Hockey Rambling

The Montreal Canadiens live to fight another day, and that means we aren’t in full offseason mode quite yet. However, game four already covered in yesterday’s Ramblings, and there really isn’t a huge amount of fantasy relevant discussion points to suck out of a Stanley Cup Final series. Josh Anderson is good for now, especially [...]

We had our first real barn-burner of the Stanley Cup Final as the Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens traded goals to get us a 2-2 game and our first overtime. Josh Anderson started the scoring, finishing a beautiful feed from Nick Suzuki, while Pat Maroon tied the game with just over six minutes left [...]

As Dobber polishes up the 15th edition of the Fantasy Prospects Report – it is available for Download this coming Saturday – I’ll be pinch-hitting today. With a rare two-night break from the Stanley Cup Finals, there isn’t much hockey to discuss from Saturday or Sunday. It’s hard to believe that we could be just [...]

Happy Fourth of July to all of our American friends! Here are the top Frozen Tools searches for the past week: https://twitter.com/FrozenTools/status/1410657496642080771 The majority of these players are popular searches because they are involved in the Stanley Cup Final, so you’re probably hearing enough about them from other sources. I’ll discuss the other three, who [...]

The clock is close to striking midnight on the Cinderella Canadiens. The balance of play might not be indicating that the Habs are being dominated, as with a little more luck they could down only 2-1 or maybe even up 2-1. However, Tampa has proven throughout the playoffs that they can win any type of [...]

The Stanley Cup Final might not be over, but that doesn’t have to stop teams from making trades. The first one happened on Friday, as the Kings acquired Viktor Arvidsson from the Predators for a 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 third-round pick. Mike has taken care of the Fantasy Take for this one. The [...]

One of the big stories of the 2021 season was the fact that Jonathan Toews had to take the entire season off for an undisclosed health issue. When something like that happens, it’s clearly something more than just a broken leg or torn rotator cuff. On Wednesday, he provided some clarity on this: https://twitter.com/JonathanToews/status/1410244274986303488 I [...]

It turns out we saw the last Tuesday night game of the 2020-21 season without knowing it, so I have to wait until the fall before commenting on live hockey again. That being said, it’s going to be a busy summer, and there will be no shortage of news. * https://twitter.com/twelcher15/status/1409914240819941380 How’s that for a [...]

A little bit down these Ramblings, we’ll talk about Clayton Keller, his 2021 season, and what he could bring next year. In that discussion is the fact that Arizona has not been a great scoring team for years now, and don’t look like they’ll be a high-scoring team anytime soon. Compounding that problem is they [...]
