The Sharks have placed Thomas Greiss on waivers. I can see Atlanta having interest, but otherwise I don't know of a team that would go after him. Which is a shame, because he is an underrated netminder. It's not official, but it sounds as though at the very least Pekka Rinne will be [...]
The start of the 2010-2011 NHL season is well and truly underway. There have been a few pleasant surprises, as well as few “red alert” moments involving key injuries. The main thing that you need to keep in mind is that the season is still young and there’s still seven months of quality hockey remaining. Similar to last season, I’ll provide you with weekly updates so that you have access to the latest news that’s been happening from the Western Conference front.
Angus was on the Team 1040 on (Canadian) Thanksgiving Monday. He chats Canucks, Jeff Skinner, Derek Stepan, and more! Listen here.
Regarding the investigation into the Devils dressing 15 players, please understand - this is not the NHL. The NHL doesn't care. It's the union who needs to defend their players, and I think Zharkov, Tedenby and Josefson were ripped off one game of NHL salary. This is an NHLPA issue. Completely different from past [...]
It's too early to be making big decisions with your squad, but with the first handful of regular season games behind us, reality has already started chipping away at your draft night brilliance.
Perhaps you've been affected by an early-season injury, or that rookie didn't earn that crucial top-six spot like you hoped, or maybe you were just unfortunate enough to draft Sheldon Souray and your league doesn’t count AHL points. Whatever the reason, you might be considering tinkering with your squad - but if you do, make sure you maintain your subjectivity. That's right, I said your subjectivity.
The contests are starting back up! Stay tuned for an announcement tomorrow. Prize will be an autographed 8x10 photograph of an NHL player (no, it won't be Wade Belak). Goldie: Is this even surprising? Leclaire is out with an injury. Not sure on the extent. Here's the kicker - I'm told Mike Brodeur has [...]
It was an ugly scene last Monday with Jason Pominville being escorted off the ice on a stretcher after being hammered into the boards by Chicago's Niklas Hjalmarsson. With the NHL's discipline czar dishing out a two game suspension, all that's left to figure out is who might benefit from Pominville's absence?
It is not often that a defenseman can record 50 points in his first professional season and still fly under the radar at DobberHockey. However, that is exactly what has happened with New Jersey rookie Matt Taormina. He has been playing on the top power play unit with the likes of Ilya Kovalchuk, Travis Zajac, and Zach Parise. It didn’t take long for Taormina’s name to start popping up all over our forums.
A solid read on Jordan Caron - one of the better fantasy winger prospects to own right now. Relatively good news regarding Mike Green - he won't play this weekend, but it sounds like he just suffered a minor injury to the shoulder. As soon as I saw him after the hit it [...]
The first week of the NHL season is done and near the top of your NHL standings with a 3-0 record... the Toronto Maple Leafs? Should be an interesting year.
