Blackhawk Hamilton Bags rare % point evening......

NHL.com Recap: Blackhawks 7 Coyotes 5 Chicago's Jeff Hamilton gets 5 points on a Hat Trick and 2 Asst. and Patrick Sharp also bags his 1st career Hat Trick for the Blackhawks.
Simon Gange injured his groin on Saturday night, and reports are that he will miss at least the next two games for the Flyers after scoring his 37th goal of the season. Gagne said he didn't feel "...too good right now," and that he would have an MRI on Monday to make sure that things were OK. "My target to return is Thursday night against Atlanta." Despite all the craziness around him, Gagne has put up pretty solid numbers with 37 goals, a year after a career-high total of 47. He has also matched last year 12 PP goals, though his plus/minus has taken a tumble from +30 to its current (-5). http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap?gid=2007031015

Blue Shirt Mara says he's ready to play.

Paul Mara suffered an upper-body injury on Monday night.

The defenseman will be a game-time decision for Thursday's rematch with the Islanders, but said at practice that he is ready to play. Mara is a fantasy factor if your league counts penalty minutes as a positive.

New York Post

Cole off IR but is he ready to play?

Erik Cole participated in his first practice since tearing a hip muscle two weeks ago.

Cole has missed the past seven games with a hip tear, and had missed three earlier games with a hip contusion. His return to practice raised optimism that Cole will be able to play on Friday against Washington. The team was more cautious with its prognosis, and it is too early to know just yet. In any case, this is great news, assuming you hung onto the high-scoring forward.

News & Observer

Vincent Lecavalier my MVP!

Vincent Lecavalier scored 2 goals on Wednesday night to up his league leading goal total to 45 for the LIghtning. "We worked hard to get back to Atlanta and now we are right there," Lecavalier said. "Every game is so important right now. We can't control what they do, we have to control what we do out there. This was an important game after losing the last two."

Shouldn't there be more Vinny for MVP talk? The guy has been simply tremendous this year setting career-highs across the board. Also, of late, who has been hotter? Read this twice if you have to...in his last 30 games he has 24...goals!

Hanging On in 1st......

P. Francis:There's nothing like the feeling in the Pit of your stomach when your hanging on to 1st Place in a league that really matters to you late in the season after the trading deadline. I've finally regained 1st place in my experts league after spending most of the season at the top only to be bumped down a peg or two after the dreaded injury bug struck my squad in January. Iginla and Spezza just to name a few ulcer inducing injuries.
I've learned over the years that's a place an emotion induced trade or the allure of over playing a position in a ROTO League can cost you a Championship. A disciplined application of the plan formatted in the pre-season and twicked during the course of action is the remedy. Remember, Patience and trusting your picks is your best asset during this trying times. Hang in there and avoid stupid moves but if the situation calls for a Bold trade find a partner and pull the trigger. I just traded Andre Markov and Chris Neal (PIM) for a player who can add some Goals down the stretch (Glen Murray).
