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.

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.

A no-goal call will be discussed in Toronto all summer, while Vegas’s Game 5 win places the Oilers on the brink of elimination. Panthers 3, Maple Leafs 2 OT (Panthers win series 4-1) Nick Cousins scored the overtime winner at 15:32 to send the Florida Panthers to the Eastern Conference Final for the first time [...]
After a playoff performance that fell short of expectations, the New York Rangers have decided to move on from Gerard Gallant and search for a new head coach. The Rangers had signaled they were all in by trading for Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrick Kane at the deadline, but instead ended up losing to the rival [...]
Just one game on Friday, and another game coming up today (Saturday). We’re going to have to get used to nights without much hockey for the next little while. Hurricanes 6, Devils 1 (Hurricanes lead series 2-0) Without Andrei Svechnikov, Teuvo Teravainen, and what was supposed to be Max Pacioretty, the Hurricanes just keep on [...]
On May the 4th (be with you), Game 2 of the second round was played in two of the four NHL playoff series. Panthers 3, Maple Leafs 2 (Panthers lead series 2-0) The difference in this game turned out to be Florida scoring the game-tying and eventual game-winning goals within a minute of each [...]
