Fantasy Prospects Report - buy it here. Goldie Says: My first of two steps to 150 is done. My Top-125 Prospects Rankings is out. Of the new 25 prospects, the name I drop for all of you is Chris Rawlings. I'm trusting my gut and putting him on the map. My Hockey News [...]
Hey gang, sorry for the lack of Cage Match articles the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately duty calls and I was called away to fight some cage matches of my own taking on formidable opponents such as forest fires, Yogi Bear, and fantasy hockey withdrawal. It was arduous (particularly the latter) but I survived and now that I’ve had my first bear encounter I feel comfortable bringing you this week’s Cage Match – Krejci vs. Bergeron. That’s right, it’s a bear fight!
Goldie Says: My latest on NHL.com looks at Luongo's crumbling confidence. Great deal for Reimer and his owners. I take a look at his potential next season as well. One year and $3.25 million for Kostitsyn the elder in Montreal. Another 18-25 goal season filled with inconsistency - take that to the bank! [...]
Rumors out of Vancouver today that Hamhuis has been suffering (to put it lightly) from a ruptured testicle. I was told it was mid-section/rib related last week, and after hearing this I hope it is. I can't even begin to fathom how painful a ruptured testicle would be. Again, just a rumor, but [...]
Thanks to a few well-timed strong finishers, my undermanned team (The Crosby Show) in an extremely competitive head-to-head keeper league managed a second place finish after the playoffs. As you can probably tell from my team name, Sidney Crosby was my star. This league counts standard categories (goals, hits penalty minutes, and so on), and over the past few seasons we have added a few more (faceoff wins and hits).
Over the past few weeks I have been formulating a plan for my team this summer. I’ve decided to share it with you, even though every single one of my competitors reads this site (in fact one of them is even a fellow columnist). Why? I’d like to think it is because I am such a nice guy, but I am also looking for feedback and your opinion as to how I should approach the summer ahead.
Absolutely huge news for Hiller owners and Duck fans - the Swiss star is expected to start skating in July. Solid read on Chris Tanev, Vancouver's poised rookie on defense. Sorry for the light ramblings today. Very late night and early morning doesn't make for a great combination. Some fantastic stuff on [...]
Fantasy Prospects Report - buy it here. Rangers' top prospect Chris Krieder has decided to stay in college for another year. I’m a little nervous about this deal that I did in my keeper league. One week after landing Zach Parise, Mikko Koivu and Eric Tangradi for a package of Tyler Ennis, some [...]
The passion for the game of hockey is passed down through some generations of families. We’ve seen success from the Howe, Dineen, Hextall, Sutter, and of course the Geoffrion lineages. The Geoffrion family is certainly one of the most successful families to play in the NHL, from Howie Morenz to Bernie “Boom Boom” Geoffrion to Dan Geoffrion. Both Howie (7) and Boom Boom (5) have their numbers retired side-by-side in Montreal, and the two Hall of Famers share nine Stanley Cups. While Dan’s career was short-lived, he was still a heck of a hockey player and after his retirement, he moved to Nashville and raised four boys, one of which is Blake Geoffrion.
Fantasy Prospects Report - buy it here. Some-off-the-cuff thoughts - "rambles", if you will - that popped into my head as I bounce around the Internet world/ procrastinate from writing player profiles for the Forecaster: 1. If Patrick Sharp gets traded - and I'm lukewarm to that idea, but it could happen - [...]
Last Monday, I revealed one way in which fantasy managers can get a pulse on some future top-flight prospects via the Hockey Canada Program of Excellence goalie camp. As a result, we all learned about the viable long-term future of guys like Mark Visentin, Tyler Bunz and the small but fiery Alex Dubeau.
