No. 41 - Blue Lines and Blues Net Nov 30, 2014

Show notes

The NHL season is at the quarter post, and as the initial wave of fast fantasy starters crests and heads for the trough, a new group readies to take their places in both NHL and fantasy lineups.The 41st edition of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast begins with fantasy hockey headlines, where Elan and Brian break down a key goalie injury and potential signing, the return(?) of a former fantasy main-stay in Detroit, a couple of newly healthy blue-liners in New York, line shuffling in Toronto, a struggling defenceman in Edmonton and an emerging tandem situation in Winnipeg.That's followed by putting some of the more interesting fantasy players of the last 7 days under the magnifying glass, and checking in on a handful of guys who are quietly seeing their fortunes turn for better and for worse. Minnesota's powerplay, Chicago's top six, and the top nine in Long Island all catch our attention. We also shout out a depth defenceman in a small market who isn't scoring but is making up for it in peripherals.Finally, the show wraps up with a look at a pair of players who may have made sense to have on your roster at Game 1, but probably don't belong there 20 games later.Players discussed on this week's show include Brian Elliott, Martin Brodeur, Stephen Weiss, Ryan McDonagh, Joffrey Lupul, Tyler Bozak, Nazem Kadri, Justin Schultz, Ondrej Pavelec, Michael Hutchinson, Marco Scandella, Alex Tanguay, Jiri Hudler, Matt Niskanen, Jason Zucker, Mikko Koivu, Nino Niederreiter, Ryan Strome, Nikolai Kulemin, Brandon Saad, Kris Versteeg, Michael Stone, Johnny Boychuk, Nail Yakupov and Damon Severson.If you enjoy the show, you can support us by becoming a patron of Keeping Karlsson.

No. 40 - Klinging to Hope Nov 24, 2014

Show notes

Elan is back and Brian never left, so that means we've once again got a full roster on this week's episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast.The last week has seen some significant line shuffling in Dallas and Pittsburgh, where a handful of depth guys are getting opportunities to step into scoring support roles. Elan also voices his concern about another elite goalie whose numbers have yet to fully recover at the 1/4 mark of the season, and wonders about whether a couple of low-scoring teams are finally turning the corner, and consequently, whether some players on these teams might be moving towards fantasy relevance.Brian brings attention to some high-frequency shooters, goalscorers, and a buy-low defenseman, and then presents twoplayers on opposite ends of their careers that have been questioned as snoozers in recent days and weeks. Players covered on this show include John Klingberg, Cody Eakin, Beau Bennett, Brandon Sutter, Patric Hornqvist, Tomas Tatar, Cam Atkinson, Gabriel Landeskog, Patrik Elias, Henrik Lundqvist, Mike Smith, Devan Dubnyk, Alex Killorn, Alex Pietrangelo, Alex Goligoski (lot of Alexes this week..), Pascal Dupuis, Nick Bjugstad, Jimmy Hayes, Vincent Trochek, Jussi Jokinen, Antoine Roussell, Jeff Carter, Matt Moulson, Boone Jenner, Brendan Gallagher, and more.If you enjoy the show, please check out our brand new Patreon group to learn how you can support Keeping Karlsson in a new way.

Bonus! On Winnipeg, with Garret Hohl Nov 21, 2014

Show notes

A secret: in our "Around the NHL" episode released this week, there was extra audio footage that was left on the cutting room floor. But then we kept tripping over it, so Brian finally picked it up and whipped it into podcast shape.On this bonus episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey podcast, we turn our attention to the Winnipeg Jets. Brian chats with Arctice Ice Hockey editor and Hockey-Graphs.com contributor Garret Hohl about the sustainability of Winnipeg's goaltending situation, the conspicuous lack of goal-scoring from their core group, and the (in)stability of their blue-line.Players discussed in this bonus episode include Ondrej Pavelec, Michael Hutchinson, Evander Kane, Blake Wheeler, Mark Scheifele, Mathieu Perreault, Dustin Byfuglien, Zach Bogosian, Jacob Trouba, Tobias Enstrom, and more.If you enjoy the show, please check out our brand new Patreon group to learn how you can support Keeping Karlsson in a new way.

And there are a couple players that poolies are down on right now, but you shouldn't be; likewise, there are others who many are feeling good about, but we'll let you know whether or not that fuzzy feeling is warranted, particularly for one player on whom you should absolutely not sell high.We also give you a couple buy-low and sell-high goalie candidates and explain the reasoning to do so by going beyond their current boxcars.Headlines, injuries, line changes, outjuries, players of note, and a snoozer to boot-- it's another info-packed edition of the show that'll give you the edge you need to stay atop your fantasy league.Players mentioned in this episode include Vladimir Tarasenko, Marian Gaborik, Brandon Saad, Cory Franklin Schneider, Tanner Pearson, Carl Soderberg, Elias Lindholm, Marcus Johansson, Sergei Gonchar, Evgeni Kuznetsov, Roberto Luongo, Wayne Simmonds, Mikael Granlund, Tomas Vanek, Elias Lindholm, Mark Giordano, Darcy Kuemper, Justin Faulk, and more.If you enjoy the show, please check out our brand new Patreon group to learn how you can support us in a new way.

No. 37 - Let's Make the Headlines Nov 03, 2014

Show notes

This week's episode of Keeping Karlsson begins with headlines, followed by headlines, and then we enter into a headlines segment before finishing it off with players of note and our patented lightning round.We mention a goalie on whom the bravest poolies will think about selling high, a much-maligned star who will absolutely break out of an uncharacteristic slump, a buzzy top prospect that's quickly hit a wall, a young line whose members are all producing at an impressive rate, budding(?) goalie controversies, and a couple good candidates to fill a low-stakes rotating roster spot on your fantasy team. Brian also cops to a possible team-management mistake, though that's shortly after a very firm and righteous told-you-so regarding one of our most-queried about players on twitter this week.Players talked about on this week's show include Alex Ovechkin, Derek Stepan, Ryan McDonagh, Ryan Callahan, Jonathan Drouin, Nikita Kucherov, Dany Heatley, James Wisniewski, Nick Foligno, Curtis McElhinney, James Neal, Mike Ribeiro, Mikhail Grabovski, Ray Emery, Steve Mason, Chad Johnson, Jaroslav Halak, Ryan Miller, Nazem Kadri, Daniel Winnik, Johnny Gaudreau, and Michael Raffl.If you enjoy the show, please check out our brand new Patreon group to learn how you can support us in a new way.

No. 36 - (Don't) Believe the Hype Oct 27, 2014

Show notes

On this week's episode, Elan and Brian cut through the hype on several overachievers, and get as close as they ever do to buying into the hype that surrounds one newly-minted NHLer.Starting off with a look at this weeks injuries and outjuries, we focus in on one particular lineup returnee climbing his team's depth chart faster than expected at the cost of one of his teammates, and draw attention to a defenceman who could get a chance to suddenly step into a new and important role. We also address the sadly difficult question of which team's players you need to avoid the most.Listen on to find out which player was the most frequent topic in our Twitter mentions this week, which player isn't taking advantage of a plum line assignment, which goalie is redeeming himself early on, and which players have landed themselves on our first Keeping Karlsson-patented Snoozers list of 2014-15.Players covered on this episode include Johnny Boychuk, Bobby Ryan, Linden Vey, Pekka Rinne, Semyon Varlamov, Lubomir Visnovsky, Zdeno Chara, Cory Conacher, Dustin Brown, Bobby Ryan, Tomas Hertl, Anders Lee, Matthew Nieto, Jonathan Drouin, Tyler Toffoli, Dougie Hamilton, Nikolai Kulemin, and more..(And hey, psst... please check out our brand new Patreon group to learn how you can support the show in a new way.)If you enjoy the show, you can support us by telling a friend, subscribing to and reviewing Keeping Karlsson on iTunes, and following us on Twitter (@keepingkarlsson).
