The Wire Troll: Short Week Edition

/ Chris Wassel, Hockey, The Wire Troll

FThis is another short week because of the All-Star game. However, on Tuesday they will get back at it in the NHL which means it will be full steam ahead for your Fantasy hockey teams once again. Keep in mind with the five-day work week for some and six for other leagues, scores will be a bit skewed. That being said, it is time to check out some teams that are enjoying the schedule this week (which is a nice way of saying they are busy).

The Wire Troll: T-Mac is Back – For Now

/ Basketball, Buck Davidson, The Wire Troll

Perkins made his first appearance of the season on Tuesday, after missing the Celts’ first 43 games while recovering from ACL surgery. He has averaged 6.3 points and 6.3 boards in his first three games back, but those numbers are bound to grow as his playing time increases. Perkins averaged 10.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.7 blocks last season, but his injury situation caused him to go undrafted in most leagues this season. While he is off to a slow start, Perk’s track record should make him a must-add in deep Fantasy leagues, and he is worth monitoring in just about every format.

Video Game Review: Modern Combat: Domination

/ Video Game Reviews

There isn’t much to get excited about here. You’ve seen the game’s five locations in one form or another in plenty of other shooters with pathways laid out to allow multiple access points to rooms and dissuade camping. The level of detail is fairly sparse throughout, but if that’s the price to be paid for a usually smooth frame rate then so be it. What is disappointing is the lack of impact from explosives or the last gen smoke effects when you pop a grenade for cover.

NBA Today: Melo-Drama Not Affecting Nuggets

/ Basketball, NBA Today

With Utah struggling, Denver has pulled within a half-game of second place in the Northwest division (and sixth in the West), and the division-leading Thunder has been spinning its wheels lately, opening the door for the Nuggets to make a run. And even though they’re just 6-13 on the road, as far as road trips go, this is about as easy as it gets as after the stop in the U.S. capital, the Nuggets travel to Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia and New Jersey to wrap up the month.

The Wire Troll: Hockey Sandman Cometh?

/ Chris Wassel, Hockey, The Wire Troll

The 2010-2011 Fantasy hockey season has seen everything…and do I mean everything. Just when you think it could not get any weirder, another event occurs that baffles the mind. During times like these we often joke about this mythical Hockey Sandman, but really he is not too far off from some. This is how the cycle kind of goes.
