Fantasy hockey is kind of like poker in that bad luck is what you tend to remember, while good fortune you often take for granted. Let’s face facts – right now on most fantasy teams there are as many, if not more, players who are defying expectations in a good way versus bad. At the [...]
Boston continued their hot start and extended their home-win record last night with a win over the Lightning. Taylor Hall scored twice in the game, which was actually a surprise for me to see because he has been down on the third line for the past few games (and is only on the second power [...]
