By only allowing a pair of goals in the first two games against Dallas last week, Osgood has helped Detroit to continue their dominance in the 2008 playoffs. Mr. Reliable has yet to lose a game in this current post-season.

Conn Smythe candidates and playoff fantasy hopes

Detroit’s Johan Franzen was considered a frontrunner for the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, but a head injury may change that.
Detroit’s Johan Franzen was considered a frontrunner for the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, but a head injury may change that.

It's the time of year where legends, not to mention your playoff fantasy hopes, are made.

One brilliant spring can be the exclamation point on a sensational Hall of Fame run when discussing the likes of Roy, Yzerman, Lidstrom, Stevens, Sakic, Gretzky, Orr, Lafleur or Mario.

For others such as Ranford, Ward, Vernon, Hextall, Goring and Claude Lemieux, it was an unforgettable spring that helped define a career.

Fantasy Focus: Pittsburgh Penguins

Sidney Crosby did a little early trick-or-treating at the Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota Tuesday night.

The Wild should have shut the lights off and pretended no one was home.

Minnesota plopped four points (one goal, three assists) into Sid The Kid's goodie bag, while sidekick Evgeni Malkin rotted his teeth with a sweet two-goal night of his own.

Quietly, almost imperceptibly, the Montreal Canadiens have kept themselves in the Eastern Conference thick of things.

OK, outside of hockey-mad Quebec not many may have noticed the surging Canadiens.
 
Inside La Belle Province, I'm sure hordes of pundits and fans are enraptured by the Habs' 6-2-2 record.

Bulletin to fantasy GMs everywhere: Emilio Estevez is coaching the Anaheim Ducks this year.

How else to explain their dismal 4-7-2 record this season — mere months after their first Stanley Cup triumph?

Heck, even my verbose colleague Marty Henwood would be at a loss for words.

Fantasy Focus: Bergeron’s loss hurts B’s

By : doherty 199 days 14 hours 24 minutes ago.
Rating:

While there has been much debate about the scary hit on Boston Bruins' forward Patrice Bergeron, very little has been said about the offensive void his absence has created in Beantown. The shifty centerman's stats are not that remarkable (three goals and four assists), but linemates Marco Sturm (four goals) and Chuck Kobasew (three goals) will suffer in his absence.

The Bruins' special teams also lost a key component. Bergeron's two power-play markers left him tied with Sturm for the team lead.

Fantasy Focus: Mike Cammalleri

Los Angeles Kings' Mike Cammalleri is money in the bank for fantasy owners. The Kings' gunner has ripped home an NHL best 10 goals. Six came during the man advantage, also tops. He is proving an outstanding 2006-‘07 season was no aberration.Scratch my back with a hacksaw! That's how legendary Pittsburgh play-by-play man Mike Lange would have called Rick Nash's stick-between-the-legs goal against St. Louis on Thursday night. The Blue Jackets' phenom rifled home his eighth...
