I must say it sure is nice looking at the player pool each day and NOT seeing a big red IR or OUT logo next to half the player’s names on the list. Also, knock on wood, when was the last time a game has been postponed? Has to have been at least two weeks [...]
I’m hesitant to say it, but I feel like the NHL season is really starting to hit its stride. Covid cases are starting to decline and the news this week that asymptomatic players will no longer be tested following the All-Star break should help in keeping those numbers down. That should benefit us both in [...]
While the NFL playoffs are set to steal the Saturday spotlight, don’t sleep on hockey as there are currently 13 games on the schedule, nine of which that fall on the DraftKings main slate. If our opponents are more focused on football and are either not playing NHL DFS altogether Saturday or spending less time [...]
I hate to admit it but the NHL schedule the past few weeks has really been a turn off for me. It started with the Covid postponements and holiday break but even now we have been in a rut of alternating between a day with only one or two games followed by eight or more [...]
I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and the mini-hockey break that came along with it. It seems the break somewhat helped the Covid situation that was crippling the league in the days leading up, and while there are still some postponements it’s nowhere near the amount we were seeing ten or so days ago.

By the time you are reading this, I’ll be en route to Pittsburgh for the Penguins-Ducks game tonight. While I’m not particularly a fan of either team, I’m not going to pass up a chance to spectate and sightsee around the city of Pittsburgh for the weekend. Unfortunately with Jake Guentzel, Bryan Rust, and Evgeni [...]
Can you believe that by this time next week almost every team will be a third of the way through their season already? Who are your biggest surprises and disappointments thus far? Personally, playing daily fantasy as compared to season-long fantasy, you sometimes lose sight of the big picture stuff, so it’s nice to zoom [...]
I would like to begin this week’s article by wishing a happy Thanksgiving to everyone reading whether you celebrated yesterday or back in October. The holiday has shifted the schedule around a bit as usually Thursdays are heavy days and Fridays are light, but with all teams having Thursday off we ended up with 13 [...]
Staying on top of injury and Covid news is a big part of the DFS game, and is something I wanted to touch on briefly after it was pointed out to me last week by a reader, and I’m glad it was, that I had made an incorrect assumption on a player’s availability for the [...]
