As I write this (Monday evening), the playoff picture is being whittled down to 4 teams. The Western Conference final is set, now apparently called the McSeries or the McMatchup. Only one game per night makes the daily fantasy bettor choose a very limited lineup - on DraftKings this means a “Showdown” setting where one [...]
After being accurate on six of the eight first-round playoff series, the panel did not fare as well in the second round. Colorado was the only winner picked correctly, with favorites Florida, Carolina, and Calgary all now eliminated. At least the panel was also right on the length of the Colorado – St. Louis series [...]
The story of Game 7 between Carolina and New York was as it had been for much of the Rangers’ season: the power play and Igor Shesterkin. There were four power plays in the first period, two for each team, but the Rangers went 2/2 where the Hurricanes went 0/2, and Igor shut the door [...]
Who will the last team to punch their ticket to the Conference Finals be? Will it be the New York Rangers or the Carolina Hurricanes? We already know that the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche will meet in the West. The Tampa Bay Lightning are one-half of the Eastern Conference Final, but they’ve had to [...]
Dallas had a good season after missing the playoffs in 2020-21, by winning 46 games in 2021-22 and finishing with 98 points. They lost in the first round to the Calgary Flames in a hard-fought seven games, with the deciding game going to overtime. They will be challenged to repeat that next season as they [...]

You can pre-order it here. So far, I’m really impressed with the fantasy-worthy prospects that have been filtering into the Dallas system. [...]

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 [...]
