Goalie Post to the free section the membership has dropped by 50%. Suddenly, the move - and the purchase - isn't looking so bright. But I am absolutely certain that if those in fantasy leagues with daily transactions understood just what they were getting in their [...]

Ales Hemsky skated with the team for the first time this morning. He basically said today that the shoulder pain never went away until this period of time, where he's really been able to rest it. He feels great and could return as soon as Thursday in Los Angeles, but if not it'll [...]

Weird situation with Pacioretty - we are told he is fine, then out long term, then out for three games, and then he ends up playing last night. He is battling a wrist issue right now but it didn't stop him from scoring two goals (how many of you had him on the bench [...]

Another chance for Ryan Carter. The Panthers waived him, the Devils claimed him. He has until Zajac gets back in a month or so to prove that he belongs. We have yet to see anything from this guy. The Jackets have sent David Savard to the minors. Surprise! Max Pacioretty is a [...]
