Quick



I want to run my own hockey team. Living the dream, to me, would be just that. The next Mike Gillis. The effort to live vicariously through your fantasy hockey team mellows the burning desire live it out in the real. Adding dimensions to your hockey pool can simulate an office job with a city view, while working for your favourite team. The salary cap satisfies the statistic nerd in all of us and increases the difficulty level of running a team.

  The Flames re-signed Brendan Morrison for one year. He’s rehabbing a torn ACL, and won’t be back until the season is underway. He was pretty decent last season during a few stints with Iginla and Tanguay on the top unit.   The guide is out in just over two weeks... some stuff from previous [...]

A September '09 article of mine explained how NHL teams like to transition potential scoring forwards from the AHL to the NHL. Since the lockout, most teams have developed a three-season program for transitioning proven AHL producers to scoring NHL forwards. It's a fairly simple formula but it's amazingly consistent.

  DobberBaseball was hacked this morning. It is fine now – everything is okay (you may need to refresh, or open/close your browser), although I still need to change some site passwords. Spammers added a couple of redirects which sent the visitor to a spam site, for some reason believing that fantasy baseball enthusiasts would [...]

  So the airline Jet Blue loses the Stanley Cup, and then makes the Cup’s escort go through the regular line with it when he finally gets it back. Nathan Horton, meanwhile, attends the Cup parade in his hometown without the Cup! In Jet Blue’s defense, the Cup guy arrived at the airport later than [...]

Quick

 

Four years ago, the Los Angeles Kings' net minding situation was a mess. They used six different goaltenders in the 2007/08 season: Jason LaBarbera, Jean Sebastien Aubin, Erik Ersberg, Dan Cloutier, Jonathan Bernier, Jonathan Quick and Daniel Taylor. Even though Quick was handed the starting job the following season and posted respectable numbers (21-18-2, 2.46 GAA and .914 SV%), it seemed that Bernier was considered the franchise's goalie of the future.

Enroth

 

Over the past week, very little free agent goalie movement took place. But this was an expected occurrence, as spots get filled quickly and many goalies that had fantasy value last season turn up homeless. Such is the situation currently facing goalies like Ray Emery, Marty Turco and Pascale Leclaire, along with some solid AHL goalies like Tyler Weiman and Mike Brodeur.

  Fantastic hire by the Devils in coach Peter DeBoer. Fits their system perfectly. From what I've seen, similar to Lemaire. The team will be closer to how they were in the last half of last season as opposed to the first half.   It's done. Steven Stamkos has signed for five years, cap hit [...]

  Teddy Purcell has signed a two-year deal with the Lightning worth nearly $2.4 million cap hit. That kind of money, plus his playoff play, will keep him on the second line now.   As expected, the Red Wings have signed Ty Conklin. Attention Howard owners - Conklin is more of a threat to steal [...]
