The panel whiffed on both Conference Final picks, with the majority of writers picking the Rangers and Stars. Even the coin toss managed to pick one series winner (Florida) correctly. The Rangers and Stars will be watching the Stanley Cup Final on TV, as the Oilers and Panthers battle it out for the Stanley Cup. [...]
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 [...]
Ian Gooding should have our team’s Expert Picks out at some point today. My pick is Edmonton in seven. I think there will be a few games where each team takes over, with the Oil’s stars overwhelming Sergei Bobrovsky more often than not in the series. Home ice “advantage” and the Oilers’ historic penalty kill [...]
At this time of year, who doesn’t love an X-factor?Aside from it being up there in the realm of elite postseason-related jargon along with stranglehold, barnburner, and on-the-brink, it’s a term that regularly gets circulated during playoff competition due to the tendency of unsung heroes to make their mark when the lights are brightest.

I believe this is the first time in 19 years that the monthly rankings were missed. ** Pick up the 18th annual Fantasy Prospects Report, [...]
The stage is set and the stars are all in place - no, unfortunately for Dallas fans not those ones. All bad jokes aside, the better team is moving on to the Stanley Cup Final as the Edmonton Oilers took care of business on Sunday night while punching their ticket to the big dance for [...]
This week, we will look at each team in the Western Conference and see who had the fastest top speeds during the 2023-24 regular season. I will also look at what players hit 20 miles per hour the most per game. These stats are available at Dobber’s Frozen Tools here. In looking at the NHL [...]
Stuart Skinner and the Oilers’ power play carried the team to a series-clinching 2-1 victory over Dallas on Sunday. Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard factored in on both of Edmonton’s goals while Zach Hyman and Leon Draisaitl posted a point apiece. I guess you could say Edmonton’s stars outplayed the Dallas Stars - although that [...]
