The Capitals announced yesterday that Alex Ovechkin is out week-to-week, and we have a new Injury Ward writer to cover the big news. We're bringing in Logan Clarkson from GoaliePost over to take over the column from Blake Creamer. All the best to Blake, and keep your eyes peeled for Logan's debut this afternoon. Back [...]
Starting with the battle of Ontario, because everyone knows that's the centre of the hockey universe. The Sens actually looked like the Cup contenders in this one while the Leafs (sans Auston Matthews) looked like the playoff bubble team. Michael Amadio scored against his former team (the Leafs) and now has goals in back to [...]
I’m back after a brief hiatus as I’m trying to manage a full house. Thanks to Ian and Brennan for filling in for me. I don’t know about you but I’m also really ready to be done with election coverage. Let’s get back to hockey. * Artturi Lehkonen returned to action for the Avalanche last [...]
As Columbus played their first home game of the season, everyone's heart was focused not on the game, but on a player that meant so much more - Johnny Gaudreau. The Blue Jackets honoured him with both teams wearing Gaudreau jerseys for warmups, and then saving him a spot at the opening faceoff. https://twitter.com/BlueJacketsNHL/status/1846321096959693004?t=dWDJ1l3M4S6w_M-i5KvP7A&s=19 https://twitter.com/BlueJacketsNHL/status/1846333825497911497?t=wfigUpaHF65zp7PkH8zgNw&s=19 [...]
I had a little too much time to look at the BUF/NJ games. I made an effort not to get caught up in small sample sizes, but it's inevitable to some degree at this point in the season. Regardless, there are a few points that I thought were with making. Dylan Cozens had eight shots [...]
Two more days until real games. We're almost there! Continuing from last week, I have some training camp notes on players that have caught my eye. As a Predators fan, I was really hoping to see a new second line of Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Tommy Novak. That line has been together quite a [...]
Not too many updates this month as we await the big contract from Jeremy Swayman that may reset the goaltending market. Thatcher Demko drops down the rankings with news of his injury affecting his projected numbers for the year. Some smaller adjustments made to others as well, but the consistency on the list should hopefully [...]
We’re back once again, now with Leon Draisaitl signed for eight more years at $14 million per. He has set the new bar that Connor McDavid and his extension will clear just next year. In the meantime, we’re still waiting on contracts for a handful of RFAs. The RFAs that worried me the most to [...]
With a three-year-old and infant twins at home I haven’t done nearly the research or the number of mock drafts that I would usually like to when approaching draft season, but regardless I have still zeroed in on a handful of my favourite selections after pick 150 or so. We’re using Yahoo’s ADP numbers because [...]
Let’s take a quick look at the list of PTOs, and note anyone who could have some fantasy relevance this upcoming season if signed. Tyson Barrie, CGY Barrie is the only one here who would be a presence on a team's top power play unit. He didn't fit at all in Nashville, but otherwise has [...]
