Crashing the Net – Week 5
With the first month of the NHL season officially in the books, fantasy owners are starting to see trends among their players and free agents. Fantasy owners also have a better understanding of “Who is for real” and “Who is just pretending”. Last week, we reviewed players on Crashing the Net like Ryan Callahan, Jeff [...]
Continue reading...Fantasy Season in Review: Columbus Blue Jackets
Wednesday, June 2, 2010
Offensive Corps: Not too much changed this year opposed to last as Rick Nash led the team in scoring for a third straight year. The captain seemed a step off as he battled both injuries and inconsistency, finishing the season with 67 points– his lowest totals since the 2006-2007 season. His frequent linemates Kristian Huselius [...]

Sunday, February 7, 2010
After the Columbus Blue Jackets fired head coach Ken Hitchcock, most pundits expected the team’s younger players to return to form.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009
Ken Hitchcock’s mastery is at work again with his top line in Columbus now set to kick off the season with Rick Nash, Derick Brassard, and Kristian Huselius. Brassard was hindered by season ending shoulder surgery after putting up 25 points in 31 games. Without a clear cut number one center in Columbus, Hitch is [...]

Friday, September 11, 2009
Don’t get me wrong Yahoo is probably the best free place to host your fantasy league. In the past they weren’t offering their fantasy hockey participants the same features as the other fantasy sports, such as keeper leagues and free live scoring, but hockey now seems to be on par with the others. That being [...]
