Posted in Fantasy Hockey by SlapShot 563 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News Dion Phaneuf will serve as the Maple Leafs captain in 2010-11, according to TSN. Our View This despite the fact that Phaneuf has just 26 Maple Leafs games under his belt.

Toews named Conn Smythe winner

Posted in Fantasy Hockey by SlapShot 564 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News After tallying 29 points (in 22 games) during the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup run, Jonathan Toews was named the winner of the 2010 Conn Smythe award on Wednesday evening. Our View Amazingly, despite being just 22 years of age, Toews is not the youngest player to ever take home playoff MVP honors. That distinction belongs to someone you may have heard of, goalie Patrick Roy, who won the award at age 20 in 1986 as a member of the Canadiens.

Briere has three points, but Flyers fall in six

Posted in Fantasy Hockey by SlapShot 565 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News Daniel Briere factored in every Flyer tally on Wednesday night, but it wasn't enough as Philly lost a 4-3 heart-breaker in overtime and Game 6 went to the Chicago Blackhawks giving them their first Stanley Cup Championship in 49 years. Our View Briere scored a goal, assisted on two others in the game and finished with 30 points in 23 playoff contests to lead all players. Michael Leighton, who was brilliant leading up to the finals, had another tough outing as he allowed four goals on 41 shots in the game. He was peppered with shots all night, but the goals he did allow were soft and could have been avoided in most respects. Scott Hartnell scored the other two goals for the Flyers, including one to tie the game at 16:01 of the third period, but Philly will just have to settle for being the second best team in 2010.

Jonathan Toews, the NHL's youngest captain, was named the Conn Smythe award winner as the most valuable player in the playoffs. He had seven goals and 29 points, finishing second overall in points and was the first to hoist the cup in Philly's unfriendly confines on Wednesday. Antti Niemi stopped 21-of-24 shots in the game and Dustin Byfuglien, Patrick Sharp and Andrew Ladd scored the other tallies for the Blackhawks. The wait is finally over after 49 years.

The News Flyers coach Peter Laviolette has given a strong hint that Michael Leighton will start in net for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals on Wednesday night, according to ESPN.com.

Our View Leighton was pulled from the net on Sunday night after giving up three early goals, but it sounds like he'll be back between the pipes as the Flyers look to stay alive on Wednesday.
