On this day, 20 years ago, I decided that my little webpage I was doing on the side needed to be a little more professional. For several months, ever since before the lockout ended in 2005, I had been posting monthly fantasy rankings – the Top 300 – on this webpage because The Hockey News [...]
This week, we will examine some teams off to fast fantasy starts in the Western Conference and focus on skaters who are off to unsustainable starts in the 2025-26 campaign. These could be targets to sell high or players to be aware of on your rosters who are likely to slow down their production, along [...]
Every NHL season brings with it a special crop of players who come out of nowhere, blow past expectations, redefine their roles, and make fantasy managers flock to the waiver wire in unison. The 2025-2026 campaign has been no exception. From established stars rediscovering their magic to under-the-radar prospects forcing their way up the depth [...]
Before facing Tampa Bay, the Mammoth had scored three or more goals in eight straight games, but that run came to an end with a 4-2 loss to the Lightning. It also marked their first home loss of the season. Ian Cole poste two helpers in the Mammoth loss and he was the main points [...]

I fully realize that we’re not yet even a month into the 2025-26 season, but it’s time for a poll I run every year around this time, asking you to decide who’ll be the three finalists for the Calder Trophy, awarded to the NHL’s top rookie. Here are the key things to keep in mind [...]
If Monday and Wednesday felt quiet, well that’s because Tuesday was the NHL’s Frozen Frenzy, with all 32 teams in action. It was a grind for anyone trying to keep up, especially baseball fans who sat through that marathon Dodgers win, then rolled right into Game Four of the World Series before capping it off [...]
It is crazy to think that some teams have already played a double digit amount of games. So at this stage, this is when “starting off hot” starts turning into a trend and something that seems sustainable for more than just a stretch or some players that have had a good stretch start to cool [...]
Welcome back and happy Frozen Frenzy…which in typical NHL fashion did a C-minus job promoting. If given the choice of slate size I tend to lean closer to smaller slates so a day where every team in the NHL is in action (on the same day as the World Series), is a nightmare. That said, [...]
This week, we are going to look at the rookies in the Western Conference and check out how they are doing. Are they playing well, getting regular minutes, getting power play time or are they in over their heads, playing on the fourth line with under 10 minutes per game? We are only going to [...]
