Fantasy Hockey Poll: Is There Still Hope

By |2026-01-20T21:34:22-05:00January 21st, 2026|Latest|

The general rule is it takes until game 200 for “normal” sized forwards to break out, but game 400 for forwards who are larger or smaller framed to do so.

By |2025-12-30T22:22:35-05:00December 31st, 2025|Roos Lets Loose|

Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]

Fantasy Hockey Poll: Skaters Seeking to Salvage Their Seasons

By |2025-12-23T20:37:00-05:00December 24th, 2025|Roos Lets Loose|

In last month’s poll, the focus was on skaters whose starts to the season were much better than expected. Not surprisingly, this month’s poll looks at the other side of the coin, namely skaters who are underperforming. For each choice, I’ve listed three numbers: (1) their actual scoring pace through December 20th games, (2) their [...]
