Hot 5:

1. Nicklas Lidstrom - you notice how quickly he's moved up the ladder jumping up from 14 to 6 on the list. He's riding a six game point streak, not to mention, he also had a monster game against St. Louis with a hat trick and one assist. He's scored four goals and six assists in the past six games. He's on a monster tear. 

2. Drew Doughty - he's jumped up 17 spots in the rankings with an assist in four straight games as well as monster minutes and a great +/- ranking. 

3. Jack Johnson - He's also jumped up 7 spots and points in six straight games! He's also on a good streak with the +/-!

4. Tobias Enstrom - He's had a couple two goal games and played very well as of late for the Thrash.

5. Dan Boyle - He's averaging almost a point per game as of late and is making waves with his play. Although he didn't go up in the rankings, he is still a very very good player.

Cold 5:

1. Kimmo Timonen - No points in the last four games with a -2 over that span and not really getting many points as of late.

2. Stephane Robidas - No points in the past five games, he's scored 7 points in the past 14 games.

3. Bryan McCabe - He's had some terrible games as of late, but he'll resume scoring again in the near future.

4. Mark Giordano - he's got three games with no points and 1 assist in the past 6 games.

5. Anton Stralman - one point since he came back from injury and no points in the past six games.

More to come next week!

Out: Radim Vrbata, Steve Sullivan, Jack Skille, Tomas Kopecky, Sean Bergenheim, Steve Ott, Jarret Stoll

Biggest Movers: Henrik Sedin(↑17), Brandon Dubinsky(↑15), David Backes(↑15), Johan Franzen(↑14), Ryan Getzlaf(↓10), Joe Pavelski(↑10), Derek Roy(↓15), Brian Gionta(↓10), Brian Boyle(↑21), Thomas Vanek(↓11), Chris Kunitz(↑14), Joe Thornton(↑13), Patrick Kane(↓11), Chris Stewart(↓10), Steve Ott(↑15), Patrice Bergeron(↑13), Taylor Hall(↓13), Nikolai Kulemin(↓10), Clarke MacArthur(↓10)

Hot 5 (10 for this week):
1. Shane Doan: Four game point streak with 6 points over that span. He's also got 14 points this month after scoring 7 points in October and November. Dude's on a hot streak
2. Sidney Crosby: His 25 game point streak finally ended, but that means he can start another point streak!
3. Henrik Zetterberg: Five game point streak with 9 points over that span. Even though Datsyuk went down, Henrik is still scoring!
4. Ray Whitney: Four points over four games. After a couple no shows at Pittsburgh and Long Island, he's resumed his play once again, although with the Coyotes, you never know who's going to be scoring for them
5. Patrick Marleau: 6 points in the last five games after only 1 point in the previous 8 games. He's had a ton of shots on net though!
6. Henrik Sedin: two games this month with no points, otherwise he's had 20 points this month in 13 games. Three multi-point games in the past four games with a couple three assist games. He's on fire!
7. Johan Franzen: 7 points over six games and he's been scoring since Datsyuk went down. The Mule has been doing his job for the Red Wings.
8. Joe Thornton: As with Marleau, he's got 7 points in the past five games. Seems as though the Sharks have finally started click again, and Super Joe Thornton is the main catalyst.
9. Anze Kopitar: 7 points in the past four games and like Henrik Sedin, he's only had two games without a point this month. However, he also has 19 points this month in 13 games. 
10. He's one of the main scoring catalysts for the Thrashers and has he's been hot as of late with a five game point streak going into the game with Boston. Also has 7 points over that span and looks to continue scoring points this month for the Thrash


Cold 5:
1. Radim Vrbata: 1 goal this month, plus two assists... hasn't really played much either... notice how he's outta the top 100?
2. Tyler Ennis: Outside of a two goal game last week, he's done nothing really, including posting a -4 in the past three games
3. Niclas Bergfors: he really hasn't played or scored points as of late... so I guess that means he's not to be on any fantasy rosters...
4. Thomas Vanek: No Derek Roy... no more points... time to dump him...
5. Scott Hartnell: five points this month and no points in the past four games. He's scored two goals this month going into tonight... not really a guy you should be playing...

THE 3 S'S ARE BACK!

So I'm back with my Studs, Solids, and Sleepers! Let's kick off the new year with a bang! Just a heads-up, these are strictly guys playing four games this week since they have the most opportunities to score points and you should take advantage of it!

Sleepers
Carey Price
Henrik Lundqvist

Saturday Afternoon Goalies (SAGs)

I guess for goalies, I'd put the top 25. In my opinion, goaltending is by far the most difficult position to keep a hold of. While forwards and defensemen may go up or down in line combinations, goalies have only one choice, either u start in net, or ride the pine.

Top 25 Goalies
1. Carey Price
2. Jonas Hiller
3. Tim Thomas
4. Cam Ward
5. Tomas Vokoun
6. Henrik Lundqvist
7. Jonathan Quick
8. Jimmy Howard
9. Ondrej Pavelec
10. Ilya Bryzgalov
11. Kari Lehtonen
12. Roberto Luongo
13. Miikka Kiprusoff
14. Marc-Andre Fleury
15. Jaroslav Halak
16. Niklas Backstrom
17. Sergei Bobrovsky
18. Ryan Miller
19. Michal Neuvirth
20. Brian Elliott
21. Nikolai Khabibulin
22. Pekka Rinne
23. Steve Mason
24. Antero Niittymaki
25. Corey Crawford

Hot 5
1. Jonas Hiller - the recurring trend with Hiller is that if he gives up two goals or less, he wins, if he gives up three or more, he loses, guess what's he been doing as of late?
2. Brian Boucher - while he has temporarily wrestled the starting job from Bobrovsky in Philly, don't expect him to be in the driver's seat after Christmas. Laviolette showed that he's willing to alternate goalies, even though Boucher has been on fire the past two weeks
3. Jonathan Quick - since Thanksgiving, Quick has given up three or more goals only three times, everything else has been two goals or less. He's shown a lot of consistency  with a string of games giving up only two goals, but he had two games against St. Louis and Chicago where he gave up 5 and 3 goals respectively, although, those two games were sandwiched by shutouts. Expect Quick to hover around 2.00 GAA for the rest of the season
4. Tomas Vokoun - he's been really solid as of late, although giving up three goals in back-to-back games might make some owners cringe, he's also had a pair of shutouts and some other good quality starts.
5. Niklas Backstrom - after splitting time with Theodore, he's now had three straight games where he's only given up 1 goal per. Also noted is the fact that he has three straight wins.

Cold 5
1. Marty Turco - why people still own this guy is beyond me... he's been god awful for a while now and has lost the starting gig to Corey Crawford
2. Martin Brodeur - wait... what? Brodeur is mortal? Outside of a shutout against Phoenix, he's given up 2 or more goals in every game since he came back... and those games with 3 or more goals? He's lost all of them. The lowlight was getting pulled against the Islanders after giving up five goals. Clearly, his career is on the downward spiral.
3. Semyon Varlamov - I love Varly, don't get me wrong, but he's been garbage this month. He had a good game against St. Louis to start the month, then Washington went on that horrible 8 game slide which had Varly eating four losses and a 3.75 GAA during the stretch while giving up 7 goals against the Rangers. Tread carefully owners as he may be getting starts again in the near future
4. Jonas Gustavsson - while Giguere is on the bench resting a Groin injury, Gustavsson will be starting... cept he's only won 4 games this season. Not to mention, he gave up five goals against Atlanta recently. Last time he won was against Washington during their 8 game losing streak... and before that, he hadn't won since before Thanksgiving. Maybe he needs X-mas to get his game back... or maybe he should go back to Sweden
5. Steve Mason - honestly, I'm waiting for this kid to get demoted back to the minors. I think it's about that time...

More to come next week!

47. John Erskine
48. Andrej Meszaros
49. Cody Franson
50. Matt Carle

There is a formula as to how i derived these rankings, but the formula is also different that what I used for forwards since defensemen are not as likely to score points. Again, the five items I calculated were G, A, +/-, PIM, and SOG.

5 Hottest Defensemen
1. Dan Boyle - 4 game point streak with 2 goals and three assists, as well as a +2 and 14 SOG makes him a hot commodity
2. Stephane Robidas - 7 assists in the last 6 games, including a 3 assist night against Montreal and a +6 over that span
3. Brian Rafalski - 5 game point streak with 8 assists during that span, has yet to score a goal this season, but is averaging almost an assist per game.
4. Tobias Enstrom - had a monster 4 point night against Toronto with 2 goals and 2 assists and had a span of 6 pts over three games, including the Toronto game, I'm sure we'd all like to see more consistency out of him.
5. Dustin Byfuglien - Buff's got the stuff, a goal in each of the pat two games and 7 points in the last 7 games, Buff is always going to have the stuff.

5 Coldest Defensemen
1. Michael Del Zotto - past five games, 1 A, +2, and 4 SOG, not to mention he was scratched against Ottawa and missed the game against Tampa with a stomach ailment, he's not really performing well at all this year...
2. Andy Greene - in what can only be described as a miserable year for the Devils, Andy Greene's +/- is taking a beating with a -23 this season. Not only that, he's had a -5 in the past four games and has only posted a positive once since thanksgiving.. speaking of which... he hasn't scored since then either...
3. Matt Carle - while he's not a bad player, ever since Pronger went down, he hasn't been the same defensively with the increased workload, especially last night against Florida
4. Brad Stuart - four straight games with a negative +/- says it all...
5. Sergei Gonchar - the Pittsburgh Power Play hasn't been the same since he left and his play hasn't been the same since he left. He's got a brutal +/- this season and has two assists this month with nothing but 0's or negatives in the +/-

I guess that's it for now, more to come next week as I figure out what I'm going to do with all these numbers...

Thursday Night Forwards (TNFs)

There's a formula I used to calculate the power rankings based on everyone's current stats. So obviously, those that perform poorly will slide down, and those that do well will go up. The stats involved are Goals, Assists, +/-, SOG, and PIM. So that's why Sean Avery is so high.

Top 5 Hottest Fowards
1. Loui Eriksson - he's got 8 points in the last four games and 11 in the last eight games. He's also had a +2 and 22 SOG.
2. Corey Perry - he's been scoring points and racking up PIMs this season, turning out to be a monster. 13 pts in the last 7 games to go with 24 PIMs and 35 SOGs. He had a monster five point game against Minnesota and score two goals against Buffalo Tuesday Night.
3. Dustin Brown - he's also got 13 points in the last seven games including a four point night against Colorado on Tuesday. He's been tearing it up as of late
4. Brad Richards - Brad Richards is proving to the Stars management that he doesn't want to go. Eight points in the last 8 games and scoring goals in each of the last three, he's is absolutely on fire right now!
5. Evgeni Malkin - Malkin has scored nine points in 4 games since coming back from injury. He's really turned his game up a few notches and it's shown  in the stat book. Not to mention, ESPN went crazy over his five point night against the Coyotes.

Top 5 Coldest Forwards...
1. Niclas Bergfors - this dude hasn't been playing or even skating for that matter, and somehow, a ton of people own him. It's time to dump him folks, even his team doesn't want him.
2. Jason Arnott - Arnott has not recorded a point in his last six games. Not only that, he has one goal and two assists since Thanksgiving.
3. Matt Cullen - what started as a fantasy point machine in the power play has now become an injury bug. Cullen isn't scoring, much less staying on the ice long enough to do so... time to dump him.
4. Thomas Vanek - Vanek hasn't been THAT bad, 2 goals, an assist in the past six games, but a -3 and only 13 SOG for a guy that's getting paid 7 million to score... he's really not living up to his potential or value right now...
5. Sean Avery - he gets PIMs, only PIMs, except when he's not on the ice to get PIMs, but the fact of the matter is, he's not getting as much ice time as he used to, not only that, his value is going down as fantasy owners realize he's not producing points anymore.

I guess this is all I got for now...

So... what's up?

Hey, so we've been off a while, and now we're going to really get into this for real. I'm going to get somebody to edit our layout so that it looks a lot better as well as getting more consistency out of our bloggers. Not only that, but with the NFL season over, it's time to focus on hockey and (gasp, dare I say it?) the NBA. More consistency to come in the coming weeks!

Really? GTFOS Week 13

1. Tom Brady ABSOLUTELY RAPING the Jets D to the tune of 326 yards passing and 4 TDs- Really? Did anyone see this coming? Wait... who has two thumbs and called it? THIS GUY! I had Brady, Woodhead, Welker, and Ben-Jarvus Ellis Green starting in one of my money leagues. Brady has just gone insane as of late. He's thrown picks in only two games this season and has decided that he's going to wreck the league this year. It doesn't matter who you got, he's going to rape them. END OF STORY!

1a. Ben Jarvus Green-Ellis (72 rushing yards, 2 TDs, 1 reception, 7 yards) - Monster game on the ground against a formidable Jets defense. Keep 'em coming!

1b. Danny Woodhead (11 yards rushing, 4 receptions, 104 receiving yards) - No bigger way than to thank your former team for cutting you than lighting them up in the passing game!

1c. The rest of the Patriots receivers - for making the Jets defense look like a cakewalk!

2. Andre Johnson (6 rec, 149 yards receiving, 10 yards rushing) - Andre Johnson got thrown outta his last game, decided to come back and light up the Eagles Defense for 149 yards receiving. How? When you have Arian Foster running the ball, you're going to get one-on-one coverage. All Schaub has to do is throw it up to him and let him get it.

3. Chris Ivory (117 rushing yards, 2 rushing TDs) - This guy was backing up Thomas and Bush? Not this week! He's the starters and he absolutely tore the Bengals to shreds. Pick this guy up if you haven't already, he's going to be a stud for your fantasy playoffs!

4. Robert Meachem (3 receptions, 106 receiving yards, 1 TD) - The frustrating thing about the Saints receiving corps is that you don't know who's going to have the monster game every week. Robert Meachem finally exploded for 100 yards this season! Don't hold your breath for the rest of the season though, he only had three targets, but at least he caught everything thrown his way!

5. Greg Jennings (6 receptions, 122 receiving yards, 2 TDs) - Greg Jennings has been on fire as of late, him and Rodgers are really connecting at a key time for fantasy owners. Greg Jennings right now is running past everyone and there's no way to stop him from smoking the defense. Expect 100 yards and at least 1 td per game for the rest of the season

6. Vernon Davis (4 receptions, 126 receiving yards, 1 TD) - Finally VERNON DAVIS has broken out. He's only had one other game with 100 yards receiving. But he is going to be iffy going down the stretch. He got more than half the yards on a busted coverage play for the TD, but don't expect much more from here on out.

7. Maurice Jones-Drew (186 yards rushing, 1 reception, 4 yards receiving) - Wasn't this Titans defense supposed to be scary or something? Not to MAURICE JONES-DREW! HE ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED THEM! Maurice Jones-Drew has been a monster all season and with five straight games rushing for at least 100 yards, he's tearing it up. Give him props, he's been busting his ass since he got into the league.

8. Chris Johnson (53 yards rushing, 2 receptions, 14 yards receiving) - Really? Last time at this year, Chris Johnson was on pace to smash the NFL rushing record. With no wide receivers, okay, wide receivers that actually give a shit (*cough* *cough* Randy Moss), the threat of Vince Young running gone and Kerry Collins hobbling around, Chris Johnson is screwed!

9. The passing game in the Chiefs-Broncos game - really, no one had more than 4 receptions or 54 yards passing. Dwayne Bowe was shut down. The Broncos receivers were shut down, looks like both defenses learned something from the shootout in the previous game.

10. Knowshon Moreno (161 rushing yards, 1 reception, 14 yards receiving) - FINALLY, KNOWSHON HAS ARRIVED! He's been putting up solid numbers since the bye week, keep riding him from here on out.

11. Jamaal Charles (116 yards rushing, 2 receptions, 20 yards receiving) - Jamaal got most of the carries in what has been a see-saw season with the chiefs running back tandem. On Sunday, Charles took charge with the carries. Not to take anything from Thomas Jones, but Charles is now the number 1 back in KC.

12. Benjamin Watson (10 receptions, 100 receiving yards, 1 TD) - Best game of the season so far for Watson. In a game where the receivers were shut down, the TE Watson shined above them all. Could this continue? Maybe for the next two weeks. But he was great in New England, and can be good in Cleveland if he gets balls.

13. Adrian Peterson (107 yards rushing, 3 rushing TDs, 1 reception, 1 receiving yard) First 3 TD game for Peterson all season! Last season he got it in the first game of the season! This is also only his second 100+ yard rushing game all season, but the fantasy numbers he put up were awesome!

14. Sidney Rice (5 receptions, 105 yards receiving, 2 TDs) - Rice's first monster game! He'll definitely keep it up for the rest of the season! Be glad if you drafted him and held onto him thing long!

15. Brandon Jacobs (103 rushing yards, 2 TDs) & Ahmad Bradshaw (97 yards rushing, 2 TDs, 1 reception, 8 yards) - What makes this impressive is that both backs went for over 100 combined yards and 2 tds each.

16. Giants Defense - 3 interceptions, 3 fumble recoveries, that's how they win games, win the turnover battles, and hope McNabb makes a ton of mistakes... as well as the rest of the Redskins team...

17. Marshawn Lynch - (83 yards rushing, 1 reception, 17 receiving yards, 3 TDs) Probably his first game in a long time with 100 combined yards and his first 3 TD Game! Don't expect him to repeat, the Panthers gave up 3 TDs to Peyton Hillis as well
