Kaberle returns, hopes Janssen doesn't shoot the messenger
2007-03-20 13:18:00
The rumors out of Toronto are that Tomas Kaberle will return to the ice tonight, ironically against the team that knocked him out of the lineup earlier this month.Kaberle is the offensive catalyst for the Toronto Maple Leafs and arguably there best defenseman to boot. If you have been sitting the Leaf players on your roster tonight might be a good time to put them back in your starting lineup... ummm Maybe Not.Martin Brodeur was pulled from his last start after allowing 4 goals on 12 shots. If history has any bearing Marty will be on fire tonight and a shutout is a distinct possibility.On the PIM side, all reports out of the Leaf dressing room say that no Leaf player will be looking for revenge on Cam Janssen, not even Darcy Tucker. I'm not sure how much of that medicine you are willing to swallow but I tend to believe it. More because the Leaf's don't truly have a player capable of taking Janssen to task than anything else.Both Darcy Tucker and Wade Belak have dropped the gloves...

NHL Weekly Wrapup - Who's Hot and Who's Not
2007-03-19 13:47:00
Centers: Patrick O'Sullivan is currently on a 5 game point streak (1 goal, 6 assists) for the Los Angeles Kings. The rookie center scored his first goal since January 27th on Sunday, the game winner no less, to go along with 2 assists on the night. If you are looking for a flavour of the week you might do well to snag O'Sullivan while he is hot.Joe Thornton: 4 goals, 6 assists, 1 GWGJoe Sakic: 3 goals, 6 assistsSidney Crosby: 4 goals, 4 assistsMike Modano: 4 goals, 2 assists, 1 GWGPatrick O'Sullivan: 1 goal, 5 assists, 1 GWGWho's Not: Brought over from the Washington Capitals to provide some offensive talent to replace some of the injury riddled Buffalo Sabres leading scorers Dainus Zubrus has been a dissapointment. In the 9 games since the trade Zubrus has managed only 2 points, if you picked him up after the trade deadline hoping to cash in on the high scoring Sabres lineup, stop, drop and pick up someone who is hot (i.e. Patrick O'Sullivan).Wingers: Milan Michalek has been o...

I'm heading off to Vegas
2007-03-13 14:11:00
If you've looked at my record for predicting the winners of NHL games (currently 52%) you should realize that I am not heading to Vega s to do some gambling.Actually I am heading there to take part in the Fantasy Sports Trade Conference (yes such a thing does exist). I managed to convince my bosses that this would be a good investment of my time and their money.Why am I telling you? Well, I'll be a little busy while I'm there so I won't have a lot of time to post to this blog. I will try to keep up the starting goaltenders posts since I need to do most of that research for my own fantasy teams anyways.I'll be back from Vegas on Saturday, hopefully nothing earth shaking occurs prior to my return in the NHL.
