After having my first below .500 Saturday (2-4), I had a pretty stellar week going 9-1. I'm looking to take that showing and finish off the week strong! Most of the matchups today are pretty lopsided, so I won't talk too much on the heavy favourites, but let's chat about the Winnipeg/Philadelphia game. While [...]
We are on the precipice of Ryan McDonagh’s debut with the Tampa Bay Lightning. He had been practicing in a non-contact jersey since the trade but was in a regular jersey for Friday’s practice. He didn’t skate in actual pairing, though, so I wouldn’t anticipate plays in the team’s game Saturday afternoon against Montreal. They’re [...]
When one thinks of the more underappreciated franchises in the league today, almost all would tip their cap to the Panthers way down south in Sunrise.

Great timing from Wayne Simmonds to return for the fantasy playoffs. Simmonds’ return pushed Nolan Patrick back onto the second power play unit, and likely off of many fantasy teams. Looking forward, the Flyers play tonight and on Saturday, both densely packed slates where you’re unlikely to slot Patrick in. Even though he notched [...]
Welcome to part two of the “Vegas Baby!” edition of Goldipucks and the Three Skaters! For first time readers, or those who missed last week’s part one, the concept is a play on Goldilocks and the Three Bears, except instead of bowls of porridge I’m covering skaters and declaring one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably [...]
We received an update on Charlie McAvoy’s injury on Tuesday afternoon and it appears he’ll be out at least a month with an MCL sprain. As noted in the link, he’ll be re-evaluated at that point. As far as the regular season is concerned, the Bruins have all but wrapped up a playoff spot and [...]
This week we take a look at how some lesser-known names in great situations can lead you to playoff success. Four Games Remaining With one night of action behind us, the two teams with the most scheduled games between Tuesday March 6th and Sunday March 11th are the Boston Bruins and Chicago [...]
