Last week we kicked off the two-part look back miniseries by reviewing those players who have beaten their early season expectations. This week we will tackle those who have disappointed us and it is certainly an interesting list. To gather the data, I pulled Dobber’s point pace projections from the beginning of the year (available [...]
The last few years have taught us all to be used to seeing shocking news in the NHL on a near-daily basis, but what we saw from Calgary on Thursday pushes the boundaries of what we’re used to seeing in the league: Calgary Flames defenceman Rasmus Andersson was hit by a car while on his [...]
There are a number of significant trade bait candidates for this year’s deadline. We saw Bo Horvat get traded last week to the New York Islanders and that seems to have kicked off trade season. The next big domino to fall is St. Louis winger Vladimir Tarasenko, who is headed to the New York Rangers: [...]
It is Thursday once again, so let’s find some winning NHL props. We have seven games on the NHL schedule for tonight, which should give us more than enough options to find some winning props. I’ve taken my time to carefully look over every matchup tonight, and I think I’ve found a few props that [...]
I’ve enjoyed my all-star break without being sucked into the silliness, whether pro football’s “flag football” game, or Sergei Ovechkin scoring on Igor Shesterkin. (Sergei is draft-eligible in 2036, for dynasty league planning.) And today is the first day since January 28th with even seven games on the schedule - a light night for a [...]
Now that we’ve gotten through the NHL All-Star break, hockey is back and I couldn’t be happier. At this point in the season we start hearing more and more trade rumors surrounding potential rental players, what teams are looking in terms of the direction they’ll approach at the deadline and whether they’re buyers or sellers, [...]
As of Wednesday afternoon, the Florida Panthers were three points out of a playoff spot but had three more gamed played than Pittsburgh, the team in the final Wild Card slot. They were four points behind Washington with the same number of games played. They need a healthy roster if they want to make a [...]
Here’s the latest injury news from across the NHL! If you’re looking for information about a specific player and don’t see their name in this article, there probably haven’t been any significant updates about their progress since our last article. A few teams haven’t been on the ice since the All-Star break began, so we’ll [...]
Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]
Post-All-Star break the rest of the season comes up on us quickly. This isn’t the mid-way point of the year, it’s the two-thirds mark. The trade deadline is less than a month away, and coming up in just another five weeks is the start of the H2H playoffs. Once we get into March, the potential [...]
