Eastern Edge: Over- and Under-Performing Fantasy Players
It’s time to sit down and take a good long look at your fantasy hockey team this week. As Michael Clifford pointed out in last night’s ramblings there will be a lot of talk about buy/sell players and that is exactly what I’m going to load up on this week in the East. Obviously [...]

Ramblings: Hextall Fired; Kuznetsov Update; Contracts; Game Recaps – November 27

Ramblings: Bean/Zykov Recalled; Turris Injury; Palat Update; Early Peripherals – November 26
There was a welcome sight at Tampa’s gameday skate as Ondrej Palat joined the team. While he didn’t play in the game, it appears it’ll be just a matter of days before he returns. The real question is what they do to the lineup. Going into Sunday’s game, the Lightning had scored four of [...]
