Tatar

While owner Mike Ilitch made his fortune delivering HOT-N-READY® pizzas, the management of the Detroit Red Wings prefers a far slower approach with its incoming talent.

 

Take Tomáš Tatar for example. If the 20-year old Slovak was flying under fantasy radars at all prior to this season, you couldn’t have missed him November 30th if you visited any hockey-related website worth its salt. That’s because the night before, Tatar unleashed a staggering seven-point performance for the Grand Rapids Griffins in a 10-8 win over the Chicago Wolves in AHL action.

A tough decision can be made easier with these charts showing you the best five and worst five schedules for upcoming seven-day periods. Some of you used them last year but for the benefit of new readers here is a refresher. The number next to the team indicates the 'multiplier' to use on a player's point-per-game pace to give you an idea how many points to expect for that week.

  A great SI piece on Ryan Kesler. Interesting to note that his stick flex has had so much to do with his recent goal scoring streak.   Dobber: My article from thn.com today. My take on The Duck, The Ranger and The Blue have been added to the Guardian Project. The Project will be [...]

  My impression of the All-Star Weekend so far: well done. I mean, let's face it, this is all about the stars of the league interacting with fans and having a little fun. Friday's draft was quite entertaining, once TSN let them actually draft and stop interrupting with boring interviews after the first couple of [...]

  Vancouver has recalled Cody Hodgson. Looks like it's his turn now and Shirokov's is over. This will be Hodgson's first career NHL game. I don't expect this recall to last, as the trend in Vancouver has been - cups of coffee only.   The players are starting to get called back up from the [...]

For six elite goaltenders, the All-Star Weekend was a chance for them to showcase their skills to the entire hockey world. For the other 54 NHL goalies, it was a chance to relax for a long weekend, push the proverbial reset button and get refocused in order to play their best hockey of the season down the stretch.

  Update on Jeffrey - he'll be seeing more action than intiially thought. Mark Letestu apparently injured his knee in practice this morning. Suddenly, Jeffrey is the second-line center playing with Kunitz. A definite must-see.   Dustin Jeffrey has been recalled by the Pens.   Because the Blues have the next two days off, Andy [...]

  Frozen Pool Update: The fantasy manager feature will be back online soon. When we moved servers it didn't transfer over properly, but the problem is being fixed.   Kevin Allen reports that Mike Smith has been placed on waivers by the Lightning. He'll clear, and it's a good thing. With Cedrick Desjardins out, the [...]
