Ottawa and Tampa Bay Make First Big NHL Trade Deadline Deal
In a deal that comes down about 45 minutes before the official trade deadline, Tampa Bay will send undrafted winger Cory Conacher to the Ottawa Senators, along with a fourth round pick, for goalie Ben Bishop. The Lightning address a need that they are lacking (their team save percentage ranks 24th in the NHL this […]
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for April 3
Yesterday I presented two daily fantasy NHL lineups. One scored 43.70 points and the other scored 39.40 points. Both made it into the top half of the 50/50’s I played and won us a little cash. Again, I’ll try to keep the streak going. I’m taking cheap goaltending once again with Joey MacDonald at $5,500. The […]
NHL Trade Deadline: Bergeron and Clowe – Not Big Names But Possibly A Big Fantasy Impact
Two names that aren’t future hall-of-famers that found a new home before the NHL trade deadline are Marc-André Bergeron and Ryane Clowe. For simplicity’s sake, I’m going to go over these one at a time. Marc-André Bergeron Adam Hall goes back to Tampa Bay for the second time in his career (and season) along with […]
The Boston Bruins Add Jaromir Jagr; Who Will It Affect Most?

Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks for April 3
At this point, you might be saying to yourself, “Why am I reading this?” Bear with me. We’ll get it figured out. It’s too early to bail on me, your resident jerk. Yesterday, we had some lineup issues with Raburn and Valencia not playing at all; ehem, Valencia isn’t even on the active roster. I […]
NHL Trade Deadline: Derek Roy Is Now A Vancouver Canuck – The Fantasy Impact
The trades just keep on rolling. I feel bad for all the Trade-(enter conjunction here) programs that won’t have much to talk about tomorrow because everything is happening today. In a move that isn’t so surprising but kind of is surprising, the Dallas Stars career of Derek Roy ends after 30 games. It’s not so […]
Fantasy Football: Ben Roethlisberger is a QB1 Being Drafted as a QB2
For whatever reason Ben Roethlisberger isn’t being mentioned with the elite fantasy football signal callers this off-season. Whether it has to do with Mike Wallace leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers to sign with the Miami Dolphins or Roethlisberger missing three games last season due to a shoulder/rib injury whenever the topic of elite fantasy football quarterbacks […]
