In the last 20+ years, we have never had a Stanley Cup winner with less than a +25 goal differential in the regular season. The Penguins win over the Red Wings in 2009 was the lowest of the 20 years with a +25. How about the loser? Well for the losers there have been various goal differentials. For the most part they’ve all had a positive goal differential too. There are three exceptions. Carolina in 01-02 lost to Detroit and had a 217/217 GF/GA. In 92-93 Los Angeles lost to Montreal with a negative differential 338/340 GF/GA. The Kings gave up a lot of goals that year, only three teams gave up more goals than them that season. In 90-91 the Minnesota North Stars (remember them) had a negative 10 differential 256/266 GF/GA and a 27-39-14 record (yikes!). Of course that year there were only 10 teams in the West so all but two teams got in the playoffs.

Love is in the air this Valentine’s Day, but no so much in the NHL these days.

Even one of the greats of the league is not happy at what is happening around [...]

First line players always are drafted and own in most leagues but you can’t ignore those players that take advantage of the less ice time to be productive fantasy options.

The goaltender is the most talked about position in the NHL today. More and more teams are relying on a tandem or an unproven commodity to lead them to victory. Right now there are only six goalies who have started 12 or more games and most teams are not having their goaltender play more than [...]
