The regular season was an incredibly wild ride this year, between the number of large-scale injuries that a lot of players faced, the first 82 game season since the COVID-19 pandemic made its appearance, and the super-star production that we got to witness from a wide range of players across the league.

It’s playoff time and I’m taking advantage of these four-game slates while we have them. After the first round, we’re looking at what will most likely be just two-game slates and eventually of course one-game showdowns. I was fortunate enough to start the playoffs on a high note with a $500 third place finish with [...]
The big news from Pittsburgh's dramatic overtime win from Game 1 against New York was the health of goalie Casey DeSmith. He left during the overtime, turning the net over to Louis Domingue, as DeSmith appeared to be injured. We got a little clarity - for what that's worth in the playoffs - on both [...]

We have postseason hockey, and oh is it glorious! Goals galore, heavy hits, everything on the line, and a couple of suspension worthy plays mixed in for good measure. What we’re not used to seeing though is all of the penalties called. We’re seeing a big uptick from the number of calls in the regular [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll look at each team’s fantasy MVP from the second half. Since I released my list of first-half MVPs on January 25th, the ‘second half’ referred to in this article runs from January 25th to May 1st. When I think about value in fantasy hockey, I think about players who [...]
The regular season is behind us, and it’s time to shift focus to playoff picks, and yet still maximize winnings in your DFS each night. Basic strategies first, and keeping with my usual scheme of a team to stack, a player to highlight, and a can’t miss (??) goalkeeper. STACK: It’s offense, baby - and [...]
