Fantasy hockey rankings Week 5 update: Hold onto Jordan Staal and Bryan Rust
If we take a player’s fantasy points per game (FPPG) and multiply it by the number of games they have left, that’s how much fantasy value they have remaining — again, assuming a static pace forward (which we know isn’t the case). Join or create a league in the No. 1 Fantasy Hockey game, and […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings Week 4 update: Right time to drop slumping starters?
We have a larger-than-usual batch of new faces to the rankings this week, with 22 players shuffled in and 22 shuffled out. Why? With close to a quarter of the season on the books, it feels like a good chance to do some “spring cleaning” of the ranks. There are more than a few dust […]
Continue readingUpdated fantasy hockey rankings: What’s changed from last season?
We last checked in with a rankings update in June, when the NHL was very much in limbo. Since then, we’ve had an extended playoffs, a draft, a long delay, and the start of a very different NHL season. Since then, we’ve revamped the default scoring to better reflect positional value and diverse skill sets […]

“That was very disappointing,” O’Reilly said. “We came into the game and you could just tell we didn’t have the detail. I think everyone right now, we’re embarrassed. That was not what we do. We stick with it. We compete to the end, and we didn’t. “ The blowout loss in Denver came two days […]

General manager Tom Fitzgerald announced the moves Friday. Ruff previously retained Alain Nasreddine and hired Mark Recchi. Taylor started his professional coaching career with Rochester (AHL) as an assistant from 2012 to 2016. After the 2016-17 season as an assistant with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, he returned to Rochester to serve as the club’s head coach. He also […]

The first thing one notices about Bill Armstrong is the ring. The one with 282 diamonds and 51 sapphires, for a total weight of 10.6 carats. The one with the St. Louis Blues logo resting on the Stanley Cup, with each round of their 2019 championship journey etched inside the band. The one Armstrong wore […]

Armstrong, 50, has been the St. Louis Blues’ assistant GM/director of amateur scouting the past two seasons. He replaces John Chayka, who resigned as GM on the eve of the Stanley Cup playoffs, leading the team to say he “quit” and that it was “disappointed in his actions and his timing.” “We are very excited […]
Continue readingBlues trade goalie Jake Allen to Canadiens for picks
Montreal acquired Allen, 30, and a 2022 seventh-round pick in return for a third-round pick in 2020 (previously acquired from Washington) and a seventh-round pick in 2020 (previously acquired from Chicago). Allen played 24 games with the Blues in 2019-20 and posted a 12-6-3 record with a 2.15 goals-against average and .927 save percentage. He […]
Continue reading2020 NHL playoffs: Stock watch for all 24 postseason teams
Both are infamous for their fluctuation. Stock prices climb and fall and climb again. NHL teams and players exhibit the same streakiness from game to game. The goat on one night can become the G.O.A.T. by the end of the series. It’s the unpredictability that can enrich one’s life or turn one’s portfolio to trash. […]
Continue readingDefending champ Blues eliminated by Canucks after ’embarrassing’ effort
Ryan O’Reilly stared down at the table in front him, moments after the Vancouver Canucks completed their six-game upset of his St. Louis Blues. After last season’s final game, he and his teammates passed around the Stanley Cup in victory. But O’Reilly didn’t recognize the team around him Friday night, as far as their effort […]
