Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas! It’s me, your unparalleled, unbeatable, and undeniably handsome first-place manager, sending you all tidings of comfort (for your inevitable loss) and joy (for my inevitable victory) this festive season.
As I sit here, atop the fantasy hockey mountain, looking down at all of you scrambling below, I can’t help but feel a bit like Santa Claus. Except, instead of giving out presents, I’m doling out lessons in fantasy hockey superiority. And trust me, my gift of dominance keeps on giving!
Let’s talk about my team, shall we? They’re like the reindeer to my Santa - except they’re all Rudolphs, leading the way with their bright, shiny stats. Meanwhile, your teams… well, they’re more like the Grinch’s dog, Max - trying so hard, but let’s face it, just not cut out for the big leagues.
I noticed some of you tried to make trades this season. Cute! It’s like watching elves trying to play basketball - a valiant effort but ultimately, futile. Remember, it’s not the size of the elf in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the elf. And your elves, my friends, are lacking.
Special shoutout to Steve K, who’s currently sitting in third place. Steve, you’re like the Christmas fruitcake of our league - nobody really knows how you got there, and frankly, nobody wants you there. But there you are!
To Alex, who’s languishing at the bottom - I’ve sent a special gift your way: a book titled “Fantasy Hockey for Dummies.” I would’ve sent you my autograph too, but I didn’t want to overwhelm you with too much greatness at once.
And to Mike, who had the audacity to challenge me last week - that loss must have stung like accidentally grabbing a hot Christmas light. Better luck next year! (Not really, we all know you don’t stand a chance.)
As for the rest of you, thank you for playing your part in making me look so good. It’s not easy being this talented, but your mediocre performances certainly help.
So, as we gather around our Christmas trees, let’s raise a glass of eggnog to me, your fantasy hockey overlord. May your holidays be merry, your spirits bright, and your fantasy teams… well, let’s just say, better luck next year.
Merry Christmas, and remember, there’s always next season (to try and fail to beat me again).
With all the humility I could muster (which, admittedly, isn’t much),

Jonathan Huberdeau entered the season with high hopes but has found himself struggling under a new climate in Calgary, leading to a surprising decrease in scoring and ice time. Once a dominant force on the ice, known for his exceptional playmaking abilities and setting records for assists, Huberdeau’s current form is a shadow of his past achievements. His creativity and skill have made him a fan favorite, and his record-setting assists as a left winger remain a highlight of his career.
Alex Ovechkin, often hailed as one of the greatest goal scorers in NHL history, has seen a significant dip in his scoring this season, with just six goals to his name in nearly half the season. This unexpected slump has left fans and analysts puzzled, as Ovechkin has consistently been a top performer throughout his career. Beyond hockey, Ovechkin’s interest in luxury and rare cars showcases his taste for the finer things in life, complementing his larger-than-life persona.
Patrik Laine, once compared to the likes of Auston Matthews during his sensational rookie season, now faces a challenging period, sidelined for six weeks and struggling to replicate his early-career form. Laine’s journey from a highly-touted rookie to his current struggles has been a topic of much discussion among fans and analysts alike. Off the ice, Laine’s passion for video games is well-known, and he often engages with fans by streaming his gameplay, showcasing a different side of his personality.
Matthew Tkachuk’s robust and physical style of play in the previous postseason seems to have taken a toll on his offensive output this year. Known for his gritty play and ability to get under the skin of opponents, Tkachuk’s reduced offensive numbers have been a point of concern. Hailing from a family deeply rooted in hockey, with both his father and brother playing in the NHL, Tkachuk’s legacy and style of play have always drawn attention.
Pierre Luc Dubois, once the center of a high-profile trade deal, is now finding himself being outshone by the very players he was traded for, including Gabe Vilardi. This season has been challenging for Dubois, who was expected to be a major asset for his team. His bilingual abilities, fluently speaking both English and French, have been an asset in his NHL journey, showcasing the importance of communication in the sport.
After a couple of impressive seasons, Igor Shesterkin is currently going through a rough patch, struggling to deliver the clutch saves he’s known for. His performance this season has been a topic of concern, especially given the high expectations set by his previous achievements. Off the ice, Shesterkin surprises many with his musical talent, particularly his skill at playing the piano, which adds another layer to his intriguing personality.
Andrei Svechnikov’s potential has been continuously hampered by injuries, leading to a frustrating inconsistency in his performances. His career, marked by moments of brilliance, is currently overshadowed by his struggle to maintain fitness. Svechnikov made headlines as the first player in the NHL to successfully execute a lacrosse-style goal, showcasing a level of skill and innovation that has left fans eagerly awaiting his full return to form.
Expected to be one of the breakout stars of the season, Trevor Zegras has not quite lived up to the lofty expectations set for him. His talent and potential are undeniable, but this season has been a challenging one for the young star. Zegras previously captured the hockey world’s attention with his innovative and skillful assist at the World Junior Championships, a moment that highlighted his creativity and potential as a future star in the NHL.
Jason Robertson entered this season with high expectations following a promising previous season, but his performance has been inconsistent and somewhat disappointing. His journey in the NHL has been closely watched, especially as he and his brother Nick represent a significant milestone as the first Filipino-American siblings in the league. Their presence in the NHL is a testament to the growing diversity in hockey and the expanding appeal of the sport.
Tristan Jarry, known for his reliability in goal, has faced an unexpected fluctuation in his performance, with moments of brilliance interspersed with lapses. This inconsistency has been a point of discussion among fans and experts alike. Jarry’s approach to the game is notable, often engaging in meditation before matches to enhance his focus and calm, a practice that sets him apart from many of his peers
