So far, so good for Colorado fans. With Paul Stastny and T.J. Hensick leading the NHL in pre-season points prior to Sunday's games and with newcomer Jaroslav Hlinka leading in assists, the Avalanche offense looks like a force to be reckoned with. The three of them have been playing on a line... [read full story]

Fantasy Pool Look: Sharks lacked bite

thehockeynews.com     May 19, 2008          

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. When taking a look at how some of the players performed for San Jose, it is clear...

Fantasy Pool Look: Playoff eye-openers

thehockeynews.com     May 19, 2008          

As usual, there are several performances in the post-season that – for better or worse – have influenced or changed the opinions of fantasy owners. Here are the top observations of the 2008 NHL playoffs: Jaromir Jagr is having the playoff of his life. His performance thus far (15 points in nine...

The regular season is complete and fans are starting their playoff drafts. Here are some more players who are at the bottom of everybody’s list (if they even appear at all) you should take a flyer on in the later rounds: Jan Hlavac, Nashville – Of Hlavac’s 35 points, 13 have come in the 18 games...

Fantasy Pool Look: Spotlight starting to shine on Clowe

thehockeynews.com     May 19, 2008          

Ryane Clowe was missed in a lot of office pools this time around because he is young, virtually unknown and missed most of the season with a knee injury. If San Jose gets by Calgary in the first round, the odds are pretty slim Clowe will sneak through in your summer draft, though. Although...

A couple events have impacted the Edmonton roster over the past six weeks and they have opened up some opportunities for the youngsters.

Fantasy Pool Look: The Big Red Machine

thehockeynews.com     May 19, 2008          

For years, Detroit has been a powerhouse both in the NHL and in fantasy circles. And if it’s not Larry Murphy by Lidstrom’s side, it’s Mathieu Schneider. As far as Chris Osgood and Dominik Hasek are concerned, therein lies the one problem from a fantasy standpoint – the games are being split....

Fantasy Pool Look: Don't write off Hemsky yet

thehockeynews.com     May 19, 2008          

You may not have noticed this, but that ‘disappointing’ fantasy player has quietly returned to form. After Ales Hemsky tallied 77 points in his third full season, many poolies felt that the next step was 90 points and beyond. However, if the 23-year-old is in his fourth NHL season - coming off a...

Fantasy Pool Look: Colorado's sticks are silent

thehockeynews.com     May 19, 2008          

At first, it didn’t seem so bad. Joe Sakic was day-to-day with a groin injury, but the Avs were still winning games and the stars were scoring goals. To make things worse for poolies, the team lost Ryan Smyth when he fractured his ankle in a Dec. 31 game against Phoenix. Hmmm. Sakic hurts his...

Fantasy Pool Look: Is big Bert back?

thehockeynews.com     May 19, 2008          

It has been one of the biggest questions asked of me over the past year, amazingly consistent in both frequency and wording. Can (or sometimes “will”) Todd Bertuzzi bounce back? While anything is possible, my typical response is usually – he may bounce back to close to a point-per-game again, but...

Fantasy Pool Look: Potpourri

thehockeynews.com     May 19, 2008          

When a topic doesn’t come to me quickly enough, there is nothing I love more than to ramble on about a lot of different things in the fantasy hockey world. So here goes… The injury to Michael Nylander (rotator cuff, out for the season) has the Washington Capitals trying Boyd Gordon as the pivot...
