Rise & Grind: Thursday, October 13th
Rise & Grind RotoGrinders, we’re back with another issue of your favorite morning article. This is where you learn what you did and did not miss from yesterday, and get educated about what’s going down today in daily fantasy sports.
We have a DFS sport that has been dormant for some time in the lobby; it’s NHL folks. Is there anything more fun than learning a new daily fantasy sport? I think not. So, get your hockey pants on and join us with some new shows headlined by the one, the only, Pepsi7, as well as all the NFL mayhem your heart can deal with.
A lot to get to, so let’s get started.
NHL is back!
With all the preparation for the upcoming NFL week, you probably didn’t realize that hockey is back in our lives. Yes, the one with a puck, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. NBA is still two weeks and change away, so why not get to know your new neighbor that is back for a few months in the meantime?
If your excuse is it’s because you don’t have any knowledge of the sport, let me stop you right there. RotoGrinders is here to help you throughout the entire season with Premium Incentives content, led by Pepsi7, and Daily Marketplace NHL Opening Faceoff content, led by the four NHL marksmen, JayWilly, MBerkowi, ColinWDrew, and MaxEErnst. With their help, your wallet will be fully stocked once NBA rolls back around.
