Another couple weeks have passed and we almost have our final four teams set. While the Rangers and Hurricanes have a Game 7 pending tomorrow night, the other three series have wrapped up and we were treated to a little bit of everything this round. We had some surprise as the Lightning completely rolled over [...]
After five Game 7s in the first round, the second round will feature only one Game 7. The Rangers made sure of that with a 5-2 win over the Hurricanes in Game 6 at MSG on Saturday. Filip Chytil was the scoring star for the Rangers with a pair of goals. He also finished with [...]
It's the end of the month again, which means it's time for another edition of sink-or-swim. We’ll examine three former blue-chip prospects whose values have taken a hit and whose futures now seem uncertain. Should you trade them while they still have name recognition or hold until/buy low before they turn things around and get [...]
As I’m writing this, only four teams still stand in this second round of the playoffs (I must finish the article before the Avs-Blues game tonight). It’s been a controversial round to say the least. This week only, we’ve witnessed the number one team during the season get swept and the Flames were victims of [...]
Sad times for NHL DFS as in all likelihood the days of multiple games on a single slate are over. I’d expect the two Conference Final series to alternate days, giving us one game per night. With that said, if you still want your fantasy fix there is a game available on most of the [...]
Well, that was quite an ending to the sixth game of Colorado/St. Louis. Just when you were about to get up to go to the fridge for a refill or another snack in anticipation of overtime, this happened: https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/1530385764541992960 The unlikeliest of game-winning goal candidates, Darren Helm scored his first playoff goal since 2016. On [...]
This week we are finishing up our most valuable skater series. We have already touched on centers, left wings, and right wings and those articles can be viewed here. So now we are on to defensemen. Check out the rest of those articles for the full story. This week on Frozen Tool Forensics: Most Valuable [...]
The Carolina Hurricanes had the run of play in Game 5 and skated out with a 3-1 win over the New York Rangers to take a 3-2 series lead. Igor Shesterkin had a very solid game but the skaters struggled to generate much, if any, sustained pressure outside of power plays. That has been the [...]
After how these two series got started, who would have thought that the New York Rangers would be heading back to Carolina with a 2-2 series tie? Or that the Edmonton Oilers would have the Calgary Flames on the ropes? Hockey is a funny sport and momentum can certainly swing the pendulum in either team’s [...]
We are looking at what could be the last two-game slate of the season on tap for Thursday. We know the Carolina-New York series will make it to the weekend, but an Edmonton win tonight will put a dagger to the multi-game DFS slates. If Calgary were to win and extend the series, I’d expect [...]
