Versteeg scratched, Yakupov sizzles, the pending return of Hall and more... * Quite the defensive battle in New York last night as the Rangers and Blackhawks skated to a tight 1-0 conclusion with the Blackhawks prevailing. That’s textbook post-Kane injury Blackhawks for you. Just stifling but also opportunistic like they were on the [...]
Looking at the potential fantasy hockey implications of 3-on-3 overtime.
Carlson vs. Green, Parenteau back in the lineup, a deep look at the Oilers' power play and more... * Happy St. Paddy's Day! * James Mirtle looks at the inevitability of expansion into Las Vegas. I think it’s exciting. I do have my concerns about diluting a product that one could [...]
Doug Wilson puts his foot in his mouth, the Oilers' power play clicking and more... * The Hamburglar strikes again. I’m on record several times indicating that the Senators should keep riding this dude until his mojo runs out. I’m generally an analytical dude but I know what it’s like to get into [...]
The top defenseman scorers, the most reliable goalies in 2015 and more... * EEEEEK! For the second month in a row we have a Friday the 13th. Last time around both Shawn Matthias and Joe Pavelski scored hat-tricks, so expect some weirdness tonight. * Remember when Erik Karlsson vs. Kris Letang [...]
Kadri's suspension, Russell and the Flames sizzle, the latest Luongo news and more... * Real interesting contrast between how the Leafs are handling their discipline with Nazem Kadri and how the Stars are doing it with Cody Eakin. Both have been suspended for multiple games by their respective teams but only one had [...]
Okposo and Luongo to return, Zetterberg is hot, Grigorenko's a bust and more... * You’ve got to love the complete lack of shame shown by Rogers. They are pimping the Leafs-Sabres game they have televised on Wednesday night like it’s the damn Super Bowl. “It’s not about playoffs. It’s about pride.” [...]
Mining the Senators, replacing Byfuglien, Okposo to return and more... * Had a couple of complaints about a lack of recapping all the games these past couple of days. I get it but that’s not necessarily what these ramblings are about. My expectation is that you’ve already looked at the box scores from [...]
Kris Russell eclipses the Bruins, Ovechkin sits out, Soderberg rumours and more... * Ovechkin missed last night’s contest against the Wild with lower-body soreness. I’m not too concerned. Frankly, the dude should probably take a few games off each season because of the visceral nature of his game. I was kind of [...]
Byfuglien injured, Hammond wins again, Nyquist cold and buried, and more... * Craig Anderson was supposed to go for the Senators last night but pulled himself before making the start. He did still dress for the game and presumably could have gone if absolutely necessary but I do wonder if riding Andrew Hammond [...]
