After a fun-filled five weeks of fantasy hockey, it’s time for another monthly roundup. This season’s trends are now finding their tracks and we’re starting to see just who is going to do what this year. Despite that, it’s good to know who the little cogs are that will make your clock tick, so with all apologies for lateness due, and without further adieu, here are ten players that caught... 

The NHL is bursting with very young, very talented players. Most of the leading scorers are somewhere around 25 years of age or less. Five or six years from now, these players will be the veterans that everyone turns to for wisdom and insight on the game. When that happens, there will be a new crop of adept greenhorns trying to establish themselves as the league’s new stars. They will be the first... 

Right now, there’s an entire all-star team’s worth of players injured in the NHL. We could construct arguably the best first line in hockey with Russian wonders Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, and Ilya Kovalchuk all out with injuries. In case they can’t get it done, no worries, there is a dynamic second line waiting to come out in Johan Franzen, Marc Savard, and Marian Hossa. This is when... 

This weekend, New Jersey Devils bigwig Lou Lamoriello will be graced with one of the deepest honors a man of his profession can receive: induction to the Hockey Hall of Fame in the Builders category.

He was coach of the Providence College ice hockey team... 

So, it’s November. It can be said that the NHL season is now completely and officially “in the swing of things”.

Injuries have ravaged team after team in the first month of play, and I’m sure they’re ravaging some fantasy teams as well. It’s... 

The New Jersey Devils host the Buffalo Sabres tonight in a game that carries a little more urgency than one might think. Yes, the Devils are on a three game winning streak. Yes, they have been lighting the lamp, outscoring their opponents 10-3 in that span, and yes, Zach Parise has finally caught fire, with 8 points in his last 4 games. Despite all this, the Devils have quite the task at hand this... 

Two men glare at each other. One says in a dangerously inviting tone, “You wanna go?” The other smirks to himself, hurls off his gloves and urgently watches his counterpart do the same. And then, it’s on. Ahh, the hockey fight. It’s the result of the seemingly perfect combination of grace and aggression. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The ideal balance of speed, finesse and fisticuffs...
