Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. *** Something that caught my eye recently was league equivalency work being developed by EP Rinkside’s Chace McCallum. He posted the following chart, which shows the top 20 highest league-adjusted scoring [...]
A little extra time on my hands over the All-Star break and with this week's slow start, this is probably a dangerous thing for a part-time hockey writer. I’ve taken to look at one of my favorite topics: fantasy defensemen. Dobber came out with his monthly ranking of keeper/dynasty D-men. I’d point out that his [...]

Welcome back from the All-Star Break everyone! This week always feels a little strange for fantasy hockey as the schedule is usually much lighter meaning some matchups may be lobsidded one way or another. If you’re one of those out there that can’t fill out much of a roster this week trust me, you’re not [...]

The role of goaltenders in hockey is undeniably crucial, influencing the outcome of games and seasons. While traditional statistics like Save Percentage (SV%) and Goals Against Average (GAA) have dominated performance evaluations, they fall short of capturing the full spectrum of a goalie's impact. This article pivots to advanced analytics, particularly High-Danger Save Percentage (HDSV%) [...]
Welcome back my CapFriendlies! Sing it with me everyone, “It’s the mooost wonderful tiiime of the yeeaar!” We’re around a month away from the NHL trade deadline which means that the NHL trade machine Picasso (or da Vinci maybe), is ready to throw fake trades out there. Some may stick to the wall, some may [...]
Welcome to the newest edition of the Injury Ward. Here you will find the latest NHL injury updates and also which players may benefit from these situations. My name is Blake Creamer and I will be tackling this topic every single week. I want this article to work for you, so if there are players [...]
Lewis and Shams are here to help you get ready to exit out of the All Star break. They go through all the injury information that coaches were willing to speak about and break down their fantasy impact. The show closes with new interesting line combinations coming out of the break that you should keep your eye on for fantasy.
Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. 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 [...]
