Looking Ahead: October 12 – 24

By |2018-10-12T12:41:10-04:00October 12th, 2018|Looking Ahead|

  All fantasy owners need help in the short term AND the long term. The Looking Ahead feature identifies one player to plug into lineups in the short term, a second to invest in for the long term, a third to bench for the coming week, and a fourth who will struggle to meet expectations [...]

Ramblings: Injury Updates to Patrick, Weber, Ladd, Tyler Johnson; Game Recaps – October 12

By |2018-10-11T22:53:19-04:00October 12th, 2018|Hockey Rambling|

  Everyone knows scoring is up in the league compared to last year. It’s been just over a week, so we’ll have to see where things stand probably three months from now. Remember that scoring started high last year because they were trying to crack down on slashing/hooking around the hands, then once PP opportunities [...]

Capped: Slow Starts and Cap Predictions

By |2018-10-11T06:54:42-04:00October 11th, 2018|Capped|

  I love getting back into the swing of hockey, having games available to watch all night, fantasy lineups to set, news to over-analyze and trade discussions to mull over. Last week’s Capped article seemed to be very well received, and I have even re-read it myself a few times over the last couple of [...]

Ramblings: Injury Updates for Stastny and Patrick; Jan Kovar; Game Recaps; Forum Questions – October 11

By |2018-10-11T06:46:44-04:00October 11th, 2018|Hockey Rambling|

  We had a wild game in Canada’s capital Wednesday night that featured a lot of goals and an equal amount of nastiness. The first note was that not only did Brady Tkachuk score his first career NHL goal, he managed a pair of them. Truth be told, his power play unit looked much better [...]

  Welcome to another edition of injury news from around the NHL. If you don’t see a player here, there probably hasn’t been a significant update on their status. But fear not, you can always follow me on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza for the latest injury information.   Ryan Getzlaf – The Ducks’ captain is currently day-to-day [...]

Cage Match: Claude Giroux vs. Evgeni Malkin

By |2018-10-09T23:19:40-04:00October 10th, 2018|Roos Lets Loose|

For my first match since the puck officially dropped on 2018-19, I decided to go big, with Claude Giroux squaring off against Evgeni Malkin. Both surprised last season – Giroux by recapturing his elite scoring, and Malkin for simply staying healthy. The Fantasy Guide (available for order here and just as useful now) has them [...]

Eastern Edge: Developing Early-Season Trends

By |2018-10-09T07:18:58-04:00October 9th, 2018|Eastern Edge|

  It is wheels up for the NHL season! How about the Auston Matthews toe-drag snipe in the first game of the season?  Kyle Palmieri proved quite quickly why he was bound to produce value on his ADP – throttling the hapless Oilers for two goals in the first game of the season.  Where was [...]
