My favorite play of the season so far has been picking up Petr Mrazek once Curtis McElhinney went down. As you’ve probably read by now my appetite for goalies is not very large. So when a goalie pickup turns into a week winning shutout performance it sure is gratifying. Hopefully those in need of [...]
This week on the Eastern Edge I’m going to follow Chris Kane’s format and look at some of the vizzes from Sean Tierney. As most of you have probably seen, Tierney is leading the charge in awesome NHL visuals. I have used my time at Dobber Hockey trying to teach myself R and have [...]
Entering week nine of the fantasy hockey season and you’re league has probably seen the trade activity pickup. I hit on some trade targets last week and I ran the data again this week, unfortunately not too many changes occurred, which I suppose leaves the window open for most of the guys that were [...]
It’s time to sit down and take a good long look at your fantasy hockey team this week. As Michael Clifford pointed out in last night’s ramblings there will be a lot of talk about buy/sell players and that is exactly what I’m going to load up on this week in the East. Obviously [...]
Andrei Vasilevskiy. Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images The injuries are starting to pile up in the East. Matthews is still out, Bergeron is in an “a lot of pain” and on the shelf, Kuznetsov missed a game, Panarin, Vaseilevskiy, and Crosby is out. Judging by the horrific scenes in Florida [...]
It’s been quite the season for goalies thus far – I suppose you should have headed the notion that goalies do not matter? For those of us who avoided Matt Murray, Tuukka Rask, Carey Price, Cory Schneider, it is wheels up for those poolies! Since this is the sixth week of the season I [...]
Reading Tom Collins article on Top 10 disappointing goalies was fun. I still firmly plant my flag in the goalies don’t matter group so we’ll see if that changes at the year chugs along. I’m benefiting from the otherworldly play of Jaroslav Halak in Boston who continues to thwart off Tuukka Rask’s starts. Two [...]
Most teams have played 10 games as of writing this article. It’s beginning to feel like the season-long trends are beginning. Certainly hot starts will cool and cool starts will become hot (I know revolutionary thought right there!). There are injuries popping up that owners only wish occurred to other teams in their pool. [...]
Still only two full weeks into the Yahoo! Season – I’ve seen some pretty crazy moves made already that will surely not benefit the owner dropping potential 70 points guys. Moral of the story is stay patient and don’t be that poolie! I ran the usual rate stats I’ve covered over the last couple [...]
The fun of a fantasy Sunday night was in full effect. Thanks to a nice Rivalry Week to start the season I needed an assist and PPP to overcome a rather slow start to the season. Ryan Kesler to the rescue! It’s a deep league and Kesler’s faceoff wins are much needed. Now is [...]
