Time to throw Hail Mary passes in the DobberHockey Expert League. Actually, last week was the time, but I missed the bidding deadline. I'm in third place (nice comeback - was 11th in November), 4.5 points up on fourth and a whopping 17.5 points behind second. It's all or nothing, so time to drop the [...]

Luca Caputi will be back in the lineup tonight for the Leafs, having recovered from his stomach ailment. Wayne Primeau will be scratched. One thing I overlooked with regards to Carter - Ville Leino. I will be interesting to see if he gets a bump in ice time and takes advantage. Angus here [...]

Ales Kotalik has one goal and one assist as a Flame. Oh, and he still has two years left at $3 million per (with a NTC to boot). For the second straight year (Matt Gilroy in 2009), the Rangers have signed the most sought after defenseman free agent in college hockey. Lee Baldwin [...]

Mike Cammalleri practiced today, and it sounds like he will be good to go at some point next week. The Canucks have re-signed Ryan Kesler to a six-year extension. This move comes out of nowhere, as the last we heard back in February was that talks were being put on hold until the [...]
