Comeback Candidates
Everyone who has played hockey, no matter the level, is familiar with those days when absolutely nothing goes your way offensively. Your shot from the slot strikes iron, or the teammate you gave a breakaway pass to falls victim to the dreaded rolling puck and doesn’t even get a shot off. These things happen, and [...]

For those of you not familiar with the Turkey Dump, you will probably be the first people in the world to learn what it means on a fantasy hockey website. The Turkey Dump is the theory that summer relationships that try to continue long distance into the school year will be over by Thanksgiving. It [...]

The first round of the NHL playoffs have finally drawn to a close, but what an incredible two weeks of action it was. Man, do I love playoff hockey.

Tuesday, March 1, 2011
In what was clearly the biggest move of the day, the Los Angeles Kings acquired Dustin Penner from the Edmonton Oilers.

Monday, November 22, 2010
There has to be a point where the New York Islanders pick up a win. Last night seemed like the perfect time to break out of their funk, facing an Atlanta Thrashers team that has picked up only 21 points in as many games. However, the Thrashers showed the Isles just how much better they [...]

Tuesday, June 1, 2010
Offensive Corps: Dustin Penner led the Oilers in goals, assists, points, powerplay goals and shots. To be honest he represented the lone offensive threat once Ales Hemsky went down with injuries. His 63 points marked a career-high in his fourth full NHL season. At this point, expect Penner to continue to carry the offense and [...]

Saturday, November 28, 2009
As I mentioned yesterday, there were rumours circulating that Oilers star Ales Hemsky would require surgery to fix a shoulder problem. Well, these rumours were true and Hensky will miss the rest of the season. A hit from behind by Michal Handzus aggrevated a nagging shoulder injury, and Hemsky said he could no longer play [...]

Sunday, October 4, 2009
Just some early season fantasy notes from the game last night. Forwards Ales Hemsky: Hemmer looked disinterested and was always the first of the Oilers first liners off the ice when they changed on the fly. He also seemed happy to settle for the shot from the outside rather than driving the net, which is [...]
