Five Hole Fantasy Hockey Podcast

Hey guys, TJ here flying solo on this one. Dove into each Power Play in the Metro and talked about each player on each unit. Ranking them as we go along, giving projections for next year as well. Give it a listen and let us know what you think over @FHFHockey on Twitter, love to hear from you guys. If you’re digging it, please leave a review where you can! Feedback is always welcome. Love you guys!

Man i’m tired as a mug, been trying to get Dez to sleep for 3 nights now while my wife is away, we recorded this on Tuesday and it’s finally edited here at 1:30am early Friday morning. Gonna keep it short and sweet: We ranked defenseman. Give er a listen! Love you guys! Leave us a review if you love us back, and be social media friends with us @FHFHockey on Twitter and Instagram :)

Here it is, Part 2 of our forward rankings! With how deep center depth goes, we took it from a top 10 to a top 20 this time around. Not much more to say here guys, we ranked centers… it’s in the title. Kinda like when someone asks you how to make Cinnamon Sugar toast (It’s happened) and your response is “THE RECIPE IS THE NAME OF THE FOOD!” Anyway, enjoy it guys! If you guys have differing opinions feel free to reach out to us @FHFHockey on Twitter. If you’ve got time, head over to the comment section on whatever app you use and leave us a review! Next week we will be covering the Defenseman rankings, and following that: Goalies and Power Plays. We’ll rank the goalies, and talk a bit about each power play for the respective teams. Not so much ranking the power plays. Love you guys!

Alright folks, get your keyboards out, and get ready to get angry! It’s Rankings time!!! Everyone has their own idea of who is #1, and we’d love to hear your arguments. Different perspectives come at a premium nowadays, and maybe you know something we don’t. Actually it’s pretty likely. We count down the top 10 Left wings, and Right wings to get you ready for draft season which is right around the corner. Time to really buckle down and prep boys! We’ve got the Center Rankings coming right behind it, that episode will drop in the next few days. But for now please enjoy what we’ve put together for your listening pleasure. We are currently recruiting for the first annual FHF Listener leagues! If you would like to reserve a spot in one of our leagues get over to @FHFHockey on twitter and send me a tweet or a dm to reserve a spot. We will divvy up the leagues and figure out who prefers CATs and who prefers Points only deals. Love you Guys!

TJ and Zac go over their strategy for drafting, round by round. It changes up a little bit for Category leagues vs your points only leagues, so we try to touch on both. What should you focus on in the 1st round? When should you start to consider a goalie? What are the perfect rounds to start taking a chance on players that could break out as a sleeper? This episode is really open for discussion, everyone drafts differently. We’re curious to hear how your strategy differs from ours, and where we are screwing up! Let us know your strategy and scoring style over on Twitter if it’s different from ours @FHFHockey Love you guys!

For being regarded as a really boring draft class, we definitely had a good amount of drama. John Tavares, Ryan O’Reilly, James Van Riemsdyk, how does their new team change the landscape for them? For the team they left? To the Teammates they’re joining? TJ flies solo on this 4th of July Podcast, (America Day for all you non-US Listeners) and breaks down all of the implications each big move has. Power plays, Line Combo’s, Draft Value, and so on. Give it a listen and let us know what your opinion is @FHFHockey on twitter Love you Guys!

Immediate(ish) Reactions from the NHL Draft weekend. Real Quick Epi here boys, throwing all my thoughts onto the airwaves before Zac and I do the deep dive of the Draft and the Trades early next week. Until then: This epi was designed to give a real quick take on who I think will make an impact in the NHL next year out of the draft, another quick take on the trades from these past couple weeks and all of their fantasy implications. Enjoy a random Sunday 15 minute episode! Love you guys

So i’ve been sitting on this episode for over a week now, and finally got around to editing it. I will have a short solo Draft Reaction episode out on Saturday, breaking down anymore trades, and the first round. Zac and I will be back at it early this week to dive into the draft a bit more, and give reactions to the Domi/Galchenyuk trade and the Hoffman landing spot. Maybe there will be more trades, we think so. This Episode we talk about guys who performed way out of their wheelhouse last year, and are due to see a setback this upcoming year. Don’t get fooled come draft day! Who are the top candidates for regression going forward? Grab some whiskey and find out. Alright guys, see you next time, love ya’s. @FHFHockey

In this week’s episode, we decide to go through a list of players we think are due for a bounce back year. Some big names, some middle of the road guys, and give a nice drunken take on how they sucked this year and it hurt our feelings. Zac lets it all out about EK65, TJ cusses out Cam Talbot, its a rip roaring good time. If your bounce back player list differs from ours, tweet at us @FHFHockey and we’ll give a quick take on your player next week when we tackle Regression and Sustainability of some over performing players. If you have a minute, get on over to the ratings page of wherever you’re listening from and give us a nice review! It makes us feel good on the inside. Love you guys!

We know it’s way too early to be grading goalies for next year, but out of any position we think the Tendys may be the easiest to rank. Maybe… We dive into each team, their starters, backups, and possible time shares next year based on this years performances which are barely out of the rearview. Playoff performances are taken into account as well, i.e. Pekka Rinne… The plan was to get sh!#faced and argue over lists and rankings, and it was a success! Give it a listen, and @ us on Twitter (@FHFHockey) to let us know how your top 5/top 10 differs from ours, and what your opinions are on Fantasy Goalies next year. We will have a more official goalie ranking epi later on in the year when the dust has settled on the UFA window and each team starts to set themselves in stone. Don’t forget to leave us a review and an angry tweet about how stupid we are! Love you guys!

Zac is back and we are back to business as usual! Kind of. To be honest here boys we barely talk about Fantasy Hockey. It’s basically an hour of me and Zac shooting the shit and getting back into it. We treated this episode as a test run, as we’ve never done the video call podcast thing. Huge thanks to the guys @KeepingKarlsson for walking me through the process to get the video jawn up and running. I don’t want to discount the episode, we do talk some hockey. The thing is most Fantasy Hockey seasons are over, and it’s way too early to start talking drafts or NHL Entry projections or what have you. So just treat this entire episode like the intro to the Roto Show, where it takes an hour or so to get into the content, and next weeks show will be the meat and potatoes eh? (Winky Face/Kissy Face) Love you guys. This episode was researched with help from Tito’s Vodka.

Championships are either over or smack dab in the middle! I can’t tell if I’m stress drinking or if its just habitual. Crack one open and get all the info you can to win the week. I’m still surprised that Malkin and Letang are still playing! No one is really being sat to rest yet so lets keep on crossing our fingers boys and get into it. Today I’m going to go through day by day with the back to back goalie starts, Daily streamer bit, for hits PIMs, Blocks, and points. Who do you guys think is more handsome than Tom Wilson? Leon Draisaitl? Tyler Seguin? I dunno man, I think Wilsons got the Hart-Throb trophy. It’d be pretty wicked if you guys could give us a rating on iTunes, and subscribe if you’re diggin’ it. We have tons of stuff planned for the summer, and plan to keep things going. Give us a follow on social media, @FHFHockey on both twitter and Instagram. We’re there and happy to interact and answer any questions y’all got. Love you guys!

Holy Hell Ryan Donato! Can’t wait until his “New Player Waiver” Status is up? Kill some time with this epi. The hangover is finally gone since Zac’s visit last week, and on a blizzardy-ass Wednesday I finally got around to blowing through a 30 minute episode. Took me 3 hours to write the outline, and apparently I can read 5000 words in 30 minutes… so thats discouraging! But F#$% me right?! It’s goddamn Fantasy Hockey Playoffs! Shut up and Give me the tips! Screw it! It’s only 30 minutes long, it’ll take you half that time to read a “Well thought out description” just F@#!in listen to it while you’re poopin and get on with your day. Love yas! I’m drunk.

This week we go over the notable injuries, returns and line changes as a result of said injuries. We also touch on back to back for your goalie starts, the weekly schedule and whos got it soft and whos got it hard. Especially now more than ever the Daily Streamer bit is worth tapping into, as some of you are already into your playoffs, and some of you are making that push for them. We touch on all the big trades that went down and how they shook out with a decent sample size to look at. See how the new players are fitting in, where they fit in in the lineup etc. Be sure to tune in next week, Zac will be back for a short time. We will be going to the Flyers/Golden Knights game monday, and will have a FHFH pod for you guys. So stock up on Whiskey, we’ll be doing some day drinking and shit talking. Love you guys!

For those of us that skip the last week of regulation and run playoffs the four weeks prior to that, the same treatment. Stay tuned next week as TJ goes more in depth into the playoff picture highlighting which teams have the best schedule week by week, as far as ‘off-nights’ and easier matchups overall.
