One bit of NHL news that came out Monday was that the Winnipeg Jets would not be bringing back the interim coaching staff that took over for Paul Maurice. At least, they weren’t extended immediately. Dave Lowry will be part of the coaching search, but my guess is if they wanted him to be the [...]
Resting players is a tried and true tradition across any sport where teams have their postseason trip locked. That held true on Wednesday night as the Rangers sat Artemi Panarin, Andrew Copp, and a slew of other regulars on the second night of a back-to-back. The Florida Panthers called up a handful of players on [...]
There has been a lot of reports and rumouring around the health of Robin Lehner for several days now, and the team finally acknowledged what was first reported by Emily Kaplan at ESPN: he is going to be having some surgery and is done for the season: https://twitter.com/JesseGranger_/status/1518703600926568448 It does seem as if Vegas’s season [...]
My Ramblings this week have been a look back at some preseason predictions and how they fared. We had an overview of a handful of players on Tuesday and we looked at players I flat-out missed on yesterday. We are going to finish the week on a positive note and self-congratulation: players that proved me [...]
In my Ramblings on Tuesday, I talked about some predictions I made before the season and whether they panned out or flamed out. I want to go into this a bit deeper, looking into my methodology and the players we really, really missed on. For season-long rankings, I use something called Standings Gained Points (SGP). [...]
We’ve nearly reached the end of both the fantasy and regular seasons. Most teams have somewhere around 5-7 games left, the East is completely wrapped, and at least half the West (if not more, depending on how we view Edmonton’s lead) is wrapped up as well. For anyone that is still in need of some [...]
There are always some players that every person in the fantasy game has trouble giving up on. They are players that, for one reason or another, capture our attention and it’s tough to let it slip. It has surely happened to me, for better and worse. I had a lot of faith in both Tage [...]
This past week have seen a lot of big-name prospect signings as all of Kent Johnson, Matty Beniers, and Owen Power signed following the end of Michigan’s season. It seems as if all three could make their debuts this week for Columbus, Seattle, and Buffalo, respectively. They are all prospects that we are high on [...]
It has been a very turbulent season on the ice for Carolina forward Martin Necas. It looked like as if he was busting out in a big way recently with a six-points-in-four-games stretch, but that was over a week ago, and that’s a lifetime at this stage of the NHL season. He found himself on [...]
There was some very good news for Jason Zucker and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday. The former Wild winger was injured in his first game back at the end of March, just an absolutely brutal return for a guy who has his fair share of nicks and scratches these last two years. The good news [...]
