Hockey Rambling

The IIHF has finally cleared Kirill Kabanov to play for Moncton this season.   The Canucks are closely monitoring Daniel Sedin, who sat out practice with what the team is calling a deep bone bruise on one of his heels. There currently is too much swelling to conduct an MRI. Worst case is a break [...]

Dobber's article today on Puck Daddy   Ryan Callahan somehow snuck back in to the Rangers lineup! Just noticed him out there on the ice. I guess he didn't want to miss a game with whatever the injury was.   Anton Stralman is IN tonight against the Sharks (as is Derek Dorsett).   Tampa Bay [...]

Bieksa is IN tonight.   Kevin Bieksa is probably going to miss the Canuck game tonight due to the birth of his second child. If he does miss the game, look for Aaron Rome (who was very impressive during the pre-season) to draw in. This bumps Edler or Ehrhoff up to the top PP unit. [...]

Statement from Office Pools: Our friends over at Office Pools have asked me to publish their statement for them. You can read it here.   The Habs have signed M.A. Bergeron to a one-year contract. High risk/high reward here, but definitely worth a flyer. He will play in the AHL for now as he gets [...]

Those of you who use officepools - they are reverting to their old site. Their new system is not working - too much stuttering and stopping and errors and glitches. They will be moving to their old format shortly.   Tough break for the Sharks - Joe Pavelski is out for two weeks with a [...]

Buy the fantasy guide here!   Per Puck-rakers, Anton Stralman WON'T play tomorrow for the Blue Jackets.   Sunday evening... some news coming in now.   Erik Cole is out 4-6 weeks with a lower leg stress fracture. Talk about bad luck, Cole seems to be cursed. This means more offensive ice time for Ruutu, [...]

The Fantasy Guide is updated as of today. Buy it here. Where else can you get adjusted projections surrounding the injury to Andrei Markov?   Angus here, spelling off Dobber for the weekend. I'll have lots of stuff up here later on tonight/tomorrow morning. Some fantastic games going on right now (been channel flipping between [...]

Fantasy Guide - buy here - is updated through last night.   Angus here. Dallas has just extended Loui Eriksson for six years. The cap hit is a shade over $4.2 per season. Very fair contract for both sides. Eriksson is a terrific two-way forward who can play in all situations. Should be a consistent [...]

Fantasy Guide and Draft List are updated as of NOW. Buy it HERE.   Maybe because he heard that I just completed my update on my Guide, but Phoenix GM Don Maloney has assigned Kevin Porter to the AHL. Just to screw with us poolies I'm sure. Since he was the last cut, and Paul [...]

The Fantasy Guide and Draft List (BUY HERE) are updated up to yesterday. Next update will be tomorrow.   Jiri Tlusty and Tyler Bozak were cut today. Also cut - Nikolai Kulemin and Carl Gunnarsson. Tlusty should be ashamed of himself - the Jiri who played in February and March should have been the Jiri [...]
