I believe it was in the middle of the 17th overtime frame in Game 1 of the Bolts - Jackets series that I said whoever won that game would win the series. Well, that prediction is looking clean at this point. On Monday morning, Tampa Bay grabbed a commanding 3-1 series lead over the club [...]

Even though the NHL postseason is underway, fantasy general managers should already be looking ahead to next campaign. While many like to wait until the offseason to see what happens with the draft, free agency and trades, it might be better to target certain players now. After all, some players will be cheaper now than [...]
The Caps, recent Stanley Cup Champions, are trying to find an answer to the lockdown team play preached by Washington’s former coach Barry Trotz. Trotz has the Islanders humming, scoring about three-and-a-half goals per game while giving up a stingy sub-two-goals per game. In the playoffs, the Isles lead the NHL in goal differential with [...]

This announcement came just hours before the Bruins were set to face Carolina in Game 3. From a human standpoint, I completely understand this decision. Rask has a newborn at home as well as two other [...]
It was a big week in the prospect world. Just two months removed from the initial draft date itself, the league finally put the ping pong balls to action and finalized the order for the 2020 NHL Draft Lottery, or as some refer to it, the Alexis Lafreniere sweepstakes. After a few shocking upsets in [...]
Let’s jump right into the five games that were played on Friday. Colorado 3, Arizona 2 (Colorado leads series 2-0) The Coyotes played a better game in Game 2 than they did in Game 1. In fact, the shots were actually in Arizona’s favor 32-28 after they were outshot 40-14 in Game 1. However, a [...]
We have successfully made it to the end of another week. We have had our first casualties of Bubble Hockey, and thankfully it was all the teams losing kind. We saw eight teams bow out, or rather play themselves out of the playoffs. This week I wanted to take a quick look at how players [...]
