You could feel it in the air. Connor McDavid would hit 100 points on Saturday, even though he still needed four points to get there. He flew off the blocks by scoring a goal in the opening minute. 97, to match his jersey number. Nearly seven minutes into the second period, he assisted on Jesse [...]
The main beneficiary of Alex Ovechkin’s absence from the lineup (now nearly two weeks) has been Daniel Sprong. With another goal on Friday, Sprong now has six goals in his last six games. Currently he’s on what should be considered the Capitals’ top scoring line with Nicklas Backstrom and Anthony Mantha. Sprong is still only [...]
So… quite the Capitals-Rangers game on Wednesday night. Next season’s rematch should be highly anticipated. Whether you liked it or not, it undoubtedly grabbed your attention. No surprise that the Rangers were fined $250,000 for their statement regarding Tom Wilson and George Parros. As much as publicly calling for someone to be fired from their [...]
Just call it Super Saturday, where all of the NHL’s active 31 teams except Winnipeg were in action. It was the kind of day where Craig Smith was way more valuable to fantasy owners than David Pastrnak. Many fantasy owners (such as myself) made the decision to drop Smith after he had gone five games [...]
Now that it’s crunch time in many fantasy leagues, we’re discussing the schedule more and more. Friday’s schedule featured just four games, which depending on the players you own may or may not be the best day to try to make up ground. My two teams still in head-to-head playoffs featured three or four active [...]
At the start of the season, we didn’t really know what to make of Yegor Sharangovich. A fifth-round pick in 2018, he didn’t seem to be on the radar for Devils prospects ready to take the next step. Not only did he break through to the Devils’ roster, but he is now also fourth in [...]
Hey there. If you were looking forward to reading the Monday Ramblings written by Dobber himself, sorry, you’re stuck with me for one more day. I look forward to reading his Ramblings just as much as you do, so I’ll try to fill the space with something worth your time here. If you need to [...]
In the early game, Bryan Rust’s 20th goal of the season helped the Penguins to a 4-2 win over New Jersey. Rust now has goals in three consecutive games with five points over that span. And now back-to-back 20-goal seasons. Cody Ceci, who assisted on Rust’s goal, now has 11 points (2 G, 9 A) [...]
The Calgary Flames cancelled their morning skate due to a positive COVID test, resulting in concerns that their game with Montreal would be cancelled. Fortunately, this did not affect Friday’s game, as only Josh Leivo was moved to the COVID protocol list. In a game with North Division playoff implications, the Flames came out on [...]
If you needed points, there were lots of them in the early games. Pavel Buchnevich picked the perfect way to celebrate his birthday – with a hat trick. The three goals give Buchnevich 40 points in 43 games, which is easily the best points-per-game total of his career. Over a full season, that would put [...]
