Hockey Rambling

The Habs have recalled Marc-Andre Bergeron, who had six points in three games in his AHL stint. I can see Bergeron flourishing until Markov returns - and he is a very big points producer if the coach can overlook his defensive liabilities.   Seven games into the season and Eric Staal has but two points. [...]

Angus here - last tidbit of the night: TB top line is Lecavalier centering Tanguay and St. Louis. I figured the Bolts would try this eventually - they need Vinny going more than they need Stamkos going, and Marty drives that team.   Tired of streaky players and want consistency for your fantasy squad? Be [...]

Martin Havlat is OUT tonight with a groin injury. I'll be using that one a few more times this season...   PM Bouchard officially has a concussion. I don't see him returning for a while. The Wild may be forced to make a move for a forward pretty soon (or they could put a claim [...]

Dobber's article for Puck Daddy is up, check it out here! Want your keeper league team featured on DobberNation? Read on to find out more!   Behind the Net has a page that counts for penalties drawn. I was curious and glad to see that it is being kept track of somewhere! Check it out [...]

Bruised shoulder for Liles - out for two weeks.   Regarding Bozak - I think because the Leafs play just once in the next 10 days, that he will be sent down, but called back up - and then sent down again. He needs game action.   Lindy Ruff is now stating that Vanek may [...]

J.P. from Japer's Rink tells me that Ovechkin and Laich have swapped lines in practice. So you should see Ovy with Morrison and Knuble next game. He also tells me, I'll give you the direct quote because I wouldn't do it justice otherwise - "Flash is probably two weeks away - not cleared for contact [...]

Good point mentioned below (although Jere Lehtinen is back in the lineup). Jamie Benn has been everything I pegged him to be this year. A lot readers wrote in (back in August) questioning my call of him making the team and getting 44 points, but he's making me look good. When you make a prediction [...]

Angus here - breaking news (not sure if any other sites have picked this up yet) - Daniel Sedin is out four to six weeks with a broken foot. Huge blow to the Canucks. Will be interesting to see how Henrik fairs without his brother. Expect one of Grabner or Shirokov to be called up [...]

The Canucks have recalled scrappy winger Guilliame Desbiens from the Moose. He has been the best Moose forward so far this season, and the team wants to build up Shirokov's confidence before recalling him. I was at practice today - expect the Canuck lines to be: Sedin centering Burrows and Bernier, Kesler centering Raymond and [...]
