It’s flu season in the NHL, just as it is at your workplace and your kid's school. For fantasy hockey, that means preparing your rosters for all of the last minute scratches, battling throughs, and gutting it outs that you will inevitably read over the coming weeks. Recently, Vancouver’s Marco Rossi, New Jersey’s Anthony Mantha, [...]
The Ottawa Senators got some good injury news and some bad injury news on Thursday. On a positive note, they welcomed back defenceman Artem Zub, who hadn’t played yet this season due to a knee injury. It also seems like as if defenceman Jake Sanderson is nearing return, as Bruce Garrioch reported that he may [...]

There were some surprising results, particularly when it came to the types of stats that were useful, so to get a foundation on these Ramblings, go read that first. Today, we’ll move [...]
Mike Augello joins the program to discuss the Buffalo Sabres.
Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story.
