Feel free to go nuts in the comments. Good evening, fantasy hockey gamers. For the last couple of weeks we’ve heard clamoring over our current rankings. [...]

Nightly Scrap: 1-0, 2-0, 3-0; 4-1? 3-1?
Friday, November 5, 2010
Notice the picture to the right, Jonathan Quick. He clearly deserves a vote for in today’s three stars for his 1-0 shutout of Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Notice Jaroslav Halak above. He also shut out a strong offensive team, the San Jose Sharks, last night. Notice a trend? Two days ago my [...]

Wednesday, November 3, 2010
Columbus Blue Jackets backup Mathieu Garon won his third game of the season with a 3-0 shutout against his former team, the Montreal Canadiens. Although he has played five less games than starting goalie Steve Mason, he only has one less win than the former Calder Trophy winner. In addition to receiving good goaltending, the [...]

Thursday, July 1, 2010
Today, the Ottawa Senators signed free agent defenseman to a three-year deal with a 5.5 million annual cap hit. At 36-years-old the contract definitively counts under the 35+ rule, meaning even if Gonchar retires or is demoted he will count against the cap. This past season the veteran missed 20 games after missing all but [...]

Monday, June 28, 2010
The Pittsburgh Penguins traded a third-round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers for UFA defenseman Dan Hamhuis. We were bullish on his offensive side finding a new home but thought he would be stuck in a similar situation in Philly to his most recent with the Nashville Predators. With Sergei Gonchar likely to not re-sign with [...]

Tuesday, June 22, 2010
According to TSN’s Darren Dreger, Sergei Gonchar may be looking at the open market. At 36, the veteran defenseman seems unlikely to accept a decrease in salary after posting 50 points in 62 games. Since we live in a cap era a contract for a 36-year-old warrants caution. Over the past seasons he missed 83 [...]

Thursday, April 8, 2010
I knew this day would eventually come, but can’t quite believe it’s finally here. Tonight the Pittsburgh Penguins will play their final ever regular-season game in Mellon Arena, a building that has been their home ever since the team’s inclusion within the 1967 expansion of the NHL and will soon no longer be the oldest [...]

Saturday, March 6, 2010
After being acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday in exchange for Luca Caputi and Martin Skoula, Alexei Ponikarovsky is expected to make his debut today in a Pittsburgh uniform. It could be said that “Poni” was the biggest name traded in the last week, in a Trade deadline that saw just how little [...]

Happy New Year hockey fans! I hope you all had a great holiday, but there’s been no rest on or off the ice, as it’s been an especially entertaining week for us all. The Olympic rosters were announced, the World Juniors got under way in Saskatchewan, and most would say the Winter Classic lived up [...]
