Tyler Seguin will miss the rest of the regular season and playoffs because of a torn ACL. Seguin is officially droppable in single-season leagues, while his keeper league value is falling as a 34-year-old Band-Aid Boy. For the Stars, this has implications because they will be able to be active buyers at the trade deadline [...]
Congratulations to Finland for securing the bronze medal on Saturday in a 6-1 win over Slovakia. The Finns were led by Erik Haula, who scored two goals in the game and scored goals in back-to-back games. The Nashville forward finished the Olympics with six points in six games, which was tied for second among all [...]
The men’s Olympic hockey gold medal matchup will consist of the two teams that many hockey fans both expected and wanted. You’ll need to get up early (8 a.m. ET/5 a.m. PT) on Sunday to watch Canada and the United States face off, as the Olympic closing ceremonies are set to run later that day. [...]
The Olympic break has put the NHL on pause, which makes now a great time to re-evaluate the Roto Rankings. However, not many significant changes were made from January. Perhaps because a few days’ worth of games have been lost with the break. Still, a few prominent players have been re-ranked. The stat categories for [...]
The injury update for Kevin Fiala was quick and about what was expected. Fiala underwent surgery on Saturday and will miss the rest of the NHL season on top of the Olympic tournament. The following might explain why Fiala was wheeled off the ice while on his front: https://twitter.com/DobberHockey/status/2022668355908354443 At this point, the Kings might [...]
Men’s Olympic hockey is now well underway with many names that you’re familiar with from fantasy hockey leagues. A 5-1 win for Canada over Switzerland on Friday was overshadowed by what appears to be a serious injury suffered by Kevin Fiala late in the third period. The Swiss forward was carried off on a stretcher [...]
Some injury news to start: Pavel Zacha will not participate in the Olympics for Czechia due to an upper-body injury. Zacha has missed the past two games with the injury. It is not known whether Zacha will be able to return to the Bruins once the NHL season resumes. Filip Chlapik, who plays in the [...]
With the NHL season now on pause, I’ll use this time to take a closer look at the top five Frozen Tools searches from the past week. These are the players that fantasy owners are the most curious about, so I’ll share my two cents on each. https://twitter.com/FrozenTools/status/2019471091127963793 Fraser Minten Minten is off the Frozen [...]
The last Saturday before the Olympic break featured 14 games, so hopefully you were able to find a game or two to watch. Next Saturday will be completely dark for any NHL or Olympic hockey, so you may have to find some other things to do (aside from reading the Ramblings, of course). Adrian Kempe [...]
Friday’s schedule featured only one game while Saturday has 14 games, which is my way of saying tomorrow’s Ramblings will probably be quite a bit longer than today’s. Friday provided a few topics for discussion, though. The only game on the schedule saw the Blue Jackets defeat the Blackhawks in Chicago by a score of [...]
