One of the more interesting phenomena with the playoffs and fantasy hockey is how the postseason can sometimes artificially boost a player’s fantasy value. A couple of good series by a player, and all of a sudden, a fantasy general manager has to pay more if he is trying to acquire that player. Last year, [...]
Okay, so it’s not my year for calling playoffs. I’m afraid to tally up how I’m doing this year, but figure it’s 3-11 or 4-10 or something like that. Assuming Dallas and Tampa move on. I’ve had a year like that before. And I’ve also had a 13-2 year. Like all of you, I’m generally [...]

After the first round of the playoffs (and maybe even before), the general consensus was that Colorado and Vegas were on a collision course to meet in the Western Conference Final. Now the Dallas Stars are only one win away from shoving both of those teams to the side and earning a ticket to the [...]

After taking a personal week off and being out of the loop a bit, I wanted to check in on our playing scoring races and see how things stand. I found a couple of things that are worth diving into and I wanted to take a moment to do so in this week’s article. This [...]
I saw Ian tweeting yesterday about fantasy baseball and how hard it has been to keep people interested. I’ve found similar things in some (not all) of my leagues, and I wonder if that’s going to be something that translates to the NHL whenever the next season starts. Especially when we’re in the throes of [...]
Picking up from last week, we’re going to cover a few more players who are set to hit the free agent market at the end of the playoffs. This is their last chance to build up their résumé for the bargaining table, and a poor regular season could be completely erased by strong play in [...]
This season isn’t over yet but it’s fair to look ahead to next year. Maybe your favourite team is eliminated; maybe your most-hated team is still in it; maybe you just didn’t have much interest in this Return To Play.
