It’s always interesting to take a look at players who exceeded expectations with career years (or even returning to past glory). Here’s three of ’em:
Radim Vrbata – In 77 games, he scored 35 goals (8 above his prior career high), tallied 27 assists and put up a +24 (17 above his prior career high). Please, blog, may I have some more?
Right off the bat it doesn’t look like David Backes had a bad season: 24G/30A/17PPP/+15/101PIM/234SOG…. Well actually, on second glance, that is a pretty good season… “Why do you hate David Backes?” Please, blog, may I have some more?
Scott Hartnell had a magical season for the 2011-2012 Philadelphia Flyers. I won’t wax poetic (by the way, WTF is the meaning of “waxing poetic”? And don’t Google it either. HA! Please, blog, may I have some more?
Back in September I decided to throw out some deep sleepers and write glowingly about their potential to surprise us all. Turns out only 2 of the 8 decided to wake up this season. Please, blog, may I have some more?

The gloating about my best preseason picks will happen sometime in the next couple days, but tonight I feel like talking about hockey, non fantasy division. It’s going to be a great playoffs and Danny Briere and the Philadelphia Phlyers got it started in grand fashion. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Today we look at some of my worst prognostications from 7 months ago. The list is long and pretty damning, but then again I’m not a professional prognosticator – I just play one on this blog! Please, blog, may I have some more?

The regular season is over, which means the fantasy hockey season is over too. Sure there are a few degenerates who will be playing in a playoff fantasy but odds are if you’re NHL team is out of it, this is the last you’ll be hearing/thinking/caring about hockey for at least 3 months. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Believe me I’m fully aware of the playoff races going on right now, but my team is out so I’m not exactly wrapped up in it. What I am wrapped up in is a certain 5’7″ Right Winger for the Colombus Blue Jackets. Please, blog, may I have some more?

I always used to watch the Price is Right whenever I would stay home sick from school. Something about a bunch of random idiots winning prizes just hits a chord with me. Please, blog, may I have some more?

I was all prepared to write the eulogy for the 2011-2012 Buffalo Sabres. The last score I saw before writing this was 3-0 Leafs in the 2nd Period. I had the title all lined up and everything: ‘Buffalo Scat’. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Top notch waiver wire pick-ups are hard to find this late in the season, but Devan Dubnyk could be that guy. He stopped 32 of 33 on Sunday and remains less than 50% owned in Yahoo! Please, blog, may I have some more?
