The puck is about to drop on the Stanley Cup Playoffs! As is the case every season, the panel is weighing in with predictions for each of the eight playoff series, the Stanley Cup finalists and winner, and Conn Smythe Trophy winner. The panel will also return for more predictions at the start of every [...]
To little surprise, the Columbus Blue Jackets have decided to part ways with coach Brad Larsen. Even though Larsen didn’t seem likely to last the offseason, I’m not sure anyone could have coached that team to a playoff spot, given the sheer volume of injuries they faced this season. As I mentioned yesterday, the Blue [...]
The 2022-23 regular season has just finished at the time that these rankings are published. 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 based on player transactions and further research on player values. Keep in mind [...]
The NHL’s regular season came to a close on Friday with two games that had been postponed earlier in the season. These two games provided the few fantasy teams still competing for something with one last opportunity to pull out a win. If you fall into this category, you were probably breaking these games down [...]
Happy Easter everyone! For the first time in history, 16 NHL games were played on a single day. That meant with all 32 teams playing, you had zero empty slots (aside from injuries or healthy scratches) on Saturday, forcing you to start your best lineup and make some tough start/sit decisions. Hopefully it all worked [...]
With no games on Friday, the focus of today’s Ramblings will be on Thursday’s later games, so expect the bulk of the coverage to be on Western Conference teams. For Thursday’s earlier games, see yesterday’s Ramblings. - In just their second NHL season, the Seattle Kraken will be one of 16 teams competing for the [...]
With Thursday featuring 14 games in total and Friday showing none, I’ll split coverage of Thursday’s games over both today’s and tomorrow’s Ramblings. The focus of today’s Ramblings will be on the early games (those with 7 pm ET/4 pm PT starts), so consider today’s article to be mainly about Eastern Conference teams, if you [...]
If you are lucky enough to be playing in a fantasy hockey championship battle next week, you should keep in mind that Nashville is one of five teams to play four games. Two Predators players stood out in Saturday’s matinee game, a 6-1 win for Nashville over St. Louis. Both of these players might be [...]
On April Fool’s Day, I promise you facts and even a few opinions and hopefully no tricks. Devon Levi’s debut with the Sabres was a success. In his first NHL game, Levi stopped 31 of 33 shots in picking up a 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers. As I’ve mentioned earlier, the Sabres have a [...]
Thursday was opening day for major league baseball (nice win for the Blue Jays!), so I won’t blame you if you took your eye off the puck for a moment or all day. On the other hand, if you're like me, you haven't paid as much attention to the start of the fantasy baseball season [...]
