The Fantasy Hockey Prospects Report was released on Thursday. Make sure you have your copy so that you can answer your own burning questions, such as what is Connor Bedard’s upside or where Luke Hughes is ranked among prospect defensemen. Both are actual questions that I had, since I’m thrilled to say that I will [...]
The Stanley Cup Final starts on Saturday. One finalist was the top seed in its conference. The other finalist is an 8-seed giant killer that has knocked off three of the top four teams (by points) in its conference. Easy pick for the panel to make, right? Well, you’ll soon find out. The writers didn’t [...]
After another sweep seemed inevitable following a disastrous Game 3 for Dallas, the Western Conference Final has slowly but surely become a whole lot more interesting. Stars 4, Golden Knights 2 (Golden Knights lead series 3-2) Ty Dellandrea’s two third-period goals within 1:27 of each other were the difference in this game, where the [...]
The Eastern Conference Final had its moments, but for the sake of competition I hope the Stanley Cup Final requires more games to complete. Despite being swept, the Hurricanes deserved a better fate, since they lost all four games by one goal and two in overtime. In fact, the shot total over the four games [...]
Hockey games – especially playoff games – are notorious for not playing out the way we think they will. After the marathon four overtime (nearly five overtime) game, the thinking was that the goalies would be tired and that you’d need to load up on scoring for Game 2 daily fantasy and game props. Not [...]
Game 1 of the Western Conference Final also needed overtime to be decided, although it didn’t take nearly as long as Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final. Golden Knights 4, Stars 3 OT (Golden Knights lead series 1-0) Brett Howden scored just 1:35 into the first overtime period to secure a Game 1 victory [...]
Only one game was officially on the schedule on Thursday, but if you stayed up late enough you got to watch the equivalent of over two games. Yes, it was the longest game of the season and the sixth-longest game in NHL history. https://twitter.com/StatsCentre/status/1659442425360945153 https://twitter.com/JayGold85/status/1659435773702152192 Panthers 3, Hurricanes 2, 4 OT (Panthers lead series 1-0) [...]
The second-round projections didn’t quite go as planned for the panel, as they picked only one correct series winner (Dallas). None of the individual writers picked all four series correctly either. Perhaps the teams remaining in the final four haven’t received the respect that they deserve. That’s why it shouldn’t be that much of a [...]
The playoffs are still ongoing, so there aren’t a ton of changes from last month’s rankings. More significant changes will be made once offseason transactions have taken place. If you’re already looking ahead to next season, these rankings could be considered very preliminary rankings for the 2023-24 season and will be adjusted throughout the offseason [...]
The surprise Seattle Kraken will play another Game 7 on the road – this one on Monday in Dallas. Kraken 6, Stars 3 (series tied 3-3) Want to know how balanced the Seattle scoring is? Eeli Tolvanen and Jordan Eberle are the first players in Kraken history to record three points in a playoff [...]
