FanDuel NHL picks

On February 24th I started writing this: “I keep writing about “daily fantasy hockey gods” as if there were some great being (or beings) out there who decide our fantasy fates. I’m here to tell you, they exist. I don’t have proof at this point if we’re talking a singular Christian God, a Mount Olympus […]

I angered the gods yesterday. I boasted about my undefeated streak and they slammed me with three straight losses. I mentioned yesterday in my daily fantasy piece that a three game NHL night can cause a daily fantasy gamer to crash back to reality. I’m back in reality and firmly in the fantasy god’s doghouse.

Yesterday I prayed to the daily fantasy gods. In a disgraceful act of pure begging I sent my prayer over the Twitter airwaves. Maybe the daily fantasy gods actually live somewhere in the dark netherworld of Twitter as some of my prayers were answered. We went undefeated last night over at FanDuel—going 3-0 in head-to-heads, placing

Yesterday only featured three NHL games and most of the scoring came in the Pittsburgh/Philadelphia game. There were 16 goals scored last night—11 came from Pitt/Philly game.

Brad Marchand scored, Cody Hodgson scored, Sidney Crosby scored, Kris Letang had 4.2 fantasy points and Jake Allen got a win. Patrick Kane hurt us with only 1.2 fantasy points and that was

Wednesday night was marked by Erik Karlsson‘s lacerated achilles. Even by hockey standards, it’s a cringe worthy injury. Even saying “lacerated achilles” out loud doesn’t feel right. It sounds like a bad horror movie. If it is a bad horror movie, the villain in this one is Matt Cooke. Maybe he wasn’t an intentional villain

After a 6-0 run over the course of two days we fell off the wagon a little and went 0-2 last night. This brings us to 13-8 on the year. Not bad, but not exactly where we’d like to be. Today I’m leaning on some Detroit stars to bring us some FanDuel glory. With only
