Welcome to the first mailbag of the 2019-20 season. Big thanks to Dobber and his twitter followers, as they were the source for most questions being answered in this installment. Sorry I couldn’t answer them all, as I had to stop before the column grew too huge. Check out the end of the column [...]
Let’s start this off with a goal of the year candidate from the SHL. Canucks 2019 second-rounder, Nils Höglander decided to do the most impressive lacrosse-style goal I've ever seen on Tuesday. While under pressure, he banks the puck to himself off of the back of the net and has the presence of mind [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll take a look at how top lines in the Eastern Conference have been performing so far this season.

Which is a shame, because there are plenty of leagues where there’s a lot of production being wasted on the waiver wire. There [...]
On this week's episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, we don't want to go off on a Rantanen here, but will the Avs ever decide on how lines look without Mikko? Elan and Brian also pick out a handful of underperformers: are they snoozers, or actually buy low targets? We also [...]
Ramblings: Kakko, DeAngelo, Boston’s Big Line, goalie thoughts, and a pair of big-name vets were scratched (Oct 28) *** After three consecutive games of being a ‘minus’ player, nine games with some rotten possession numbers, and terrible power-play results, 34-year-old Brent Seabrook was a healthy scratch for the Blackhawks.
