FDH Insider/Goon Squad June 11: cancelled

We apologize greatly for the fact that we will not be bringing you the FDH Wednesday night on SportsTalkNetwork.com with THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER from 7-9 PM EDT and THE GOON SQUAD from 9-10 PM EDT. If you've been following our serialized installments on The FDH Lounge blog over the past week, you'll see that we're preparing our largest free online magazine ever. In conjunction with our friends at Sportsology, we're releasing HOCKEY DRAFTOLOGY this week, a preview of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and offseason. Due to a last-minute acquisition of a tremendous amount of material from talented puck scribe Shane Malloy, we have literally tripled the size of our publication and it's "all hands on deck" right now to get this released by the end of the week. We apologize for our absence from your cyber-airwaves tonight and urge you to check out live FDH programming at your next opportunity: on Sunday night (8-11 PM EDT) for the 30th edition of THE FDH LOUNGE.

FDH Insider/Goon Squad June 4

This Wednesday's edition of THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER on SportsTalkNetwork.com (7-9 PM EDT) features a rich and aromatic blend of baseball, hockey and hoops content.

In Hour One, we'll examine some key MLB injury situations and we'll also take an early look at trading deadline buyers and sellers. From there, we preview our HOCKEY DRAFTOLOGY online publication being published June 10 in conjunction with our friends at Sportsology. It will contain content for not only the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, but also the offseason as a whole.

Hour Two is devoted to discussion about the NBA Draft. In the past week, we posted Senior Editor Jason Jones' Top 99 Overall prospect list. We continue last week's discussion about lottery teams and look at attractive and unattractive options for various teams.

For the second consecutive week, our hockey show, THE GOON SQUAD, coincides with the Stanley Cup Finals. As such, our show will air in an abbreviated edition during the first intermission period only (starting approximately at 9 PM EDT). We'll look at the Detroit-Pittsburgh series in depth, including the "instant classic" Game Five. All in all, it promises to be another outstanding edition of THE GOON SQUAD and the FDH Wednesday night lineup on STN as a whole.
