Canada wins the gold medal for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics over the USA in sudden overtime on a quick Sidney Crosby goal vs. Team USA. After Parise tied it up late in the 3rd with just under 25 seconds left to go in the game, Crosby finishes it off on a quick little play on a nice pass off the wall from Iginla and just put it on net as… » click to continue »

Consider Taking on Jaroslav Halak or Josh Harding
No matter what kind of fantasy hockey league you are in, there are always people on the lookout for goaltenders. If you fall into this category, take note. Over the past several months, we have heard rumors surrounding goaltenders Jaroslav Halak and Josh Harding.
The Halak rumors are far more intense at this point in time, so fantasy managers, especially in keeper leagues may want to consider making a play for Jaro Halak. Halak has been playing 2nd fiddle to Carey Price in Montreal for the past couple years, however, Price’s inconsistencies has allowed Halak to showcase his talents and prove he could be a number 1 goaltender candidate somewhere in the NHL. Now is the perfect time for fantasy managers (especially in keeper leagues) to make a play for him. Chances are not too many fantasy managers are » click to continue »
Take a Chance on Rob Schremp
Fantasy managers savvy to the up and coming talent in the NHL have certainly heard the name Rob Shremp being thrown around over the past several seasons. Perhaps some have seen the video of his crafty “stickmanship” during a Skills Competition in Wilkes-Barre. There’s little doubt in anyone’s mind that he is a crafty player with the potential to put up big numbers, however, his game has » click to continue »
Add Backup Goaltenders to Olympic Starters
With the 2010 Winter Olympics fast approaching, it’s time to consider how the games will impact our fantasy rosters. While it certainly won’t have much of an impact if a forward or defenseman misses a game or two, fantasy managers who own an Olympic goaltender should consider adding their backup for the next month of play. It’s not uncommon to see NHL coaches give their Olympic tenders some time off in the weeks leading up to the games. With that being said, it may be worth adding his backup as an insurance policy in case you’re a manager in a league that requires a certain number of appearances per week to qualify the goaltending categories.
Ryan Miller – Buffalo Sabres
With Ryan Miller a strong candidate to get the majority of the workload in Canada for Team USA, we may see backup Patrick Lalime a little more over the next several weeks. He had a shaky start to the season for Buffalo but has » click to continue »
Stash Jason Williams on IR in Deeper Fantasy Hockey Leagues
Red Wings right winger Jason Williams is probably available in your moderate to deep fantasy league. Do yourself a favor: snatch him up and stash him on IR. He’s at an ultra-thin right wing position and there’s a good chance he’ll jump right into the 2nd line power play unit for Detroit.
Don’t expect Dan Cleary to be floating around on the waiver wire (if he is, certainly snatch him up ahead of Williams). Fantasy hockey managers have become fairly savvy to the production possibilities from the later bloomer, but » click to continue »
