Feb 3rd 2020, 2:24pm EST
Good day fantasy hockey world, @KINGTUNA4 here with this week's goalie ramblings. I am going to look at a couple of hot goalies. I will also look at a couple of favourable matchups over the next week and I will have a look at the injury ward. We also had a goalie fight, which is one of my favourite things to witness. *
Even though we had a bye week and all-star break, a couple of goalies came out of it still on fire and look to continue that into their next few starts.
Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens has been on a hot streak over his last eight games having 6 quality starts over that time. The Canadiens chose to use him in back to back games this weekend as they try and claw their way back into the playoff race. Price had a decent game on Sunday allowing three goals on 26 shots in a loss to Columbus. He was much better Saturday against the high powered offense of the Florida Panthers. He stopped all 29 shots for his third shutout of the season. Price is having an up and done type season but if the Canadiens plan to be anywhere near the playoffs down the stretch they will need Price at his best over the last two months of the season.
Saturday also saw a great performance from Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers as he posted his first shutout of the season against the Detroit Red Wings. Lundqvist has had a bit of a rough go of it this season but he is still doing decently in the quality start category having 13 quality starts in 26 games played. He has only had three really bad starts showing he still has a bit of fire left in him. It\'s hard not to root for a guy like Henrik but his time as a fantasy relevant goalie may be in the past. Cautiously use him when he has a strong matchup like the one against the Red Wings.
Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins came back from his time off nursing a head injury like he had never missed a game. Rask had a very strong game back against the Winnipeg Jets where he allowed just one goal on 38 shots. Rask is having another very strong season this year and I think rest has been a big part of it. As much as I as a Rask owner would like to see him in net more, it looks like alternating games with Jaroslav Halak has been the smart play this season as Rask still looks quite strong this late in the season. I do expect Rask to get a bit more of an increased workload as the Bruins try and fight off the LIghtning for top spot in the Atlantic.
* This week we are back to a full slate of games after everyone has had their bye week. This week we have 12 teams playing four games so lots of matchups to choose from. Here are a couple of key teams that I think will have a great week. I would expect Philipp Grubauer and the Colorado Avalanche to have a great week. The Avalanche first face the Buffalo Sabres where, in nine games Grubauer has eight quality starts and a record of 5-1-2. He has a sparkling save percentage of .957 and a goal against average of 1.15. Then the Avalanche move on to Ottawa where they will play the basement dwelling Senators. In five games against them, Grubauer has three wins. Later in the week you might want to sit Grubauer when they face the Blue Jackets. In five career games Grubauer has never won allowing almost three goals per game. The Avalanche will finish off the week in Minnesota where he has been decent in five games with three quality starts. Overall I think it will be a good week for the Avalanche and Grubauer. Frederik Andersen and the Toronto Maple Leafs play four games this week and it starts off against the Florida Panthers who destroyed them in their last match up. Over Andersen\'s last ten games against the Panthers he has just two really bad starts and a winning record of 6-1-2. Then the Leafs move onto a road game against the New York Rangers where Andersen hasn\'t fared as well but does have five wins in ten games. Then the Anaheim Ducks come to town for Andersen to face his old team. In four games against his old team Andersen has two wins. We may see Michael Hutchinson against the Ducks and see Andersen face the Montreal Canadiens in a Saturday road match. Andersen has won six of his last seven games against the Canadiens so this may be the better match up for him. If the Leafs look to stay in third this week they will need excellent play from both Andersen and Hutchinson. I say they do it so start them both with confidence. * Now is the moment we look at the injury ward. We did see a couple of injured goalies return but there were also a couple of new injuries to report. Tuukka Rask returned to action after missing almost two weeks with a concussion. He came back with a strong outing as mentioned above. Jonathan Bernier had missed the Detroit Red Wings last seven games before returning to action against the New York Rangers. Bernier was great in his return allowing just one goal on 30 shots in a losing effort. Linus Ullmark left the net for the Buffalo Sabres last Tuesday with a little less than 10 minutes left in the game. It looks like he suffered a leg injury and will be out a minimum three to four weeks. Expect Carter Hutton to get the brunt of the starts until Ullmark returns. Carter Hart of the Philadelphia Flyers is still dealing with an abdominal issue and has at least another week to go before he will make his return. Joonas Korpisalo of the Columbus Blue Jackets is traveling with the team on this road trip but could still be a little ways out as he is only four weeks post surgery and his timeframe to return was four to six weeks. There is no need to rush Korpisalo as Elvis has been playing great in his absence. * I know I am supposed to say fighting in sports is dangerous and blah blah blah. Maybe I am old school or its the fact I am not the one getting punched in the face but I still think fighting has a place in hockey and I love when two goalies come together for a clash. This Saturday we saw a goalie fight and it was Edmonton's Mike Smith versus Calgary's Cam Talbot. Seeing Mike Smith temper in the past I would not want to mess with him but Talbot answered the call and unfortunately for Talbot he got his bell rung. See below for the glorious tilt. * Thanks for reading this week\'s goalie ramblings King Tuna

In a somewhat surprising move, Barry Trotz was relieved of his coaching duties by the New York Islanders on Monday morning. The Isles had a disappointing season, but Trotz has typically done an excellent job everywhere he's gone and it remains to be seen who they bring in as a replacement and how that might impact the team.

In the never-ending tug of war that is the battle for the Washington Capitals net, Ilya Samsonov gained an edge recently, starting four of the past six games. Samsonov won three of those outings but his numbers still weren't great and he eventually got pulled in his most recent start.

Carey Price is ramping up his practices and it feels like he could make a return to the ice this season. I don't think he'll really have any value for the fantasy playoffs, but he could be an interesting keeper option depending on how things play out in the offseason.

Could Vitek Vanecek's week have gone any worse? The Washington Capitals only played Monday and Sunday, with Vanecek giving up nine goals on 41 shots in the two losses. This week's schedule won't get any easier, as the Caps play Tampa, Pittsburgh and Boston.

Mar 21st 2022, 6:00pm EDT
Trade Deadline Day is here and there are plenty of goalies that could potentially be on the move, which will ultimately impact their fantasy value. The biggest name available is obviously Marc-Andre Fleury and his value will likely get a boost if he's dealt because he's only going to a contender.

Connor Hellebuyck has arguably been the most disappointing goalie this fantasy hockey season and things are starting to bottom out. The Winnipeg Jets netminder was likely the second goalie taken in a number of drafts last fall, but he's failed to provide the value worthy of a selection that high.

Things have taken quite a turn in the Vegas crease, as Robin Lehner is apparently dealing with a shoulder injury. There were even some rumblings that the Golden Knights were interested in a reunion with Marc-Andre Fleury, but for now it's Laurent Brossoit's net and he's someone you should be adding if you get the chance.

Everyone that stashed Tuukka Rask hasn't quite been rewarded the way they were hoping for just yet. The Boston Bruins netminder delivered a pair of quality starts since returning, but then gave up five goals in each of his other two games and is now dealing with a minor injury.

One of the more interesting questions for the second half of the season is what to do with Carter Hart? The Philadelphia Flyers netminder is having a bounceback season, but his team is not. Philly has two separate 10-game losing streaks this year and are rarely able to give Hart much goal support.

I mentioned last week Pavel Francouz was worth taking a gamble on for the Colorado Avalanche as he works his way back from injury, and if you added him, he could suddenly have increased value. Depending on the severity of Darcy Kuemper's injury and given the struggles of third stringer Jonas Johansson, Francouz could potentially be in for a run of starts if he can stay healthy.

The Washington Capitals goaltending situation took quite a turn last week, with Zach Fucale making his NHL debut and delivering shutout.

Carey Price will be re-joining the Montreal Canadiens next week, but it will likely still be some time before the veteran goaltender is ready to hit the ice for game action.

Everyone is always looking for an advantage against the rest of the teams in their fantasy hockey league and when it comes to goalies, sometimes that means thinking outside the box. Whether it's drafting a sleeper in the later rounds or finding a gem on the waiver wire, getting major production from a goalie that wasn't on anyone's radar going into a season can sometimes push you over the top and help you win your league.
Sep 27th 2021, 11:03am EDT
With teams in the National Hockey League gravitating more and more to a tandem system when it comes to their goalies, it provides fantasy hockey general managers with a lot to think about when drafting. Whether it's trying to decipher who the 1A is and who the 1B is in a tandem so you'll know who should get the edge in starts, or forecasting if a backup has the skills to play well enough to create a tandem situation, understanding how teams deploy their goalies can give you a big edge.
Sep 20th 2021, 9:42am EDT
No matter how much research you do leading up to your fantasy hockey draft, it's impossible to accurately predict how all of your picks will pan out. In fact, there's significant risk with a large majority of players taken and that's never truer than when it comes to goalies.
Sep 13th 2021, 10:02pm EDT
With fantasy hockey drafts quickly approaching, developing a plan on where to draft your goalies can give you a big advantage over your competition. You can target a couple of top tier goalies early on to really solidify that spot on your roster, but that's not necessarily always the best choice.
Sep 7th 2021, 10:03pm EDT
One thing to keep an eye on in your drafts are goalies slipping down the board because of issues from the previous season. Whether it's an injury, poor play or an offseason move, there's a number of reasons a goalie could fall.
Aug 24th 2021, 12:12pm EDT
The most crowded crease heading into the 2021-22 campaign belongs to the Dallas Stars. With four goalies possibly in play as far as fantasy value goes, it's going to make drafting the right guy fairly challenging.

Jul 29th 2021, 1:27am EDT
It's been a few days since the Carolina Hurricanes traded Alex Nedeljkovic to the Detroit Red Wings, and it still doesn\'t make much sense. The Canes potentially gave up their goalie of the future for a third-round pick and the rights to pending UFA Jonathan Bernier.

Every weekend when we open up Twitter for questions the most common response is always the same: What's wrong with Sergei Bobrovsky? The Panthers netminder hasn't been anywhere close to expectations since arriving in Florida, but this week there was some flashes of the goalie that has claimed a pair of Vezina Trophies. Bobrovsky posted a pair of solid outings, including one where he outdueled Andrei Vasilevskiy of the Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning.
Feb 15th 2021, 12:46pm EST
Much like the NFL, NBA, and MLB, it didn't take long for COVID to wreak havoc on this NHL season. Several games have already been postponed and there will surely be more to come.
Feb 2nd 2021, 11:46pm EST
Good morning fantasy hockey readers. @kingtuna4 here with the first installment of this year's goalie ramblings.
Jan 18th 2021, 10:19am EST
The season is only a few days old and it's certainly too early to overreact to a small sample size, but with only 56-games this year, expect coaches not to hesitate to make a change between the pipes if their starter is struggling. These might not be goalies you'll want to keep on your roster all season, but that doesn't mean you can't temporarily capitalize on some extra playing time for goalies sitting on the waiver wire.
Jan 16th 2021, 11:42pm EST
Many feel the Colorado Avalanche have all the pieces in place to make a run at the Stanley Cup, but they could use an upgrade in goal. In actuality, Colorado's netminders, although somewhat inexperienced, were a major strength for the team last season.
Nov 12th 2020, 2:12pm EST
The Toronto Maple Leafs finally landed a capable backup goalie in a trade last season, but the pandemic stopped the league before we could really see what Jack Campbell was capable of. Campbell played in just six games for the Leafs before the shutdown, though a .
Nov 2nd 2020, 1:01pm EST
The Seattle Kraken still have another year to wait before they join the NHL, but the rest of the league needs to start thinking about who they will protect in the expansion draft. Other than the Vegas Golden Knights, who will be exempt from the draft because of their recent entry into the league, every team will have to expose players for the Kraken to build their initial squad with.
Oct 26th 2020, 12:59pm EDT
Remember when you could draft someone like Martin Brodeur and just pencil him in for 70 starts? It was certainly a simpler time for fantasy hockey, although those days don't appear to be returning anytime soon. Sure, you still get the odd goalie that's good for 60 games or so, but more and more teams are now running with a tandem duo between the pipes.
Oct 19th 2020, 9:09am EDT
The goalie carousel has finally stopped spinning and a number of netminders have found a new home for the 2020-21 campaign. Some goaltenders improved their value, while others are going to be trending in the wrong direction with their new teams.
Oct 12th 2020, 1:20pm EDT
If debuting new jerseys and letting Alex Trebek make their third overall pick wasn't exciting enough, the Ottawa Senators also made a big splash on day two of the NHL draft. Ottawa acquired goaltender Matt Murray from the Pittsburgh Penguins, filling a need between the pipes for a team that desperately required some stability in goal.
Oct 7th 2020, 2:51pm EDT
Henrik Lundqvist's time in the Big Apple has come to an end. After 15 seasons with the New York Rangers, the team bought out Lundqvist to save some cap space and make way for Igor Shesterkin and Alexandar Georgiev.
Sep 30th 2020, 12:27pm EDT
Connor Hellebuyck took home the Vezina Trophy this week as the league's top goaltender for 2019-20, but Andrei Vasilevskiy is leaving little doubt as to who the best in the world is during these playoffs. Even though Hellebuyck may have the hardware, Vasilevskiy is proving he should be the first goalie off your board in next year's fantasy drafts.
Sep 24th 2020, 1:08pm EDT
With the New York Islanders bowing out of the Stanley Cup playoffs after an impressive run, the team will no doubt look to make some changes to improve their chances at winning it all next year. While the majority of the tinkering will come at forward and with the defense corps, New York's netminders will also look different in 2020-21.
Sep 18th 2020, 3:26pm EDT
Anton Khudobin probably should have fallen apart by now, but instead he just seems to be getting stronger as these playoffs move along. Forced into action because of an injury to Ben Bishop, the Dallas Stars netminder has backstopped his squad to the conference finals and is now just two wins away from competing for the Stanley Cup.
Sep 11th 2020, 10:31am EDT
So much for Jake Allen pushing Jordan Binnington next year. The St.
Sep 2nd 2020, 5:21pm EDT
When most people hear the name Jim Carrey they think of Ace Ventura or The Truman Show, but there's another Jim Carey, with one R, that hockey fans may remember. Carey exploded onto the scene for the Washington Capitals in the mid-90s, playing 71 games in 1995-96 and capturing the Vezina Trophy.

Good day to all the readers. Happy trade deadline day.
Feb 24th 2020, 8:41pm EST
Good day fantasy hockey land @KINGTUNA4 here with this week\'s goalie ramblings. I am currently on my family vacation at Disney World so I thought I would take a look at the goalies here in Florida.

Good morning readers, an excited @KINGTUNA4 here with this week\'s goalie ramblings. Before we jump into that, congratulations goes out to my San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Jan 20th 2020, 11:42am EST
Good day fantasy hockey readers, @KINGTUNA4 here with this week\'s goalie ramblings. I am going to take a look at a couple of good performances from the past week and I will have a look at a couple of terrible performances.

Good morning fantasy hockey land. Welcome to the goalie ramblings.
Nov 11th 2019, 10:00am EST
Good day fantasy hockey land. I hope you were able to take advantage of daylight savings time and get an extra hour of watching hockey or sleep.
Nov 11th 2019, 9:54am EST
Good day poolies. Hopefully your goalies made more stops than your opponents.
Oct 28th 2019, 10:28am EDT
Good evening and hello! A very tired @KINGTUNA4 here with this weeks goalie ramblings. I'm going to discuss waiver wire pickups, a couple of hot goalies, and this weeks schedule.
Oct 21st 2019, 7:23pm EDT
Good morning fantasy hockey readers and a happy Thanksgiving to all my friends here in Canada. I\'m a little late writing this as yesterday was a very good sports day and I was up late watching the end of the Baseball game.
Oct 14th 2019, 12:02pm EDT
Good morning fantasyhockey land. @kingtuna4 here and I hope this ramblings greats you well.
Oct 7th 2019, 11:50am EDT
We're back for another year of goalie ramblings. I'm @kingtuna and I'll be the sole writer for the ramblings this year.
Oct 1st 2019, 7:22am EDT
Good day fantasy hockey fans. Today will be my last goalie ramblings for this season.
Apr 1st 2019, 2:58pm EDT
Happy Monday y\'all! If you are still in your fantasy hockey playoffs, congrats and good luck the rest of the way! *** Taking a look at the upcoming week, the Buffalo Sabres has FIVE games! If you are looking for extra streaming options, they are your team to look at. They have two back-to-backs and with them out of the playoff hunt, look for them to spread the games out evenly.
Mar 25th 2019, 1:50pm EDT
Good morning fantasy hockey land. @Kingtuna4 here with this week\'s goalie ramblings.
Mar 18th 2019, 8:58am EDT
Happy Monday y\'all! We are in crunch time for fantasy leagues. If your playoffs started last week, hopefully you advanced and if they don\'t start till this week, good luck! Let us know how your team has fared this season in the comments on Twitter.

Good morning fantasy hockey fans. @kingtuna4 here with this week\'s goalie ramblings.
Mar 4th 2019, 12:09pm EST
Happy Trade Deadline Day! Hope y\'all had fun watching/listening today and hopefully your team made a move you are excited about. Goalie trades are usually rare on this day, but we did have a little action.
Feb 26th 2019, 1:25am EST
Good morning all, and a happy Presidents Day to my friends to the south. Here in Ontario it is Family Day.
Feb 18th 2019, 1:36am EST
Happy Monday y\'all! We had a relatively quiet week on the goalie front, which isn\'t always a bad thing as we hit the stretch run. Let\'s dive right in.
Feb 11th 2019, 1:38am EST
Good morning everyone and a big welcome back to all the teams after their bye weeks. I am sure glad hockey is back and that we had a full slate of games this weekend.
Feb 4th 2019, 10:45am EST
Happy Monday y\'all! The biggest reason I don\'t like the All-Star Game is because it shortens the week of actual games. With some teams on their bye week as well, we only had a total number of 15 games to cover.
Jan 28th 2019, 1:51am EST
Good day fantasy hockey land. @KINGTUNA4 here with this week ramblings.
Jan 20th 2019, 11:59pm EST
Happy Monday y\'all! We are halfway through the 2018-19 season (where has it gone?!) and we\'ve had some big headlines in the goalie world. Smaller pads have led to more goal scoring, but the athletic goalies have risen to the top; think of some of the saves Andrei Vasilevskiy and John Gibson have made this season.
Jan 14th 2019, 1:51am EST
Good morning and Happy New Year! Hopefully all of you are sticking to your resolutions. @Kingtuna4 here with another goalie ramblings.
Jan 7th 2019, 10:18am EST
Happy New Year everyone! I hope y\'all have a safe and fun evening that leads to a great 2019! Sorry this is up a little late, once again I am on vacation and this time I am up north! The wife and I went up to Buffalo, are currently in Toronto, and will finish up in Montreal at the end of the week. If you have any suggestions, make sure to find me on Twitter, @LAM1926, as this is our first time out here.
Dec 31st 2018, 8:29pm EST
Good morning and a Happy Christmas Eve. King Tuna here with another Goalie Ramblings.
Dec 24th 2018, 12:48am EST
Hey everyone, it\'s the most wonderful time of the year! The holidays are here and the World Juniors are upon us. There is a ton of hockey to watch and we start seeing some trades as teams either put up or shut up for the rest of the season.
Dec 17th 2018, 2:47am EST
Good day to all of you in fantasy hockey land. @Kingtuna4 here with another goalie ramblings.
Dec 10th 2018, 9:01am EST
Shoutout to @KINGTUNA4 for a great ramblings last week. Hope y\'all enjoy this one! *** We had some old school hockey on Saturday night with Tuukka Rask wanting to fight Jimmy Howard at center ice during the Bruins/Red Wings melee.
Dec 3rd 2018, 1:47am EST
Good morning fantasy hockey fans. @Kingtuna4 here coming at ya with another rousing goalie ramblings.

Good morning fantasy hockey land, @kingtuna4 here. This week I am going to take a look at a few starters that might be losing their job.
Nov 12th 2018, 9:02am EST
I know it\'s not May the 5th, but it is November 5th and we had some big goalies returning to action. Cory Schneider\'s first start came against Detroit and he stopped 27 of 30 shots in a 4-3 loss.
Nov 5th 2018, 2:06am EST
So this week I thought I would try something different with the goalie ramblings. I'm trying to engage with the readers a little more to create some fun within goalie post.
Oct 29th 2018, 10:11am EDT
Happy Monday y'all! Jaro Halak has started two straight for the Bs but he hasn't looked great. While Tuukka RaskThas not given them a great shot to win when he starts, like I said a couple of weeks ago, Rask always starts the season slow so keep chipping away at owners in your leagues that are looking to get rid of him.
Oct 22nd 2018, 2:01am EDT
To almost quote Jay Z. Goals, goals, goals, goals, goals I do adore said no goalie ever! It's the start of the season and for most that means lots of goals.
Oct 15th 2018, 4:10pm EDT
Happy hockey season! Even though the Cup was awarded in June, it feels like hockey was gone for years. *** With the league officially starting last week, teams had to trim their rosters down to 23 skaters and there were some interesting players placed on waivers.
Oct 8th 2018, 1:43am EDT
Hello fantasy hockey land. My name is Aaron but my friends call me Tuna (@kingtuna4).
Oct 1st 2018, 9:05am EDT
Hi everyone! My name is Lucas Main (Twitter @LAM1926) and along with my buddy Aaron, we\'ll be bringing the ramblings every Monday. Hope you enjoy! With training camps a little over a week in, there are some fierce competitions going on for the back up spot on a number of teams and some squads are set in stone (barring injuries) so I\'ll touch on the teams that have question marks: BUF: Hutton, Ullmark, Wedgewood Hutton is the number one to start the season because of the three year contract GM Botterill handed him this past summer, but after that it comes down to Linus Ullmark and Scott Wedgewood.
Sep 24th 2018, 9:24am EDT
by Ryan Hoddick Being from a fantasy hockey league that sees twenty starting goaltenders drafted in the first couple of rounds, I've been forced to learn the value of every backup and backup's backup as well as when to snag them. Here's a look into some of the top backup goalie grabs of the season, when you could\'ve found them, and how to find guys like it in the future.

By: Jimmer Lowe Rebuilding in Fantasy Hockey can be a fickle thing. A long and arduous process that can become a lot less exciting when you aren\'t getting NHL Exec money to tank.
Mar 3rd 2018, 1:39pm EST
By Kevin Wickersham Useful goaltenders are often a rare fantasy commodity. With the mercurial nature of the job, even the best sometimes just lose it and for whatever reason can no longer produce at a high level.
Jan 1st 2018, 5:40pm EST

An Early Look at Goalie Performances in the West By Kevin Wickersham We\'re a little over a month into the campaign so let\'s take a look at how the West\'s goalies have performed thus far. Much is prone to change, but from a fantasy perspective (obviously dependent on your league\'s settings) consider this a loose ranking of early returns that could flip wildly in the upcoming week or two.

Goalie Post is back in advance of the 2017-18 season! Over the next few weeks we'll be getting things updated here. I know some of you are wondering about Dobber's top 100 goalie rankings - we have a tentative publishing date of mid-October for them, which should work with his current health situation.
Sep 6th 2017, 9:52am EDT
By Jake Schenkman Just a few thoughts of mine on some goalies this season: I like what Carolina has done as a team the past year but I don't understand the logic in going back to the combo of Ward/Lack this year after what they saw last year. I get bringing Lack back for this year but with Ward becoming a UFA after last year, and seeing where he's been the past few years, how do you sign him at $3.
Oct 13th 2016, 11:53pm EDT
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) With the season winding down, I thought it'd be appropriate to provide some guidance for keeper leagues on who I think the top goalies are going into next season. I've broken them out into a few categories.
Mar 28th 2016, 12:52pm EDT
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) Last week, I gave you a group of teams that may look like good matchups for your goalie, but when looking at their shot and chance generation, they may be fairly risky. This week, the plan was to provide a group of teams that, based on their record, are thought of as good teams but present an opportunity for a quality start.
Mar 21st 2016, 8:12pm EDT
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) Teams to Avoid The playoffs are here for standard 12 man Yahoo! Leagues, so matchups matter now more than ever. I tweet out what matchups I like daily from @WeakGloveSide, and if you follow you probably notice the trends of teams I like to start against and ones I avoid.
Mar 14th 2016, 12:46pm EDT
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) The trade Deadline is one of the biggest days in the NHL as it gives teams one last opportunity to bolster their rosters for a playoff push. While this year's deadline was a bit quieter than past years, a number of teams made significant additions to their team that should impact how you view them when choosing matchups for goalies.
Mar 7th 2016, 1:08pm EST
By Brian Lemenager Playoffs are only two weeks away for standard Yahoo leagues and getting hot at the right time is just as important in fantasy as it is in the NHL. So for those looking to make a push for that playoff spot I\'ve organized the top goalies by Yahoo season long ranking and provided their stats over the month of February to give you an idea of who to utilize for your late season push.

Feb 29th 2016, 12:57pm EST
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) A few weeks ago I wrote an article about Quality Starts by goalies and argued that some goalies may just be suffering from bad teams in front of them. After looking at home and away save percentages last week I wanted to return to that idea and present a different statistic that measured the topic in a similar manner.
Feb 22nd 2016, 11:02am EST
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) In sports, the common thought is teams perform better when playing in their own stadium. Whether it's due to familiarity, the fan support or the comfort of a certain routine I think most can agree it generally holds true.
Feb 15th 2016, 9:32am EST
By Teri Chazau (@terichazau) With the advanced stats community continuing to grow and gain influence, it is important now more than ever to understand how these statistics play off of each other. Even when stats seem to stack in a certain team's favor, you have to understand how in practice things might not play out as such.
Feb 10th 2016, 11:41pm EST
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) Last week, I tweeted what I thought was an interesting stat from @WeakGloveSide about the Devils and Cory Schneider. Up to the All Star Break, when Schneider was starting and the Devils scored more than one goal they were 22-1-3.
Feb 8th 2016, 8:44pm EST
By Jason Banks So lots to discuss since we are past the All-Star showcase, let's dive into one of two non-recognized holidays for hockey fans, The Deadline. All year there are lots of rumors of goalies losing jobs and needing to move, but very few places to go.
Feb 7th 2016, 12:55pm EST
By Teri Chazau (@terichazau) Since the NHL began tracking advanced stats, the Los Angeles Kings have put on a clinic in dominating the charts. Three of the past four seasons, including the current one, the Kings have ranked first in the league in possession numbers.
Feb 4th 2016, 7:05pm EST
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) The All-Star game limited the games on the NHL slate this week but I wanted to provide a simple breakdown of the remainder of the season. This article will be more useful for those in points only leagues where number of starts matter more, but it also could be valuable to those looking to make some moves before the deadline in their respective league.
Feb 1st 2016, 9:38am EST
By Teri Chazau (@terichazau) To supplement last week's team defense article, this week we will look at what teams sport the most dangerous offenses in the league from a daily fantasy standpoint by looking at how many shots they take for each goal they score. The teams at the top should be avoided in matchups as they leave goaltenders little opportunity to compensate for the points lost for goals against.
Jan 28th 2016, 12:02pm EST
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) Last week, @terichazau introduced the idea that when looking at the ratio of shots against per goals against, we can determine the quality of shots a team surrenders. The higher average number of shots to goals, the lower quality of chances.
Jan 25th 2016, 12:56am EST
By Teri Chazau (@terichazau) It seems like every week I find a way to mention how team defense is just as if not more important than goalies themselves when picking netminders for both daily and season long fantasy play. This week, I will rank each team based on a simplification of their team defense.
Jan 21st 2016, 12:11am EST
By Teri Chazau (@Terichazau) When it comes to a goalie in fantasy hockey, the team around him often can be more important than the goaltender himself. In this article, I'm going to look at teams whose goaltenders could benefit from improved play in the second half of the season, as well as those you should expect to regress.
Jan 14th 2016, 12:12am EST
By Teri Chazau (@terichazau) In any kind of fantasy matchup, the difference between a win and a loss can come down to a single shot or a single block. With such a small margin for error, it is critical that you take advantage of all the information available to you on any given night.
Jan 7th 2016, 1:09am EST
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) Given @terichazau recent introduction of some advanced statistics used to evaluate both individual players and teams, I figured it best to give some context to those statistics. I'll start with PDO.
Jan 4th 2016, 11:14am EST
By Teri Chazau (@terichazau) After covering the basics of possession numbers in last week's article, it's time to delve deeper into the world of advanced statistics. Too often I see supposed authorities of sports writing stipulating about the implications of certain stats only to recognize that they really don't know what they're talking about.
Dec 30th 2015, 11:01pm EST
By Teri Chazau (@terichazau) With advanced statistics continuing to grow in popularity, they have managed to creep onto the fantasy scene as well. Consequently, I wanted to educate our audience with a little introduction to advanced statistics, also known as possession statistics, so that you may apply them when considering players of any position for your roster.
Dec 24th 2015, 11:12am EST
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) This week I look at how goalies have been playing the past month. We\'re moving into the heart of the NHL season and teams should be settling in to who they are and forming their identity.
Dec 21st 2015, 11:27am EST
By Teri Chazau (@terichazau) It seems crazy to think that mere decades ago the butterfly was not a technique. It took a series of events, beginning with the introduction of the goalie mask and culminating in the likes of Vladislav Tretiak and Patrick Roy, to cement the butterfly as a legitimate style of goaltending.
Dec 17th 2015, 9:14am EST
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) Drafting the best players is important in every fantasy league. However, exploiting matchups allows owners to squeeze the best out of their rosters and maximize success over the course of the season.
Dec 14th 2015, 9:01am EST
By Teri Chazau (@terichazau) It's obvious at this point how the NHL views its profits more goals = more fans = more money. Changes dating back to the 2004-05 lockout have largely entailed an eye for more scoring.
Dec 10th 2015, 9:23am EST
By Brian Lemenager (@WeakGloveSide) 3: Garret Sparks & his pads Sparks posted a shutout in his first career NHL start and did so in style rocking some of the best pads I've seen to date. He stumbled in his second start against Winnipeg surrendering 6 goals but he was able to rebound against the Blues, stopping 27 of 28 shots and winning his second game in three starts.
Dec 7th 2015, 9:11am EST
By Teri Chazau (@terichazau) #1 Michael Neuvirth (PHI) five wins, . 939 save %, 3 shutouts The Flyers have been a slow starting team in recent years but always seem to turn on the jets as the season wears on, soyou can expect some offensive support to Neuvirth's stellar numbers thus far.
Dec 3rd 2015, 9:41am EST
Just a few ramblings and notes from around the league: We will start off in Calgary where they are a mess in net. Hiller is gone for at least another few days and Ramo has called up from the dead and started the last two games where he's given up 4 and 5 goals, respectively.

By Jason Banks We are nearing the all-star break, leading into deadline transactions and we are starting to see interesting situations develop. Ryan Miller is trucking along, at an elite pace since late-December.

By Jason Banks Welcome back all to a new year and a time to heat up down the stretch before the trade deadline! We have to start with Semyon Varlamov after his huge 54 save shutout vs Chicago last night. As impressive as he was last season with 41 wins, last season he only compiled a pair of shutouts, while last night\'s blanking was his third in only 21 games.

By Jake Schenkman Here's a few updates on happenings around the league: Brian Elliott will be back in the crease tonight after Brodeur got a shutout last night. Hitchcock hinted that they'll be carrying 3 goalies for now but it seems like Brodeur will be gone sooner rather than later, and I just don't see another team taking him unless they're desperate.

By Jake Schenkman Just some quick notes on some goalie injuries and some possible extra starts. Doesn't seem like Bishop's injury is long term as the coach has said there's a shot he'll be back Tuesday.

By Jason Banks Happy Wednesday all, Shall we start on Pekka Rinne? How has this guy been?! Many were selling due to his hip issues which usually sound like a career killer, but if you were lucky enough to be at the last DobberHockey event, you would have known better and attempted to buy low. Justin Goldman explained the hip issue Rinne had been suffering and discussed how the procedure would actually make him more flexible and stronger in net.

By Jason Banks Happy December everyone, By now we are all into the eighth week of fantasy and it is time to start solving major team problems, there have been several moves in the past few days that could throw Band-Aids on your goaltending problems or create some. Up there with Josh Harding breaking his foot kicking a wall, Corey Crawford hurts his foot stumbling leaving a Rise Against concert.

Hello all, Jason Banks here, Dobber and co. have called me up to help watch over the world of netminding for fantasy poolies.

By Jake Schenkman So Fleury becomes the third youngest goalie to get to 300 wins. I can't see I saw that coming but good for him as this is a big accomplishment and he's having a fantastic year.

By Jake Schenkman Reminder that the Sabres-Rangers game that was scheduled for tonight has been postponed due to the storm in Buffalo. As of now, there has been no make up date announced.

Cam Talbot had 30 saves in a shutout win for the Rangers against Steve Mason and the Flyers. Mason could not be faulted at all in this one and actually kept it close for the most part.

By Jake Schenkman Talk about making your NHL debut in style. Troy Grosenick had a 45 save shutout in his NHL debut against Khudobin and the Hurricanes.
Nov 17th 2014, 12:31am EST
By Jake Schenkman - Rask brought the Bruins back in the win column with 33 saves over the Canes. Ward had a decent game, and while Khudobin will start today, Ward will be right back in next game.

We start off with the Varlamov and the Avs beating Lundqvist and the Rangers. I am kind of surprised with this as I thought the Rangers were turning it around and Lundqvist had his A game going but Varlamov was great in this one and pretty much stole the two points for the Avs.

By Jake Schenkman The Devils were led back in the win column by Schneider last night. After a couple bad games, he made at least four spectacular saves last night with helped them beat the Wild.
Nov 12th 2014, 9:19am EST
By Jake Schenkman Rask and the Bruins scored two late goals on Schneider in the second period to win this one. Schneider admittedly wasn't happy with his performance and there's a chance we see Kinkaid start tonight.

I posted this on Puck Daddy earlier today, but here is a snippet relative to goaltenders. Specifically - the struggling ones Cam Ward, John Gibson, Steve Mason and Semyon Varlamov.

by Justin Goldman It has been a really fun start to the season when it comes to scouting backups and prospects. With 49 goalies appearing in games so far (you could say that's 19 backups), minutes have been really spread out in Week 1.

by Dobber For our new feature on Goalie Post, we've taken a page from DobberHockey and created a Ramblings. I'll weigh in with my thoughts, but you can also expect content from goalie expert Justin Goldman, as well as Goalie Post manager Jake (known as "smack" in the Forum).
