There’s nothing like an elimination game in the Stanley Cup playoffs and Friday will offer three contests where teams will have to win or go home. That also means the spotlight will be on a number of players to deliver clutch performances to keep their seasons alive, or advance to the next round. Here are [...]
The NHL playoffs are truly a magical time for us all to experience, but there is a life after the playoffs conclude. The focus shifts from watching the players play, to watching where they end up getting traded to, who they want to play with, and ultimately where they will be playing next season. That [...]
The hockey gods blessed us with one last four-game slate before the playoff schedule is whittled down to three games or less per day. Let’s try and take advantage and go out on a high note. All prices are from DraftKings but can be applied to any site. If you want to give the Dobber [...]
Surprised to see me again? Welcome everyone to my new playoff special segment, the long awaited (but not really since they were only announced four days ago) Wednesdays picks by Vlad! Playoff hockey is an important enough part of the year to deserve itself a special treatment like that, so I’m excited for even more [...]
It was a rough first year for the NHL's 32nd team. Now that the dust is settled, Victor and Jesse bring in Adam Kierszenblat of The Hockey Writers to figure out what is right and wrong in the US Pacific Northwest.

Last week we discussed second-half MVPs and what that could mean for next season as well. Brendan Gallagher After scoring at a 30-goal [...]
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. And my Nathan MacKinnon play from last week (goals in all 4 games) was spot-on.But their next series will be an all-out war, and no promises that the Avs [...]
There wasn't supposed to be a show scheduled for today but in the mid-afternoon we figured what the heck! Elan and Brian get on the horn to discuss some upcoming plans for the Keeping Karlsson Ultimate Patron Fantasy League and share some thoughts on what's been going on in the NHL playoffs half-way through round 1. Then Brian shares some takeaways from his listening to the first two beatwriters interviews with Brian Hedger and Murat Ates about the Columbus Blue Jackets and Winnipeg Jets.
During the playoffs and off-season, I plan to focus on each team in the West and look at their current roster, prospects, cap space, draft picks and impending free agents. I intend to dig a little deeper into the organization to see if the team is on the rise, fall or treading water heading into [...]
