Fantasy hockey is like anything else, if you want to be good at it you need to put in your time.



Making the jump from point only leagues to standard rotisserie is a whole new game of puck. Roto leagues demand a different mindset from poolies when approaching the draft and trade table. There are many cases in which a stud in points-only could easily turn out to be a dud in roto (and vice versa). To your benefit, the Market Buzz series wastes no time in revealing a player’s true rotisserie value and focus on separating the underrated from the overrated.

  Did I not emphatically tell you that owning Peter Forsberg would hurt you more than help you?   Atlanta recalled Spencer Machacek from the AHL. He played just 6:12. In five games this season, he has yet to see 10 minutes in a game. He has 42 points in 49 AHL games, easily his [...]

A goalie’s performance is shaped as much by the audience as by the actual goaltender. Each and every game is scrutinized in relation (or in comparison) to the demands and expectations of the viewer.

  Jonas Hiller is feeling lightheadedness again (can we call it a concussion soon?) and will miss the next three games for Anaheim. Methinks they are in the market for a goalie...   I'm back baby! I really got my ass kicked yesterday thanks to week-old leftover pork that wasn't cooked enough (clearly). Now it's [...]
