Let me just start off by saying playoff hockey is freaking awesome. This season’s playoffs hit the ground running with five of the eight first round matchups going the distance to seven games. While we still have two series to be decided today before moving onto the next round, I figured I could go over [...]
With the playoffs underway, expect only minor tweaks to the Roto Rankings for the next month or two. That being said, we still rely on your feedback. Are there any players that you believe are ranked too high or too low? Did we miss anyone in the top 100, or is there a player there [...]
In a day jam-packed with Game 7s, Carolina, Tampa Bay, and Edmonton all advanced while Boston, Toronto, and Los Angeles will all hit the golf course. Let’s run down the three games that were played. Hurricanes 3, Bruins 2 (Hurricanes win series 4-3) After being acquired from the Blue Jackets, Max Domi scored two goals [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we follow hockey prospects and their paths to the NHL, providing fantasy predictions and analysis along the way. This week, as the first round concludes with an astounding five Game 7s, we'll highlight a few more rookies who are playing key roles with their teams so far in the [...]
I went four for six picks last Wednesday, which was a solid day if you ask me. I was one Alex Ovechkin goal and one decent performance by the Stars forwards away to get the sweep. I plan on accomplishing that feat at least twice during the remainder of these playoffs, and what better day [...]

The three Game 7s today/tonight might be the most fun you’ll have as a hockey fan all season. The exception, of course, might be if you are a fan of one of the six teams involved, where instead you will be on pins and needles all day. On Friday, you had to settle for three [...]
Last week we made an imperfect attempt to find the league’s most valuable center. Not every league is the same size, or uses the same settings, but we were able to highlight several notable performances. This week we are going to continue our series and look at right wingers. This week on Frozen Tool Forensics: [...]
There’s nothing like an elimination game in the Stanley Cup playoffs and Friday will offer three contests where teams will have to win or go home. That also means the spotlight will be on a number of players to deliver clutch performances to keep their seasons alive, or advance to the next round. Here are [...]
