Every year, some players don’t perform to expectations. It’s just the nature of sport; sometimes players will exceed their talent levels, and some will underperform them. It’s not a straight shot for everyone with regards to explanations, though. It’s not as if we can just point to a number and exclaim that is the [...]
With nothing left to do but reflect on a season that maybe was, I thought I would look back at my bounce back candidates from the start of the year and see what I was smoking. I had written a three part column here, here and here. I’ve put in Italics what I thought, back [...]
It's Game Night on the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast! Elan has created a brand new rotisserie fantasy game where every owner drafts a team to compete against one another, but with a catch: instead of drafting for the stats that you think a player is going to put up, you're drafting them for the stats they've already [...]
Last week, I took a shot at naming the top 10 disappointing players of 2019-20. As I mentioned at the time, it was a much more difficult task than normal, as my original list had 55 names. To make sure I could include more players, I decided to break it down into two groupings. Last [...]

Some news to begin: A second unnamed Colorado Avalanche player has tested positive for COVID-19. For more, see the statement from the team’s website. Hoping for all the best. Taylor Hall and the Arizona Coyotes have been discussing a new contract during the pause (NHL.com). * Yesterday I discussed the primary assists per goal leaders [...]
Welcome back for another edition of The Journey. A lot has happened in the hockey world since my last post. Many leagues have officially closed the door on their respective leagues, resulting in an unfortunate end to their 2019-20 seasons and postseason. This list includes the CHL, meaning there will be no winner etched onto [...]
Hello, I hope you’re doing well and laying low at this time. A special shout out to all the health-care workers working the frontlines of this pandemic, plus anyone else who is working extra hard during this time.
