Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]
I know Brennan mentioned Jamie Benn yesterday, but I also wanted to touch on him as someone that has been a huge piece of helping one of my teams into the fantasy finals this week, with his scoring revival of seven goals across a six-game scoring streak from mid- to late-March. Last year’s 76-point-pace is [...]

After missing 16 games due to an upper-body injury, Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Jamie Drysdale was back in the lineup on Monday night, and slotted onto the top power play unit. There had been top PP time for Cam York with Drysdale injured, and York had been playing heavy minutes, so this will cut into all [...]

If you are one of those fantasy hockey heads that is on the outside looking in in terms of [...]
In the pre-season, I wrote an article here on who I thought might get into the 100-hit/100-block club this season. It’s not as big a club as one would presume, as most teams will have no more than one or two candidates on their roster. It is obvious that some teams are built around three [...]
Although there was only one game on Sunday, it served as a make-or-break matchup for many fantasy leagues. I personally suffered the less favourable of those fates, losing my semi-final matchup on Vancouver’s game-winning goal, as my opponent collected assists from J.T. Miller and Conor Garland. For a while I was inconsolable, regretting every lineup [...]
Hello and welcome back to Geek of the Week! In this week’s article, I am going to help you plan for your upcoming fantasy playoff matchups, which may be the finals for some, and semi-finals for others. This is where league winners are born.

Happy Easter, everyone! I’ll be filling in for Ian today. I know, I know, it’s like getting a bran bar instead of a chocolate egg, but with 15 games on Saturday, there’s no time to wallow in disappointment. Let’s get into the action! ~ Aleksander Barkov’s third period heroics led Florida to a 3-2 shootout [...]
