ESPN Put The Fantasy In hockey

Posted by admin on 26th, 2008

ESPN revealed their much awaited Fantasy League rankings recently and surprise surprise, they’re pretty much based in “fantasy land”. Wait, did I say much awaited? My apologies, i meant “much overrated”

Martin Brodeur gets #1 spot OVERALL, just ahead of Alex Ovechkin at #2 and Sidney Crosby at #3. In the top 15 players, ESPN in fact list 7 goalies. Do ESPN know something about the fantasy value of goalies that the rest of us don’t?

Interested in knowing just who makes up that list of 7?

Rank – Name
1 – Martin Brodeur
4 – Jean-Sebastian Giguere
7 – Jose Theodore
10 – Evgeni Nabokov
14 – Carey Price
15 – Ilya Bryzgalov

According to the great minds at ESPN, Chris Osgood (22 overall), Marty Turco (58 overall), Henrik Lundqvist (31 overall), even Marc-Andre Fleury (28 overall) don’t get a shoe-in when compared to the great Bryzgalov *insert chuckle here*. In fact Marty Turco is ranked 2 spots lower than Boston’s on again-off again Manny Fernandez. Vinnie Lecavalier, a player whom most would put in the top 10 in the league, is down at #24.

Hey, they do call it “fantasy” for a reason, right?

Who are the worse players in the league, according to ESPN?

Well, not including prospects or rookies (who let’s be honest, are impossible to rank anyway), Martin Gerber (Ottawa Senators) falls in at #370. Just ahead of him are two more netminders, Mike Smith (Tampa Bay Lightning) and Alex Auld (Ottawa Senators). Do ESPN predict Ottawa will bottom out this season?

I’m almost inclined to think ESPN stands for Exceedingly Stupid Prediction Noobs!

I doubt it matters all that much. In the coming weeks when the fantasy leagues open to the public, I imagine the rush of people heading to yahoo to join leagues will quickly make us forget ESPN actually have a fantasy league system!

Game 6 Preview – Red Wings @ Penguins

Posted by admin on 5th, 2008

NHL – Detroit Red Wings/Pittsburgh Penguins Box Score Wednesday June 4, 2008 – Yahoo! Sports

Just 5 minutes until puck drop in game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.  The Detroit Red Wings are looking for the win that will give them the Cup.  The Penguins trying to force a series deciding game 7.

Keys to the game:

  • M.A. Fleury repeating his stellar performance that helped win game 6.  If he can, the Penguins can make a game of this.
  • Pittsburgh need to shut down the Red Wings top line. If Zetterberg and Datsyuk are free to skate on open ice they will do damage. The Penguins need to shut that line down.
  • Evgeni Malkin.  He was quiet in most games of this series, but got the assist on Sykoras game winner in game 6.  If Malkin can get on a roll, he could be the difference maker.

Game on!

Penguins out-flying the Flyers

Posted by admin on 12th, 2008

“It’s frustrating”

That quote from Mike Richards really sums up how the entire Philadelphia Flyers team are feeling right now.  After dropping game 2 against the cross state rivals, Pittsburgh Penguins, the Flyers now go in to game 3 under pressure not just to perform, but to come up with a victory.

“We’ve played in a Game 7 where if you lose, you go home,” said goalie Martin Biron, who made 34 saves. “Game 3 isn’t like that, but it’s as close as it’s going to get. I think we played pretty good, but we can play better. … It’s all about desperation and urgency.”

Game 3 between the 2 teams will be on Tue, May 13 – 7:30 pm EDT. (TV: VS., CBC)
