My playoff picks took a big hit in the last round, going 0-4, which lumps me in with the Florida Panthers’ playoff power play, and the Leafs in closing games of a playoff series. Good thing for me, is there is a quicker path to redemption here as I get another shot with the third [...]
Odds via bet365 on May 31st, 2022 @ 1:00 PM The Stanley Cup Playoffs present some the most unexpected moments in all of sports – making betting on the games a much more difficult task than the regular season. But since the second round is over and you now have a pulse on the quality [...]
This week’s Eastern Edge is the second part of a series we started last week, looking at how players performed in new surroundings this season. Throughout this series, we’ll discuss players that joined new teams ahead of the 2021-2022 regular season, as well as those that were traded during the year. It’s timely that this [...]
As I write this (Monday evening), the playoff picture is being whittled down to 4 teams. The Western Conference final is set, now apparently called the McSeries or the McMatchup. Only one game per night makes the daily fantasy bettor choose a very limited lineup - on DraftKings this means a “Showdown” setting where one [...]
After being accurate on six of the eight first-round playoff series, the panel did not fare as well in the second round. Colorado was the only winner picked correctly, with favorites Florida, Carolina, and Calgary all now eliminated. At least the panel was also right on the length of the Colorado – St. Louis series [...]
The story of Game 7 between Carolina and New York was as it had been for much of the Rangers’ season: the power play and Igor Shesterkin. There were four power plays in the first period, two for each team, but the Rangers went 2/2 where the Hurricanes went 0/2, and Igor shut the door [...]
Who will the last team to punch their ticket to the Conference Finals be? Will it be the New York Rangers or the Carolina Hurricanes? We already know that the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche will meet in the West. The Tampa Bay Lightning are one-half of the Eastern Conference Final, but they’ve had to [...]
Dallas had a good season after missing the playoffs in 2020-21, by winning 46 games in 2021-22 and finishing with 98 points. They lost in the first round to the Calgary Flames in a hard-fought seven games, with the deciding game going to overtime. They will be challenged to repeat that next season as they [...]
The life of a fantasy hockey general manager is never easy. All your planning and research go right down the drain as soon as the puck drops on the first game of the season. Some players go into slumps right away and never shake out of it. Because of their history, you may be hesitant [...]
Hard at work on the Fantasy Prospects Report, which will come out the afternoon of June 14. It is the 16th edition and has been an invaluable resource for keeper and dynasty leaguers. You can pre-order it here. So far, I’m really impressed with the fantasy-worthy prospects that have been filtering into the Dallas system. [...]
