How Golden Knights disrupted the NHL, won the Stanley Cup
The first time Brayden McNabb thought about the Vegas Golden Knights winning the Stanley Cup was when owner Bill Foley spoke it into existence in Year 1. “Playoffs in three.

In the Eastern Conference, per Caesars Sportsbook, the Boston Bruins are the favorite (+300) followed by the Toronto Maple Leafs (+475) and the surprising New Jersey Devils (+600).

As stands, the league’s limited crew in net includes a varied bunch. We have our great goalies on struggling teams – think Carter Hart and Karel Vejmelka – along with those less successful who may play a lot, and strong backups who don’t see nearly enough action for our fantasy use. Then everyone in between. […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings: Why these two Coyotes can keep scoring
Jakob Chychrun and Nick Schmaltz returned to the lineup for the Arizona Coyotes for the first time this season (basically, as Schmaltz was hurt two minutes into the opener and Chychrun hadn’t yet played in 2022-23). In four games since then, the upstart Coyotes have earned four of a possible eight points (great by their […]
