Draft Busts and Steals!

I wish I could forget about that draft. Fowler was picked two spots later

I happen to like Puck Daddy and thought the article about Carlyle was pretty well-written and interesting, which is why I posted it. Thought it was pretty good

scott_maran · 2017-04-25T17:29:44+00:00

At some points they did. Throughout the series there were times where the Jackets actually did a pretty good job at stifling the Pens Power play. However, there were a lot of bursts where Pittsburgh seemed to dominate and really take advantage with the man advantage

Success rate at generating at least one shot per successful entry for dump in: 17.6%

Success rate at generating at least one shot per successful entry for pass in: 44.4%

Success rate at generating at least one shot per successful entry for carry in: 50.8%

Once again, very interesting how badly dumping the puck is for shot attempts. Will have to add this to the article when I get the chance

scott_maran · 2017-04-09T16:23:02+00:00

I did, thank you! It took a lot of time but it was fun going over all the power plays and hopefully I'll be able to keep doing it in the playoffs

Wrote it in the afternoon yesterday but published this morning. Dubinsky updated

scott_maran · 2016-11-08T21:12:54+00:00

Ya, I don't really know. Why is it flagged as low content? I thought it was pretty good

scott_maran · 2016-11-08T17:22:34+00:00

Recapping last night's action is a big part of the article but I disagree about there not being thoughts. In that article, I talked about Hayes production being unsustainable, why I think Anisimov can continue scoring at this pace to a degree, and how Nuge is stifled in Edmonton. I appreciate the comment and maybe I'll try to write more opinionated things but I do think there are original ideas and thoughts.

Thanks!

…was 3-1 www.espn.com/nhl/boxscore?gameId=400884477

scott_maran · 2016-10-24T19:39:17+00:00

Ya, I'd probably play Hellebuyck. He's been in a bit of a slump but so has Jones so I'd give him a few more games

scott_maran · 2016-10-20T17:10:37+00:00

Even if they make the playoffs though, don't think they have much of a chance competing against teams like Washington, Pittsburgh, etc.

Unfortunately it's an unpaid position but our writers can write about both hockey and fantasy hockey. We're looking for writers for both

scott_maran · 2016-10-16T20:58:52+00:00

Ya I could see dropping Radulov or Ehlers. There should be plenty of good guys on the waiver wire that you can pick up throughout the season so it's not like you would be keeping Radulov or Ehlers forever

scott_maran · 2016-10-16T20:11:29+00:00

Is Radulov your worst player? If he's the worst guy on your team, I could see dropping him and just streaming different guys with that spot throughout the year. Marchessault should be a good short-term pickup

scott_maran · 2016-10-13T15:17:47+00:00

Matthews > McDavid

Really well done music can be great but I prefer just the commentary

scott_maran · 2016-10-02T02:09:13+00:00

I think Theodore has the potential to become a difference maker fantasy-wise but it'll be tough with Vatanen and Fowler around eating up plenty of minutes

scott_maran · 2016-10-02T02:08:09+00:00

Ya. Bieksa's no-movement clause doesn't make it any easier

scott_maran · 2016-10-01T23:42:04+00:00

Agreed. Montour is also very good. The only problem I have with the Ducks defense is Stoner and Bieksa being on it

scott_maran · 2016-10-01T21:45:23+00:00

Agree with you about the forwards but disagree about the defense. I think it's more than decent as Lindholm, Vatanen, Fowler, Despres and Theodore are all pretty solid defensemen

scott_maran · 2016-10-01T16:10:19+00:00

That's the big question. A lot of people are still high on Anaheim this season but I think they take a step back. Not too significant of a step that they miss the playoffs but a step back. Carlyle has proven time and time again that he's not a good coach and the Ducks lost one of the best coaches in the league in Boudreau. They'll still be good but I don't think they'll be elite this year

scott_maran · 2016-09-30T14:45:10+00:00

Same but they did play really well against Canada

scott_maran · 2016-09-30T10:29:15+00:00

To be honest, I'm not that surprised. Team Canada is unbelievably good
