Fantasy Daily Cheat Sheet: Nov. 1, 2016
November 1st, 2016 Yesterday was an NHL free day as Halloween took center stage and hockey action a back seat. The result is 12 games in the NHL on Tuesday and 24 of the 30 teams — about 552 players — battling it out in fantasy hockey action. Who should you pick? What games should you focus on? There are lots of ways to go, but below are some...
Will L.A.’s Defense Bounce Back in 2016-17?
August 18th, 2016 There was much to be desired on the Kings’ blue line a season ago. A team that had great talent and equally great expectations was left standing at the first round alter, forced to watch the rest of the playoffs from the luxury of their pacific homes.

February 12th, 2016 There’s a lot to like about this current edition of the Los Angeles Kings. Jonathan Quick’s still turning away pucks like a hostile bouncer in West Hollywood, the premier forwards are leading by example, and as evident in the team's 9-2 drubbing of the Boston Bruins, the scoring depth has never looked better in L.A.. Yes, it’s an...
