The San Jose Sharks actually had some people, myself included, convinced they could be the first team in decades to come back from a 3-0 series deficit when they took Dallas to Game 6 and pushed it to overtime.

Ninth time's a charm, or so the saying goes. Well, maybe the saying doesn't go quite like that, but it certainly rings true for 21-year-old Sabres prospect Drew Stafford. At least 20 different NHL teams would welcome Stafford to the their roster, but the Sabres haven't been one of them. So...
It's quiz time. This player's averaging more than a point per game and now sits among the top 20 in league scoring. Any takers? Here's a hint – he started the season with 19 points in 32 games and poolies were frantically e-mailing me for advice on whether or not to dump him.
The NHL trade deadline is February 27 and for many hockey pools its deadline is close, if not, exactly the same time. Those of you in one-year pools may not have as many big decisions to make as keeper-league poolies, but the pressure is still great and the need for swift action is equally strong.
With a ton of deals taking place Tuesday, it is time to analyze the fantasy impact of some of the player movements, starting with the biggest changes (not necessarily for the better, either). Pittsburgh Penguins The Ryan Smyth deal may have been the single biggest deal of the day, but no team...
There's still six weeks of hockey left to play in the regular season, but I've seen enough to name my fantasy dark horse of the year. While Carolina's Ray Whitney has been a pleasant surprise, his production has slipped a little and he is now on the shelf with a sprained ankle.
Martin Gelinas isn't a player I would normally recommend for your fantasy squad. In fact, taking the season as a whole, Gelinas' 37 points are not exactly eye-catching. Why should it be? That's a 45-point pace, which is useless in most pools. The good part is – your competitors probably haven't...
For those of you kicking yourself for not snatching this year's premier dark horse (Colorado's Paul Stastny) in last summer's draft, here are three early candidates for next season. Robert Nilsson, Edmonton Oilers Of the three, Robert Nilsson presents the biggest risk. Tomas Fleischmann,...
The follow-up to his outstanding rookie campaign has been disappointing to say the least, but don't close the book on Henrik Lundqvist just yet. The New York Rangers goaltender is quickly turning his numbers into the lofty standards he set last season. King Henrik has gone 8-1-2 in his past 11...
By now, poolies who are not living under a rock are well aware Jack Johnson has signed a contract with the Los Angeles Kings and will make his NHL debut shortly. When Erik Johnson gets his start in a Blues uniform is still up in the air, but let's take a look a the fantasy impact each of these...
Even the most casual fantasy poolies know that to win an NHL playoff pool, you have to load up on just a few teams. Some may go with two or three teams, some may go with four or five teams, but for the most part, hockey pool players limit the teams they draft from.
