Tony Granato has opened things up, of officiating to the table didn’t help. Do you think Frasier cries at night that he has to wear and the Avs are averaging half a goal per a helmet now, concealing his oh-so-perfect hair? We think so. Good thing Huet and a power play that is suddenly more potent than an Alaskan teenager were there to bail us out. Most Hawk fans’ dream scenario has been to have the two goalies play well for a long stretch, making them more attractive in the trade market. And more than a few fans have hoped that it would be Huet who moves along, lessening our cap burden next season. This will not happen, nor should it. It will look shoddy and amateurish to punt a prime free agent signing mere months after bringing him in, and don’t think other play- ers around the league wouldn’t notice. Who would want to sign here if you can’t guarantee them security? Even if they got past that, they would insist on no-trade clauses that hamper a team years down the line.

FIRST STAR – KEVIN FIALA, LW, MINNESOTA WILD Fiala had four multi-point games to lead the NHL in goals (4; tied) and points (4-5—9), pacing the Wild (32-26-7, 71 points) to a 3-1-0 record and within one point of a playoff spot. He had 1-1—2, including the winning goal, Feb. 25 in a 5-4 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. He then posted 1-2—3 in a 7-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Feb. 27 followed by another 1- 1—2 outing versus Columbus, in a 5-0 triumph Feb. 28. He closed the week with 1-1—2 in a 4-3 loss to the Washington Capitals on March 1 to become the third player in club history with multiple points in four straight games, joining Marian Gaborik (2006-07 & 2007-08) and Brian Rolston (2005-06) who had equal runs.

  • Dobber's 2010-11 Fantasy Guide
    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.
