We are less than two weeks away from Christmas holidays and there’s no shortage of interesting hockey news to talk about. Unfortunately, it seems as though Ben Bishop’s career has come to an end after a tumultuous rehab start in the AHL this week. Thanks to a degenerative knee injury, it seems as though Bishop [...]
According to Stars GM Jim Nill, Ben Bishop won’t be able to play any longer. The veteran goalie was attempting to come back from knee surgery and hadn’t played since August 2020. Bishop recently completed an AHL conditioning assignment, but he gave up eight goals, likely figuring that the knee wouldn’t allow him to compete [...]
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, we’ll continue our retrospective on the 2018 NHL entry draft providing updates on performance since the draft, future outlooks, and pick grades. In case you missed it, check out [...]
Apologies for leaving everyone hanging on the picks front last week. I needed some time on the LTIR to recover both physically and mentally, but I am back in business for our favorite day of the week. I won’t lie or try to hide it: I’ve been pretty cold of late, coming off back-to-back losing [...]
By the time you are reading this, I’ll be en route to Pittsburgh for the Penguins-Ducks game tonight. While I’m not particularly a fan of either team, I’m not going to pass up a chance to spectate and sightsee around the city of Pittsburgh for the weekend. Unfortunately with Jake Guentzel, Bryan Rust, and Evgeni [...]
Sidney Crosby versus Alex Ovechkin matchups never get old, especially since we can still debate which player has had the better career and even which player is better right now. Even with both Crosby and Ovechkin recording two assists each, the Penguins came out on top 4-2. With the two assists, Crosby extended his point [...]
Welcome back to another week of Looking Ahead, where we look ahead to the next week or so of NHL action and where fantasy owners can help or hurt their lineups. We will look at players to add, players possibly worth dropping, and teams that could have some tough schedules. Let’s hop to it. The [...]
Everyone will be happy to hear that since last week’s article was posted about Winnipeg (recommending folks hold on to Winnipeg players) they have put up 16 goals in three games and there are now only three cold streaks listed in their player profiles. The only real cold streak of note is Josh Morrissey. We [...]
It is funny how hockey can work sometimes. It is my belief that the right player slotted into the right spot can really change a team’s fortunes. The reason being is one injury can put one guy in a position he shouldn’t, and then the next guy in a position he shouldn’t, and so on [...]
We have officially entered the dog-days of the hockey season. You know, those middle forty games. The ones that beat up players and teams alike; and leave your injury reserve overflowing. Just ask the Montreal Canadiens (yikes!). With injuries comes the need for replacements. Your ability to claim a good replacement is directly related to [...]
