Fantasy Analysis
Boogaard played for the first time since Jan. 22 at Calgary. He missed 23 games with a bulging disc. At 6-7 and 254 pounds, Boogaard is one of the most feared checking forwards in the NHL. They say when he throws a punch, it feels like getting hit by an iron. Boogaard is only worth a look in Fantasy leagues that reward heavily for PIM when healthy. (Updated 03/17/2008).
