We’re down to four matchups for Round 2, and just two games most nights, like tonight. The strategy has to hold but stacking one team to win is crucial. Picking against the grain might be risky, but the reward will only be there for the risk-takers. STACK: No bigger “against the grain” play than the [...]
Before I hit the fantasy recommendations, congratulations to the Colorado Avalanche for their first-round sweep. Dominant (21-9 in goals scored) hardly is a strong enough word.
