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.

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.

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?

Week Four in Fantasy Hockey: Swiss Cheese and Deviled Eggs
Hang around here long enough and you’ve probably picked up on the idea that there’ll be either a classic film reference and or a musical interlude. For a fantasy hockey piece?! Uh…ya. For this article, I’m gonna have to ask you to please do the following: 1. Find a quiet place. 2. Click this linkContinue reading “Week Four in Fantasy Hockey: Swiss Cheese and Deviled Eggs”
Week Three in Fantasy Hockey: Love TK(‘s)O
…Told myself time and time again, This time I’m gonna win… What is it they say? The best offense is a good defense? Something like that. Going into Week Three of the Fantasy Hockey season, many of us were confronted with another somewhat disjointed schedule from a streaming perspective. It seems like I just haven’tContinue reading “Week Three in Fantasy Hockey: Love TK(‘s)O”
