This is a big offseason for the Carolina Hurricanes for a number of reasons. First up is just the magnitude of their UFAs/RFAs. They have all three goalies up for contracts – Mrazek and Reimer as UFA and Nedeljkovic as RFA – Jake Bean as an RFA, Andrei Svechnikov as an RFA, as well as [...]
Vegas and Colorado went back and forth in Game 6 like Forrest Griffin and Stephen Bonner in the UFC cage all those years ago, but unlike that fight, this game had a decisive winner as the Golden Knights took a 6-3 win, and 4-2 series victory. Philipp Grubauer had a rough start to the game [...]
With John Tortorella gone, the Blue Jackets had been on the search for their next head coach for about a month now. The team didn’t have to go very far as they simply promoted assistant coach Brad Larsen to head-coaching duties. This kind of seemed fast as maybe there’d be more coaches available in a [...]
Taking a step back from the playoffs for a second, the ongoing Jack Eichel saga is one of great interest. Not only is it only for the regular hockey fans, but the fantasy hockey fans are already putting together dream packages to get Eichel to their preferred destination for their dynasty teams. Admit it. I [...]
I wanted to talk about the Colorado Avalanche a bit, because their recent stretch of three games is one we have not seen from them in recent memory and certainly no time in the 2021 regular season. They have been getting absolutely ran out of the building almost every night and despite blowing the doors [...]
I have always found the Ted Lindsay award somewhat interesting. Appealing to authority is something that we should avoid doing as much as possible, but it’s still interesting to find out who the players thought were the three most valuable among them. This year, we have two names that are very obvious and one that [...]
Craig Smith was out for Game 2 between Boston and New York while Jake DeBrusk was on the second line. It is a reminder that while DeBrusk had a bad year, he has had good years before and was Boston’s staple on the second line with David Krejci. Do not give up on him just [...]
When the injury to John Tavares came, I honestly feared the absolute worst. It was one of the most gruesome headshots I have ever seen a player take in the NHL, and I’m old enough to remember Paul Kariya getting cross-checked in the face by Gary Suter. That is why this clip of Tavares skating [...]
In thinking about the Florida Panthers, one thing came to mind: if you were Florida’s GM, what would you pay to get rid of Bobrovsky’s contract? This is a good exercise because it’s helpful in dynasty cap leagues as well. We have all been stuck with contracts we don’t want and had to devise a [...]
Ondrej Kase has been shut down for the year by the Boston Bruins. Remember that he was injured very early in Boston’s regular season, missed four months, returned for a few shifts for a game a couple weeks ago, was injured again, and is now done for the year. In total, going back to 2018-19, [...]
