Ramblings: Updates on Ekblad, Landeskog, and Vrana; McMichael Finally Lines Up; Kuzmenko, Meier, and Josi – October 20

Early in the fantasy hockey season, there needs to be a balance struck. That balance is between what we thought in the offseason, what we’ve seen in the games so far, and what the numbers are telling us. It has been shown in prior statistical work that it can take about 20 games for expected [...]

Goldipucks and the Three Skaters: Brock Boeser, Brad Marchand, Tom Wilson

By |2022-10-16T14:52:19-04:00October 19th, 2022|Roos Lets Loose|

Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]

Ramblings: Struggling Goalies; Forward Buy-Lows; Injuries to Bertuzzi & Ekblad (Oct 19)

By |2022-10-18T22:24:34-04:00October 19th, 2022|Hockey Rambling|

The season is well underway now. We have fanbases panicking, parades being planned across half of the continent, and a whole bunch of news to cover. Meanwhile, on a fantasy level, we have at least one week under our belts, so you’re already seeing some direction from your team. Roto leaguers are just starting to [...]

Eastern Edge: Headlines From Each Team, Including Necas, Nyquist, Wahlstrom, Rust, and More

By |2022-10-18T15:23:57-04:00October 18th, 2022|Eastern Edge|

In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss an early fantasy headline for each team in the conference. Boston Bruins – David’s Krejci Value Since the 36-year-old center played in the Czech league last season, the ‘out of sight out of mind’ phenomenon caused him to fly under the radar in fantasy drafts this year. He’s [...]

DFS Tuesday: Breakout Game for Hughes, Bratt, and the New Jersey Devils

By |2022-10-18T11:38:45-04:00October 18th, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

The season has started, and some teams have outperformed expectations (Boston, Vegas, Philly), while others have laid the proverbial eggs (Vancouver, Minnesota, Ottawa). Trust me, no team will be 82-0 or 0-82 by mid-April, so those deep breathing exercises might be warranted.  For today’s matchups, I’m choosing to focus on the New Jersey Devils. Two [...]

Lining Up: Waiver Options for Fantasy Rosters Including Hagel, Marchment, and Jost

By |2022-10-25T14:14:17-04:00October 18th, 2022|Lining Up|

Welcome back to another edition of Lining Up. Hopefully everyone has enjoyed their first full week of hockey! Although there have only been a few games played for teams, injuries and line adjustments are already making impacts that can help your fantasy roster. Keep a close eye on the line combinations as they change often. [...]

Ramblings: Updates on Bertuzzi, Vrana, and Schmaltz; Zibanejad and Panarin Keep Rolling; Ekblad Injury; Kadri – October 18

By |2022-10-17T23:02:30-04:00October 18th, 2022|Hockey Rambling|

We are through the first week of the NHL season, at least with all the teams playing and not just the teams that made the trip to Europe. As such, I just want to give a handful of first-week observations from around the league. It is still far too early to make determinations about any [...]
