After Gary Bettman absolutely belly flopped in the NHL’s press conference regarding the Chicago Blackhawks abuse scandal, there is another lawsuit being filed against current and former members of the Penguins. https://twitter.com/KatieJStrang/status/1455539564949479424 It is horrific that these things have taken so long to be brought to light and taken seriously, but I hope that this [...]
The NHL season has been trucking along and while not much has changed since last week, we are starting to see things level out a bit. Teams you may have expected to struggle this season like Arizona, Chicago, Ottawa and Seattle sit among the bottom five teams in pure points this season. On the other [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss early answers to some questions we had during the offseason. Is there fantasy value in Toronto’s supporting cast? The Leafs dished out numerous low-cost contracts during the offseason to round out their roster. Michael Bunting, Ondrej Kase and Nick Ritchie were among these signings and became intriguing fantasy [...]
The big news from Monday was that Cole Caufield, Montreal's prize prospect, was being sent to the AHL. On the season, he has zero goals on 22 shots, with just one assist in 10 contests. That is poor, to be sure, but let's keep in mind that Hoffman and Perreault are the only Habs players [...]
I rarely write about goalies in the NHL, because quite frankly they are all a little strange and usually unpredictable. Every season, there seem to be one or two goalies who were playing in the Swedish 3rd division or the league below the ECHL and emerge to win 10 games in a row and propel [...]
Someone once said that if you start from zero, you have nothing to lose. Whoever said that obviously didn't play fantasy sports. We are all used to players having slow starts, but there is nothing more frustrating than watching a player consistently put up zeroes every game, especially in a category where you were counting [...]
The Arizona Coyotes are so terrible that the only way they are getting wins is if their goalie steals one. Since Carter Hutton will never do that, it falls on either Karel Vejmelka or Ivan Prosvetov. And as much as I like Prosvetov as a prospect, I think he’s two years away from being a [...]

Happy Halloween to all my fellow fantasy hockey ghosts and ghouls out there! Halloween also marks the last day of October, so I figured what better time to recap some of the standouts from the first month of the season. It’s a bit of an abbreviated month since the season doesn’t start right on October [...]
Sidney Crosby finally made his season debut on Saturday, but neither he nor the Penguins received the result they were hoping for. Crosby was held without a point with a minus-3 with two shots in 19 minutes of icetime in a 4-2 loss to New Jersey. The Penguins have to be relieved that their captain [...]
