Goldie here with a few goalie notes. Our good friend Rosso tweeted that Igor Bobkov is in fact heading to London, ONT to play with the Knights this season, while Pens prospect Alex Pechursky is expected to play in the AHL. That one interests me, as there's really no spot for him with Curry, Thiessen and Modig in the mix. He [...]
To be short and sweet, it’s time for another School of Block fantasy mailbag! So head on over to the forums and drop us your burning and most pertinent fantasy goalie questions.
