On The Radar

The 2nd installment of On The Radar.

Well In case you didn't know the Capitals are the most fun team to watch and the best in the league. They have raped 14 teams/games in a row. And give me wood numerous times nightly. Especially there comeback from 4-1 to win 5-4 in OT. Brooks Orpik, Semin is not a baby if he can run your show that well... Just saying

Last week I told you to check out Zubrus, Brouwer, and Filppula. Lets see what they did last week.

Zubrus: 3GP, 2G, 0A, -1 . Thats pretty damn good for a quick pick up
Brouwer: 3GP 0G, 1A, +1 . Not bad, But taken off the Kane-Toews line so beware...
Filppula:3 GP, 1G, 2A, -3. Great stats except for the -3.... Now that Franzen is back lets hope something picks up even more.

This week I am gunna pick a couple more guys to take a peek at if they are available or if you wanna try and hit a cheap trade and ditch some dying player.

Tyler Bozak: If you have some room at Centre pick up this guy. 15 games, 11 points(3G,8A) on the top line and leafs powerplay. He is a plus 2 and is developing so much faster than expected. This is a relief considering the leafs draft blunders etc. This being an undrafted pick up. ( Yea cheung, congrats on a good little pick up here..) ( 2% owned in yahoo leagues)

Manny Legace: On the 2nd last place team in the East, and now with Ward injured look for Legace & Justin Peters to take all the goal post time and possibly play a couple great games. As of late the canes have turned around their dismal start to the season but are already out of the picture and are looking to next year. However, if you need starts or a lucky game look to pick up this guy. He could impress like he had before for Detroit and a bit of St.Louis... ( 3% owned in yahoo leagues)

Mark Giordano: Now that Phaneuf is gone and although when he was here this guy was logging big minutes. Look for him to snag more points and time than he already was. In 59 games he has gotten 25 points and remained a plus 4 to be the flames leading blueliner over j-bouw and regeher. He is doing great in the new year and is catching my eye as i try and ditch 2 players like mad. If you aren't sold check this gino out

Lastly, one more d-man

Ryan Whitney: Since niedermayer is terrible this year and pronger is gone. Whitney is stepping out like he should and like he did in pittsburgh. In the past 3 games he has 5 points ( 1G, 4A). Although he only has 27 points and is a -5 he gets some decent PIMS and is showing that his 59 point season in 06-07 isnt a fluke. Look at him. ( 38% owned in yahoo leagues)

For now thats all i got. Lets hope this olympic break is a good one for Canada and every other athlete/ player and that every injured hockey player recovers cause fuck its killing me now... And in case you all didnt know Ryan Getzlaf has joined the fallen after a big ankle wipeout.... Great...

Fuck Injuries
