Before the Vegas expansion draft, teams were lining up to trade with the Golden Knights to ensure that certain players that could not be protected would not be selected. Since that idea ultimately benefitted Vegas more than teams like Minnesota and Florida, both the Wild and Panthers have opted for a different strategy to handle [...]

Happy Fourth of July to all of our American friends! Here are the top Frozen Tools searches for the past week: https://twitter.com/FrozenTools/status/1410657496642080771 The majority of these players are popular searches because they are involved in the Stanley Cup Final, so you’re probably hearing enough about them from other sources.

By |2021-07-03T01:18:44-04:00July 3rd, 2021|Hockey Rambling|

The clock is close to striking midnight on the Cinderella Canadiens. The balance of play might not be indicating that the Habs are being dominated, as with a little more luck they could down only 2-1 or maybe even up 2-1. However, Tampa has proven throughout the playoffs that they can win any type of [...]

The first one happened on Friday, as the Kings acquired Viktor Arvidsson from the Predators for a 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 third-round pick. Mike has taken care of the Fantasy Take for this one. The [...]

The Stanley Cup Final is upon us. But before we dive into the predictions, let’s recap the semifinals. As you might guess, the panel correctly selected Tampa Bay but missed out on Montreal (as many have throughout the playoffs). Tom Collins was the only one of the 16 writers who dared to pick the Canadiens [...]

Ramblings: Bolts Face Habs for the Cup, Caufield’s Value, Vegas Falls Short (June 26)

By |2021-06-26T00:19:38-04:00June 26th, 2021|Hockey Rambling|

There was only one goal scored in Game 7 between the Islanders and Lightning, but those types of games turn out to be nailbiters instead of snoozefests when there’s so much on the line. In the end, Andrei Vasilevskiy didn’t make any mistakes, making 18 saves in the 1-0 shutout win for Tampa Bay. Vasilevskiy [...]
