The Kings have signed Alex Turcotte to a three-year, $2.325 million contract. The fifth overall pick in 2019, Turcotte has played fewer NHL games (32) than all the players drafted from 1 to 18 that year. He played 20 of those games in 2023-24, scoring four points in 20 games. His AHL scoring rate was [...]
Can the Edmonton Oilers complete an improbable comeback in the Stanley Cup Final? We will find out on Monday evening in Game 7. I’ll get to the individual player stats shortly, but let’s take a look at the list of teams that have tied an NHL playoff series after being down 3-0. Not something that [...]
Well, we have a Stanley Cup Final series now. There’s no way the Panthers wanted to make the long trek back to Edmonton for another crack at winning the cup. The good news for Florida is that at least they still have two more cracks at it. The bad news is that if they can’t [...]
The Edmonton Oilers staved off elimination in the most convincing possible way in an 8-1 rout of the Florida Panthers in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. Call it the magic of Shania Twain, who rocked the Edmonton crowd before the game. Connor McDavid was finally able to score his first goal of the [...]
Some changes have been made for the June Roto Rankings, particularly in the later rankings and on defense. The stat categories for the Roto Rankings are as follows: Goals, Assists, Special Teams Points, Shots on Goal, Penalty Minutes, Hits, and Blocked Shots. These rankings are different from keeper rankings in that they don’t extend beyond [...]
In case you missed it, the Rangers have signed Kaapo Kakko to a “prove it” one-year, $2.4 million contract. Kakko will still be an RFA (with arbitration rights) after this contract. The former second overall pick (2019) was held to just 19 points – 13 of which were goals – in 61 games in 2023-24. [...]
The DobberHockey writers have made their picks for the Stanley Cup Final. You can check them out here. My personal pick was Edmonton in 6. This was a really difficult pick for me to make. Florida is a nasty team that will give the Oilers everything they can handle, and they’re favored for good reason. [...]
The panel whiffed on both Conference Final picks, with the majority of writers picking the Rangers and Stars. Even the coin toss managed to pick one series winner (Florida) correctly. The Rangers and Stars will be watching the Stanley Cup Final on TV, as the Oilers and Panthers battle it out for the Stanley Cup. [...]
The Florida Panthers will be making a return trip to the Stanley Cup Final, hoping this time they’ll get their hands on the holy grail. Sam Bennett and Vladimir Tarasenko scored for the Panthers in their 2-1 win over the Rangers in Game 6. Bennett finished with four goals in the series, including goals in [...]
The Oilers’ special teams are a major reason that they are now one win away from the Stanley Cup Final. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored two power-play goals to lead the Oilers to a 3-1 win over Dallas in Game 5. Nuge has quietly been effective with 20 points in 17 playoff games. He is known more [...]
