By |2024-03-29T00:54:54-04:00March 29th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

There were 14 games on Thursday and will be just one on Friday. So that I can spread the workload more evenly over two days, I’ll focus mainly on the early games today while discussing noteworthy happenings from the later games tomorrow. - Juraj Slafkovsky has consistently been one of the top-searched players on Frozen [...]

Ramblings: Forsberg and Preds Looking Fine, Hill Injured, Next Week’s Schedule (Mar 24)

By |2024-03-24T02:31:30-04:00March 24th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

Proving that no goalie is immune to a rough start during the fantasy playoffs, Connor Hellebuyck was pulled midway through the game against the Islanders after allowing five goals. Granted, he had already faced 27 shots, so the blame isn’t necessarily on Hellebuyck personally and can at least be partially shifted to the team in [...]

Ramblings: Wilson Suspended Six Games, Canes and Capitals Score Goals, Benn, Schmaltz, Weekend Streamers (Mar 23)

By |2024-03-23T01:11:03-04:00March 23rd, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

Tom Wilson has been suspended six games for high-sticking Noah Gregor during Wednesday’s game. Wilson’s track record and the fact that he was offered an in-person hearing meant that the length of the suspension was no surprise. Barring a successful appeal (which I don’t see happening but you never know with the Department of Player [...]

Ramblings: Brossoit, Talbot Shutouts; Dubois; Sharangovich; Weekend Waiver-Wire Pickups (Mar 16)

By |2024-03-16T01:02:11-04:00March 16th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

If you streamed Laurent Brossoit on Friday, he got the job done for you and then some. Brossoit made 21 saves as the Jets easily handled Anaheim by a score of 6-0. Brossoit has now posted shutouts in back-to-back games and has five consecutive wins and quality starts. It would behoove the Jets to keep [...]

Top 100 Roto Rankings: March 2024

By |2024-03-14T19:56:00-04:00March 15th, 2024|Hockey Rankings|

As we head into the final month of the regular season, player rankings remain fairly settled. That is why you won’t see many changes again this month, particularly at the top. The stat categories for the Roto Rankings are as follows: Goals, Assists, Special Teams Points, Shots on Goal, Penalty Minutes, Hits, and Blocked Shots. [...]

Ramblings: Point and Kucherov Explode; Andersen, UPL, Fleury Shutouts; Byram in Buffalo (Mar 15)

By |2024-03-15T01:09:36-04:00March 15th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

If this is a fantasy playoff week for you, Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov are doing everything possible to help you (or your opponent) win, even though the Lightning are playing only two games this week. Point was involved in all six of the Lightning’s goals on Thursday, scoring three of them and assisting on [...]

Ramblings: Demko Leaves Game; Tarasenko Loving Florida; Kuznetsov, Duclair, Roslovic Debut For New Teams (Mar 10)

By |2024-03-10T04:01:27-04:00March 10th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

Evgeny Kuznetsov made his Hurricanes debut on Saturday, playing on an even-strength line with Jesper Fast and Jesperi Kotkaniemi while receiving first-unit power-play minutes. He was held without a point in 13 minutes, but he took two shots. Even though it looks like he might have to start in the bottom 6 for the Hurricanes, [...]

Ramblings: Trade Deadline Passes! Vegas Snags Hertl, Kuznetsov Now a Cane, Timo Time, Nichushkin Returns (Mar 9)

By |2024-03-09T01:44:21-05:00March 9th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

As underwhelming as recent trade deadlines have been, it seemed like this year’s version had a bit more action, with many playoff-bound teams loading up. For a recap of all the trades, as well as links to the fantasy takes on the more impactful trades, go to our Trade Deadline Tracker. Mike Clifford and Alex [...]
