It is that time of year where we give thanks for the Fantasy players who have come off the scrap heap to either lead us to glory or just keep things respectable. This will understandably be a bit of a short post as American Thanksgiving is just days away. Think of this as the stuffing to your turkey meal.

When you look down at the bottom of the waiver wire barrel, there are just some players that jump out. It always happens almost without fail. As the injuries continue to mount, it is not enough to just check parts of the waiver wire, but you need to dig deeper and deeper. Week Six is the week before “Turkey Week” and reality dictates it is time to start the process. What process is that? Honestly, it is the one where Fantasy owners go all the way down the well as opposed to simply peeking downwards.

Adam Henrique needs to be grabbed now that he’s on the Devils’ top line. Now is the winter of our discontent. Okay, so that’s not really the case, Fantasy hockey fans. November comes first and usually the Fantasy rain falls before Old Man Winter truly arrives. The cold reality of those October hot streaks fade

As we went fishing this week, looking for the best bets to help your Fantasy team, we also thought about specific categories that a GM might need to push them over the top most weeks. Taking all the variables into the equation was the hardest part.

Let’s get to the biggest attraction in GameCenter — live streaming of every NHL game, in many cases with both home and away feeds. If you’ve used GameCenter on a web browser, you know the interface can be a little clunky at times. Fortunately, the PS3 version is actually fairly streamlined. After loading the app, you get a catalog selection of each of the day’s games, along with viewing options. You can view the home feed, away feed, a condensed version of the game (usually edited down to 10-to-15 minutes), or a highlight package. If you’re joining in during the game, you have the option to watch the game live or start from the beginning, and if it’s after the fact, all of the aforementioned viewing options are available. Note that the highlights and condensed versions do take some time to be made available.

During the first game I watched him in, Voracek was oozing the outrageous stickhandling finesse that had me sold on him in his draft year. He has size, he is fast, he will hit. What is missing? I’ll tell you, in one word: Finish. His finish sucks.

It was an unbelievable showing for a dude that had only topped 30 goals once before. Perry’s shot total was up last season, but not dramatically so… he just scored way more often. It’s reasonable to assume some regression this season and the early returns in preseason aren’t promising (-4 with one point in three games). Obviously, exhibition results generally are meaningless, but asking Perry to again score 50 might be pushing it.
