We’re three weeks into the 2011-12 NHL season and at last The Wire Troll is back. The first few weeks have been wildly inconsistent for the Fantasy hockey GM. Early on, the pleasant surprises have been plentiful, but so have the disappointments. Right on cue, the weather has even turned south as an October blizzard […]

    Apparently in Winnipeg there are certain people, you do not go after.  Florida’s Jack Skille found that out the hard way last night as after a clean hit, he had to fight Andrew Ladd and Dustin Byfuglien.  It was probably not on his to do list but give Skille credit, he weathered the […]

It does seem that we are on a bit of a “firsts” kick here on The Program.  Since the first of the month is here, we went searching back and way back for a moment that would illustrate a fresh beginning of sorts.  The best part was we did not have to go very far […]

    It has been an interesting week in fantasy hockey and Week 4 is underway. What do we have this week?  Daniel Dobish brings the heat from Rotoexperts this week……. ———————————————————————————— Highlights: Daniel Alfredsson is the latest player diagnosed with a concussion. Should you play the Swedish forward this week? If you’re looking for […]

Sometimes a moment just goes so fast it seems like it vanished and then it happens again.  Well let us see what occurred on this day 24 years ago.  Not only was this a real scream but was quite the stunner too.  The strangest fact was the following.  Chicago accomplished this feat and yet still […]

    The final day of Week 3 is upon us fantasy hockey fans.  It was another strange week as they all have been so far this hockey season.  If it all goes right, we are probably around two weeks away from one of the biggest fantasy impacts of the young year.  However, that is […]

Today, we have a moment in honor of a player that should just have been a New Jersey Devil.  After all his name was perfect for it.  On a lazy Sunday afternoon, this moment occurred eight years ago today.  First, here is the video and then well you know the rest….     October 30, […]

Fight on and here are the videos…..         Have a great night!!

Today on Pick The Winner, we have a few simple picks for everyone.  This is quick and to the point.  Kevin from NHL Predictions even has been kind enough to help us out.  ———————————————————————— KEVIN’S PICKS…….. A nice WINNER yesterday with our one and only UNDER play between the Blues/Flames. Only 1 goal was scored […]

    Saturday is made for hockey and Saturday Night is alright for fighting!  Thanks to Ian Gooding from Kukla’s Korner as he gives you his six picks err Pick Six on a Saturday in the National Hockey League.  Without further adieu, let’s get to these so we can get to the games this afternoon […]

The snow is falling here and really it is not all that much of a big deal but the moment today is more of one as Theo Fleury was always an event whereever he played.  This moment happened ten years ago today and a milestone that Fleury still remembers to this day.  Here is the […]

    There was an urge to show the Carey Price blunder but because he did win, we ultimately resisted.  It was one of the strangest nights all season in the fantasy hockey world.  There were own goals, wild games of endless scoring, and then goalie gaffes galore plus more.  It was a night some […]

Today we found one that really takes you back in time but not too far.  Just think that this guy is still lighting it up in the NHL after all these years and looks better than ever.  600+ goals later and still going strong with a Stanley Cup in his resume, this player had one […]

Thursday Night fight time….get the peanut butter and jelly ready……           Have a great night everyone!!!!

    Well Montreal sure makes it interesting. Fire an assistant coach then score five goals. Maybe that is how to do it in the NHL.  Okay that is really not the right way but in Montreal, anything that causes celebration is good no matter what the methodology is.  As most know, with a packed […]
