Whois & Analysis for dailyfaceoff.com

Fantasy hockey is a form of fantasy sport where players build a team that competes with other players who do the same, based on the statistics generated by professional hockey players or teams.

The majority of fantasy hockey pools are based on the teams and players of the National Hockey League (NHL).

The National Hockey League (NHL) is a professional ice hockey league currently composed of 30 teams – 23 in the United States and 7 in Canada – with a 31st team in Las Vegas scheduled to begin play in the 2017–18 season.

Headquartered in New York City, the NHL is considered to be the premier professional ice hockey league in the world, and one of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada.

The Stanley Cup, the oldest professional sports trophy in North America, is awarded annually to the league playoff champion at the end of each season.

A face-off is the method used to begin play in ice hockey and some other sports.

The two teams line up in opposition to each other, and the opposing skaters attempt to gain control of the puck after it is dropped between their sticks by an official.

Face-offs are generally handled by centres, although some wingers handle face-offs and very rarely, some defensemen as well.

One of the referees drops the puck at centre ice to start each period and following the scoring of a goal.

The linesmen are responsible for all other face-offs.

A blog (a truncation of the expression weblog) is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries ("posts").

Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.

Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or topic.

In the 2010s, "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and sometimes professionally edited.

MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, advocacy groups, and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic.

The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into the news media.

Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

In ice hockey, the goaltender is the player responsible for preventing the hockey puck from entering their team's net, thus preventing the opposing team from scoring.

The goaltender usually plays in or near the area in front of the net called the goal crease (often referred to simply as the crease or the net).

Goaltenders tend to stay at or beyond the top of the crease to cut down on the angle of shots.

In today's age of goaltending there are two common styles, butterfly and hybrid (hybrid is a mix of the traditional stand-up style and butterfly technique).

Because of the power of shots, the goaltender wears special equipment designed to protect the body from direct impact.

The goalie is one of the most valuable players on the ice, as their performance can greatly change the outcome or score of the game.

One-on-one situations, such as breakaways and shootouts, have the tendency to highlight a goaltender's pure skill, or lack thereof.

Only one goaltender is allowed to be on the ice for each team at any given time.
