The Toronto Maple Leafs play their first game after captain John Tavares suffered a disturbing concussion in their Game 1 loss, and the Florida Panthers try to rally in the Battle of Florida as all-day hockey returns to the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche pushed their opponents […]
Continue readingNo, there’s no reason to suspect a further spiralling of the planet into some Lovecraftian horror. It’s the Seattle Kraken that will wrap their tentacles around players and pull them into the Northwest. The Vegas Golden Knights get to skip this expansion draft, being relatively new to the league themselves. But that also offers a […]
Continue readingThe Toronto Maple Leafs haven’t played since May 14. The Montreal Canadiens haven’t played since May 12. But now that the North Division’s regular season has finally come to an end, it’s finally time for these rivals to hit the ice for Game 1 of their highly anticipated series. Tonight also brings pivotal Game 3s […]
Continue readingThe incredible hockey continued on Day 3 of the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs, including the fourth overtime game of the postseason and the Cup favorite Colorado Avalanche showing how dominant they are.

Continue readingTwo overtime games, and one absolute barnburner in front of a wild crowd in Florida. The road teams went 3-0. No one held more than a one-goal lead.

Connor McDavid‘s proclivity for putting up points will only go so far if the Winnipeg Jets sweep the Edmonton Oilers in four (this won’t happen). Ideally, fantasy competitors want to invest […]
Continue readingThe poor fantasy managers invested in the Calgary Flames can’t be pleased with the remaining schedule. The Flames only have five more games to count for fantasy. The Los Angeles Kings, Canucks, St. Louis Blues and Colorado Avalanche, for example, have 10. Vince Dunn is more appealing than Mark Giordano under these circumstances, and it’s […]
Continue readingPhil Kessel, RW, Arizona Coyotes (51.0%): The Coyotes need Kessel to be at his best if they’re to hold realistic hope of keeping the Blues at bay for the fourth and final playoff spot in the West. Especially with Conor Garland out week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Fortunately, “Phil the Thrill” is usually more effective […]
