Fantasy Hockey Update

Earlier this season, I offered up some fantasy hockey tips to help you win your draft this season. While I thought I was doing you all a favor by imparting some knowledge, some e-mail that I received seemed quite the contrary.

After a couple of early season goaltender pick-ups in Chris Osgood and Josh Harding, I also managed to wrap up Sergei Samsonov as a free agent when he joined the Carolina Hurricanes.

All in all, my fantasy hockey season has been exceptional. This past week I was helped out by some outstanding performances by Alexander Ovechkin and Olaf Kolzig of the Washington Capitals.

As you can see, NHL Digest.com is dominating the Yahoo Fantasy Hockey League this season.

As further evidence of domination, I offer you the results from Week 17 of the Fantasy Heroes Hockey pool .

Week 17 Fantasy Hockey

I contemplated picking up Teemu Selanne after he announced his return to Anaheim, but I decided against it given the outstanding performance of my forwards thus far.

I hope that this decision doesn’t come back to bite me down the home stretch of the season. It is quite possible that Selanne could post excellent numbers to close out the season.

I would highly suggest that if you have room for another forward on your team, due to injury or poor performance, that you pick up Selanne.
