Vegas decided to go with Marc-Andre Fleury in net on Tuesday, and even in spite of the gaffe from game three, it’s tough to argue against it. Both he and Lehner deserve to be leading a team through the final four, but there’s only room for one guy in the crease at a time. The [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll look at the most disappointing player from each team in 2021. This will be the first of two parts, where we’ll cover the first eight teams of the conference in alphabetical order (i.e. Boston to New Jersey). Check out last week's edition as we discussed discrepancies between regular season [...]
As the expansion draft approaches, there are a handful of questions I keep coming back to. I keep asking myself what lessons the GMs have learned from Vegas, what the flat cap might do to prices, how quickly Seattle could possibly contend, and more. As far as individual teams go, there are few more interesting [...]
A few weeks back we looked at how the Colorado Avalanche’s current roster was built. As I sat and watched Vegas beat Montreal in game four of the playoffs, I was curious how many players on the current Vegas roster were part of the expansion draft, traded for, signed for or drafted. Here is what [...]
They say you’re never too old to learn, and that holds in fantasy hockey as well. Fantasy general managers who are still clinging to the old ways will find themselves struggling each season but will chalk up the lack of success to luck. These are the GMs who consistently draft over-the-hill players believing they are [...]
I went to my Twitter followers for topic suggestions this week. Here we go! https://twitter.com/Striker0777/status/1406626697403723782 I was surprised to see that 180 players fit this description. Wow – 180 players hit their team’s cap space by at least $5M. And that’s just the ones signed for next year! We still have this year’s crop of [...]

The Islanders/Lightning series is now a best-of-3 heading back to Tampa Bay for Game 5. Despite a late push by the Lightning, the Islanders were able to hang on with a 3-2 win in Game 4. And I mean hang on. Watch this last-second save by Ryan Pulock. Not Semyon Varlamov. Ryan Pulock. https://twitter.com/NHLonNBCSports/status/1406444950900854787 After [...]
Welcome back to The Journey. Over the past couple of weeks I have been showing off my top-15 2021 NHL draft mock picks. Today, I wrap up the series with my final give picks (11-15) Before I go ahead, let's recap who has been taken this far: #1 - The Buffalo Sabres select Owen Power [...]
Josh Anderson sure picked the right time to break his slump. Anderson scored a gift goal with 1:55 in regulation to tie the game after Marc-Andre Fleury misplayed the puck. Then he scored the game-winner in the first overtime to give the Canadiens a seemingly improbable 3-2 win and a 2-1 lead in their series [...]
