The Anaheim Ducks hired Joel Quenneville to be their next coach after firing Greg Cronin last month at the end of the regular season. I wrote about that hiring here. * Connor McMichael intercepted a puck in the neutral zone, sped past the Carolina defenders, and scored on Frederik Andersen to give the Washington Capitals [...]
When the Anaheim Ducks fired head coach Greg Cronin after the conclusion of the 2024-25 NHL regular season, there were instantly rumours that this would be a landing spot for Joel Quenneville. There had been rumours that Quenneville was in the running for any number of coaching positions, as has been the case since his [...]
Welcome back to another edition of Analytics Advantage. With the first round of the playoffs in the rearview, I wanted to dig into how goaltending impacted who moved on and who packed up early. This week’s visuals are updated with data through May 5th (end of the first round) and include a few new features [...]
We can stop calling the Utah franchise whatever we were calling them before (it was never Hockey Club in my book), as the team announced on Wednesday that the franchise is officially named the Mammoth. Overall, not a bad choice. The name is kind of fun and the logo looks good. That logo does kind [...]
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening everyone. Welcome to the Injury Ward. My name is Logan Clarkson and every Wednesday I will be chauffeuring you through injury news and updates from around the NHL. I’ll do my best to offer useful analysis and opinion as it relates to fantasy throughout. As always, I'd like to [...]
With the 2024-25 season not yet even in the books, it may seem strange to run a poll that is focused on 2025-26; but I figured that many readers don’t participate in playoff pools, so the forward-looking content would be appreciated. Plus, how the upcoming UFA class will perform versus expectations is among the most [...]
Frederik Andersen had the best GSAA numbers in round one (a cumulative stat noting how many goals above average a goalie stopped), despite playing only 3.5 games. He made his return for game two last night, and only allowed one across just over three periods last night in the overtime in Washington. He could be [...]
Today we will continue our series addressing some of the biggest questions facing each Eastern Conference team this offseason. This column will mark the halfway point of the conference, completing eight of the sixteen teams in alphabetical order – and funnily enough, it will also be the eight teams who missed the playoffs. We’ll dive [...]
The NHL Draft Lottery took place on Monday night, and in a huge move up the board, the New York Islanders ended up winning the first overall pick. So, the team that currently does not have a general manager now has the first overall pick in the Draft. I wonder how much this changes the [...]
The panel was correct on six out of the eight playoff series in Round 1, only missing on perhaps the two toughest series of the first round. Florida and Dallas were the two teams that won despite being picked by the minority of writers, but they may have been picked by the majority with different [...]
