Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice

I’m looking at an 11-game smörgåsbord menu - pick what you like - and there aren’t really any matchups that seem badly unbalanced.  Should be a fun night to watch scores (although I’ll do so from within the PPG arena in Pittsburgh).   I’m going to go with the Pennsylvania teams, absolutely a first for me, [...]

So, I’ll think through the daily fantasy reasoning first today. There are many ways to look at tonight’s 13-game slate. We can look at home teams playing against weaker defense and goaltending (Flyers v. Hawks, Blue Jackets v. Ducks, Golden Knights v. Red Wings) or maybe good teams hosting back-to-back squads playing on the road [...]

The Winter Classic was indeed a good and truly “classic” and entertaining game, unless you’re a Penguins fan. The Pens are now 1-4-2 in their last 7 games, and the team that was 18-8-4 as of December 15th is now struggling to hold onto the second wild card spot in the East.  Sidney Crosby and [...]

First, to continue my series of “What’s Wrong With…,” today’s focus is on the Florida Panthers.   Last year’s Presidents’ Trophy winners are struggling to even stay relevant at this point, currently nine points out of a playoff spot and 12th in the Eastern Conference - as Matthew Tkachuk aptly put it, “the playoffs start now.” [...]
