Eaton's season ends again due to injury. And Gary Roberts falls during an awards ceremony and then during the game, breaking his leg.
Penguins get nothing from Lady Luck but still beat the Sabres. Looking forward to Jan. 1! Hope the weather report is right and that it's cold because with global warming, we could have seen a hockey game on sod!

Watch those highlights
Two veterans, Modano and Kariya, put on a show last night in Dallas.
Meanwhile Ovechkin was performing in Ottawa as Senator veteran and captain Alfredsson and rising star Mike Fisher did great work. Caps won, tho.

The Blended HTH Rotisserie Format
Next year, I'd like a blended Head to Head and Rotisserie format. Here's how it works: Each week, each player gets Rotisserie style points for their performance in each stat. They come out of the week with x points, and then everybody starts from zero again the following week. So the format is like HTH, but the scoring is Rotisserie.
Player with the most points at the end of the year wins.

Phew I'm Back
Moved house but I'm back on the blog. Just a few miscellaneous notes:
1) GABORIK. With his return, all of the other players have improved. Most notable is Pierre-Marc Bouchard.
2) Byfuglien. Still worth taking until he returns to D. Also of note, Dandenault is a D sometimes playing forward (but not doing well enough this year to make a real impact).
3) Zherdev continues to impress, but is Nash injured?
4) How does Havlat's return alter the Chicago lines? Will Kane get to play with him?
5) Mike Smith is doing well. Budaj is recovering his form (but could lose it again).
6) Hooray for Brodeur. A bad in Vancouver is followed by a very good one in EDM. I hope he gets the night off on the visit to Calgary.
7) I dropped Visnovsky for Ohlund. V was a negative every week and his shooting percentage is terrible, but if your league rewards shots instead of SH%, he's a keeper.
8) I traded Osgood for Alfredsson. Good trade or bad? Time will tell.
9) I'm gambling on Selanne. But I'm tempted to drop him for Pierre-Marc Bouchard. It's been tempting to drop Kovalev but I don't get enough goals.
10) Detroit dominates! Other dominant teams are in the Northwest (MIN, COL, VAN, CAL), plus SJ and OTT. Hooray for the return of Buffalo.
11) What's wrong with PIT? I think Ryan Whitney was promoted too far too fast. Eaton deserves ice time. Sydor was supposed to stabilize the blue line. PIT should try to acquire Beauchemin or someone like him.
12) Rumors of a Sundin trade. I'd like to see him go to Buffalo, which needs a captain right now.
13) Randy Robitaille is the most unexpected overperformer of the moment, in my mind. I knew he was very good, but OTT has depth, especially at Center.
