Sometimes I wonder if it’s even a real word and other times it seems like a tacky term only used for the sake of being creative. But “Stick-to-itiveness” is actually a pretty important aspect of managing fantasy goalies. It also happens to broach many levels of the goaltending position, and when that happens, I have to take the time to explain what it can teach a fantasy manager.

  What a terrible setback for a player who had such a small window of opportunity to flourish and wasn't doing too badly - The Fourth Period reports that Scott Parse will undergo groin surgery and is out for 3-4 months.   Carolina has claimed Troy Bodie off of waivers. This is added competition for [...]

Fantasy Indicators of Success (2010): Wingers

Continuing along with the third part of the series, this week we’ll take a closer look at the Western Conference wingers. The fantasy value of a winger can easily be identified by interpreting the same two stats used to identify the value of blue-liners, which is PP ice-time and SOG. The reasoning behind it is very simple. PP ice-time usually separates players who are offensive-minded from those that are defensive-oriented. The more PP time they receive usually equates to more offensive opportunities they’ll have to score with the advantage. On a similar note, SOG usually maintains a similar line of thought. The more a winger shoots, the higher the chance it goes into the net or creating offensive chances. The opposite also holds true, the less a winger shoots, the lower the chance that the puck goes into the net and the lower the offensive opportunities. Now that we’ve established clear indicators on determining the fantasy value of wingers, let’s take a closer look at most of the wingers from the Western Conference.

  Interesting Calgary - Carolina deal, which I will analyze within the hour...   This is painful to say, it really is, but Todd Bertuzzi doesn't want to slow down. This is why I hate writing off guys, because some of them eventually bounce back even when you are 100 percent certain that he's done [...]

  Goldie: Was asked about Halak's struggles, so here's my full-blown answer. Brodeur re-aggravated his elbow tonight. Rask pitched a 41-save shutout and Gustavsson was also brilliant. I have been stressing to owners to be patient with Rinne and he notched a shutout tonight.   How does the White trade affect McBain/Corvo? I am not sure, at this point. White is [...]
