Needles & Grooves Fantasy Hockey League

Well I would've had to make some decisions but Carolina has COVID so yet another Tampa Bay game gets postponed

Whoever i'm facing mid to late February, be ready. I got back to back games galore coming lol
 
He's a welcomed addition to my lineup!

One of the best stories so far in the young season is Bobby Ryan being just a goal off the NHL lead with four tallies in five games.

The Detroit Red Wings forward believes he wouldn't be off to such a strong start if he was still playing for the Ottawa Senators.

“I was thinking about it the other day. Personally, I think the fresh start was welcome. There’s just an excitement that feels different than Ottawa,” Ryan told Ian Mendes on "The Athletic Hockey Show" Podcast.


The Senators bought out the final two years of Ryan's contract this offseason - a decision he said came as a "complete shock." The 33-year-old then inked a one-year, $1-million deal with the Red Wings.

“I just don’t think I would have the same buzz that I have now about playing the game going back to Ottawa," he said. "There was just too much there in the past. I don’t think it would have translated this way for me there.”

Ryan's tenure in Canada's capital was a rocky one on and off the ice. The 2005 No. 2 pick joined the Senators with plenty of promise after averaging 32 goals and 63 points per 82 games over his first five NHL campaigns with the Anaheim Ducks. He averaged just 19 goals and 48 points per 82 games over seven seasons in Ottawa.

Ryan also took a leave of absence from the Senators last season to enter the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program to seek help for his struggles with alcohol abuse. He scored a hat trick during his first home game back in the lineup, and Ryan was later named the recipient of the Bill Masterton Trophy for his perseverance.

“There is part of me that wanted to go back (to Ottawa) and do it the right way, like I am now. Not only sober, but correctly - as a professional,” Ryan said. “But it’s hard to argue with that ending.”

Ryan is the first player in Red Wings history to score four goals in his first three games with the club.
 
I have one of my guys on tonight and it's zero's across the board again.... can't they just at least HIT something. FFS.

Doesn't look like they're getting all that tired... Going to have to micromanage my players a little more. Bag skate tomorrow, bunch of slackers.

Thursday's contest between the Vegas Golden Knights and St. Louis Blues was postponed as the result of a Golden Knights player and member of the coaching staff entering COVID-19 protocol, the league announced.

Vegas announced Tuesday that its entire coaching staff was isolating "out of an abundance of caution." General manager Kelly McCrimmon assumed coaching duties for Tuesday's overtime loss against the Blues.

The Golden Knights canceled Thursday's skate, and the club's facilities will remain closed until further notice.


The league is reviewing and revising the Golden Knights' schedule, and a decision on next week's games will be made in the next 24-48 hours.

This marks the second game-day postponement for the NHL so far this season.
