The Stanley Cup Playoffs are set to begin this Wednesday! If you've got a Hockey Playoffs Pool to compete in, then you haven't got much time figure out your picks. Here is a look at the opening round in the Eastern Conference. It is hard to pick against the favourites, especially the Eastern series where there seems to be a clear first tier and second tier of playoff teams. I'm going ...

The regular season is winding down, and a good number of fantasy junkies are gearing up for Stanley Cup Playoff pools . These pools offer a shot at redemption for those of us who have been out of contention in our pools for a while now, and a chance to hold ultimate bragging rights for regular season victors. With this in mind, let’s have a look at a few of this ...

At the very end of last season, I was on your side. I thought Carey Price had an ego his game couldn’t yet match, and really doubted his desire to be a franchise goalie.

Rumblings of his inclusion on Canada’s Olympic team should provide plenty of motivation for him to continue to produce.   D Sheldon Souray , EDM I had him listed in the "hold" group the last time around , ...

Attention hockey fans. Now on to our regularly scheduled fantasy hockey buy, sell and hold candidates. Buy Carey Price , G, MTL û I will admit, I am a biased Montreal Canadiens fan. Over PriceÆs last four starts though, he completely stole a game in Boston, won with a solid performance in Phoenix, and put on one of his best displays ever in a loss to the Preds. Martin finally seems determined to ...
