This can also happen any time a first line player gets demoted to third or fourth line status. The very impatience of Fantasy hockey owners is what bites them in the caboose later. What becomes worse is those dreaded platoon goalie situations that every owner also dreads. However, what seems like one person’s pain can be another owner’s gain. There is nothing more satisfying than to steal someone’s damaged goods and watch them blossom. It is like the gift that keeps on giving.

I know this sounds crazy, but undaunted, what we are going to try to do this week is take a look at those who have fulfilled our dreams this season and maybe those who we dare to dream will do bigger things in the last part of the season before the Fantasy playoffs start.

People often ask me ‘hey did you see that, or did you go to that game?’ Well, Sunday night was one of those rare instances that I got to see something people do not see very often. This was a resumption of a hockey game that had been suspended because the arena circuit breaker blew. The Devils were nice enough to compensate fans who were at the original game with tickets to another game on top of honouring their tickets to Friday. About 3,500 brave souls went to this “abbreviated” game where the final 29:12 was wrapped up. The Devils were down 3-0 at “halftime” and lost 4-2. They did come close, but as you know, close is not good enough (except in horseshoes and nuclear war).
