…o.k, so now what? There’s an old baseball broadcasting anecdote that goes something like this… —two broadcasters who’ve worked together for the entire season have just finished calling the last out of the last game of the year. One of the guys breaks down in tears after the game and the other says to him,Continue reading “The Fantasy Hockey Professor: Three on a Match”

The Fantasy Hockey Professor: Occam’s Razor
…in a nutshell and thinking out loud here…on paper… you’re probably gonna need a few extra minutes to get through this one…Lotta side trips coming up with, of course, the requisite complement of old school R&B standards, 80’s/90’s allusions, and classic film references in an attempt to add some levity and context to our fantasyContinue reading “The Fantasy Hockey Professor: Occam’s Razor”
The Fantasy Hockey Professor: All Due Respect
We’re gonna get it with some old school tunes as I look back at the past two weeks in fantasy hockey. My man Don Cornelius gets us going here with a coolness that would make any arena arrival-ee blush . It’s ok Katie. Go ahead and bar the door and let this big dog eat. Continue reading “The Fantasy Hockey Professor: All Due Respect”
The Fantasy Hockey Professor: A Tremendous Machine
…to this day, and from a much “simpler day,” this clip still brings a tear to my eye. Back then, this was a big deal even for a 10-year old like me. And it sort of reminds me of what’s ahead for so many of us as the fantasy hockey season, quicker than might beContinue reading “The Fantasy Hockey Professor: A Tremendous Machine”
The Fantasy Hockey Professor: OOTD
First of all, with the whole moniker thing. It’s a fit check. I need to reassure you that Fantasy Hockey Professor was not coined out of conceit. It’s just the combination of what I love, i.e, fantasy hockey + my other life, i.e, teaching. Besides, that’s what they call me whenever I’m toting golf bagsContinue reading “The Fantasy Hockey Professor: OOTD”
Fantasy Hockey Professor: Vuja De
You know, I think he was onto something here. …before we really get started though, as we like to say here in Jersey, “don’t get me started…” I’m gonna pretty much go full on Soprano State with this one. Readers of my articles (talkin’ to you), know that this isn’t necessarily the place toContinue reading “Fantasy Hockey Professor: Vuja De”
Fantasy Hockey Review: Backwards and In High Heels
Yeah, we dancin’. You don’t get many of these in this biz, so I’ll lead. But first… …It’s a singular thing Watson, but I find that a concentrated atmosphere helps a concentration of thought.–Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Under Pressure: One of the challenges of putting together an article for a fantasy hockeyContinue reading “Fantasy Hockey Review: Backwards and In High Heels”
Fantasy Hockey Week in Review: The Devil’s Workshop
…because at this point in the season, it’s where you’ll find the idle mind. As a sophomore in college in 1982, the new kids on the block came into my existence. Now I’d have a team I could call my own. A hockey team from Jersey… Little could I know that 41 years later, I’dContinue reading “Fantasy Hockey Week in Review: The Devil’s Workshop”
Week Seven in Fantasy Hockey Week 7: Playing Numbers
Today’s lesson? One in numbers from a reading teacher? And in (can’t believe I’m about to say this), this space? Uh…ya. Segue 101: Eins, zwei, drei, vier. Funf, sechs, sieben, acht… One two. There’s an argument to be made that Kraftwerk is one of the most influential bands in modern music history. Their song NumbersContinue reading “Week Seven in Fantasy Hockey Week 7: Playing Numbers”
Week Five In Fantasy Hockey: TCB
Veering off and… Setting the Hook Nick Suzuki: Sneaky solid so far but I’m sort of jilted from his late last season swoon song. Still hesitant to roster Blues players…but the schedule this week? Goalie Implosions. Across the board. And just so you know, Juuse you’re killing me. …and in an ode to The CreamContinue reading “Week Five In Fantasy Hockey: TCB”
