There was only one goal scored in Game 7 between the Islanders and Lightning, but those types of games turn out to be nailbiters instead of snoozefests when there’s so much on the line. In the end, Andrei Vasilevskiy didn’t make any mistakes, making 18 saves in the 1-0 shutout win for Tampa Bay. Vasilevskiy [...]
Now that we have wrapped up our ‘Most Valuable” series we are going to turn our attention to playoff results. (To review the season’s most valuable players check it out here for centermen, left wings, right wings, defensemen, and goalies). We won't focus on matchup results so much as on what various players accomplished during [...]
Montreal and Vegas played a game that looked like most of the games this series: tight-checking, low-scoring, and on a knife’s edge of mistakes. The Habs were able to hold on to a 2-1 lead for a large chunk of the night, but a third-period goal sent it to overtime again. Alec Martinez was able [...]

The Seattle Kraken have named their first head coach. For months now, it was expected to be Rick Tocchet, but those rumours seemed to have fallen apart over the last few days. New names emerged this week, and today the team announced that Dave Hakstol will be the franchise’s first bench boss. What does this [...]
Same as the last two weeks, I will review two players that fall into each category. The good will cover players that produced over expectations and provided really good-to-exceptional value to their cap hit. The ‘bad’ – perhaps better viewed as fair market value, or players that produced on par with salary expectations. The ugly, [...]
Carl Gunnarsson has retired from the NHL after 12 seasons. He always seemed kind of underrated, but he generally brought really good defence to the middle of any blue line. He was a reliable part of many successful Blues teams, including the Cup winner in 2019. He retires at the age of 34 with over [...]
Welcome back to another edition of the Roos Lets Loose monthly mailbag, where I answer your fantasy hockey questions by giving advice that should be useful to all poolies even if they don’t own the specific players being discussed. As a reminder, if you want your fantasy hockey question(s) answered in the next mailbag, check [...]
Vegas decided to go with Marc-Andre Fleury in net on Tuesday, and even in spite of the gaffe from game three, it’s tough to argue against it. Both he and Lehner deserve to be leading a team through the final four, but there’s only room for one guy in the crease at a time. The [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll look at the most disappointing player from each team in 2021. This will be the first of two parts, where we’ll cover the first eight teams of the conference in alphabetical order (i.e. Boston to New Jersey). Check out last week's edition as we discussed discrepancies between regular season [...]
