Some injury news to start: Pavel Zacha will not participate in the Olympics for Czechia due to an upper-body injury. Zacha has missed the past two games with the injury. It is not known whether Zacha will be able to return to the Bruins once the NHL season resumes. Filip Chlapik, who plays in the [...]
With the NHL season now on pause, I’ll use this time to take a closer look at the top five Frozen Tools searches from the past week. These are the players that fantasy owners are the most curious about, so I’ll share my two cents on each. https://twitter.com/FrozenTools/status/2019471091127963793 Fraser Minten Minten is off the Frozen [...]
The last Saturday before the Olympic break featured 14 games, so hopefully you were able to find a game or two to watch. Next Saturday will be completely dark for any NHL or Olympic hockey, so you may have to find some other things to do (aside from reading the Ramblings, of course). Adrian Kempe [...]
Friday’s schedule featured only one game while Saturday has 14 games, which is my way of saying tomorrow’s Ramblings will probably be quite a bit longer than today’s. Friday provided a few topics for discussion, though. The only game on the schedule saw the Blue Jackets defeat the Blackhawks in Chicago by a score of [...]
The Buffalo Sabres are… maybe a playoff team this season? The Sabres are now 18-3-1 in their past 22 games, which has had positive effects on their players. One area where the Sabres can be trusted more than in previous seasons is in goal. On Saturday, Alex Lyon pitched a 26-save shutout over the Islanders. [...]
I read something today saying that Ontario would be the coldest place on earth this weekend, possibly dipping down as far as -50 Celsius in one part of the province. Mitch Marner sure felt that frigidness in the air on Friday as he made his return to Toronto as a member of the Vegas Golden [...]
The Calgary Flames have traded defenseman Rasmus Andersson to the Vegas Golden Knights for defenseman Zach Whitecloud, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2027 conditional second-round pick, and prospect defenseman Abram Wiebe. The Flames will also retain 50 percent of Andersson’s salary for the rest of the season. https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/2013017735744151911 The Golden Knights receive: Andersson, a top-4 [...]
In the Rangers’ 6-3 win over Philadelphia on Saturday, Mika Zibanejad recorded a hat trick, while Artemi Panarin scored two goals and added an assist. Once Panarin leaves the Rangers, Zibanejad’s scoring could take a hit. Zibanejad and Panarin have been paired up quite a bit this season, and Zibanejad’s best linemate both at even [...]
On Friday, Rangers GM Chris Drury shared an open message stating that the Rangers will undergo a retool but not a total rebuild. Although certain players were not mentioned in his message, Elliotte Friedman reported that the Rangers will not offer Artemi Panarin a contract extension, instead opting to work with Panarin and his agent [...]
We are now at the midway point of the season, where we should have a good idea where both real-life teams and fantasy teams stand. The same goes for many players, who we have re-ranked based on recent play as well as from the Midseason Guide projections. The 18th annual Midseason Fantasy Hockey Guide is [...]
