-Teams with 4 game weeks are Atlanta , Pittsburgh, and Toronto in the East and Anaheim, Phoenix and Vancouver in the West .
-Teams with 2 game weeks are The Rangers in the East and Calgary, Chicago, Colorado, Columbus, Dallas, Minnesota, and San Jose in the West .
- Montreal has only one game this week ....their players should be on your bench .
- For those in daily transaction leagues the weather could play havoc with game schedules . Just something to consider as we've yet to have the need for any single game to be rescheduled on the 08/09 schedule - that run looks like it may come to an end soon .
- Atlanta looks like a good place to look during Christmas week as they have a 4 game week and Toronto, the Islanders and Carolina all have had problems in keeping the puck out of their net .
- The Leafs week appears to set up well with 4 games and Atlanta, Dallas and the Islanders providing the opposition in 3 of them .
- Florida looks like a good place for a reach pick or two this week as they get their cross state rivals , Tampa Bay twice . If you have Canadiens players you'd normally use , sticking a marginal guy from the Panthers in this week could yield dividends .
- Other than Zach Parise and one or two others I'd have my Devils on the bench this week . The Rangers and Boston will likely play them to low scoring contests .
- I don't have a great deal of faith in the Senators this week . The team is changing all of it's lines around and trips to Calgary and Vancouver would have you believe goals might be hard to come by .
- Thanks as always for reading, and Merry Christmas to all the readers of Hockeyobserver.
