The final week of NHL action is almost upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with a contest? The entrant with the most points at the end of the week running from April 5 until April 11 will receive a signed 8x10 photograph of Dallas Star captain and Team Canada gold medalist Brenden Morrow. To reward our loyal DobberHockey members, those with over 1000 posts on the forums will be given a slight advantage in winning. However, if you make a shrewd selection this week, it won’t matter if you don’t even post at all.

From Fluto Shinzawa: "The Bruins have signed Joe Colborne and Jordan Caron, their most recent first-round picks, to three-year, entry-level contracts. Also in the mix are Michael Hutchinson and Steve Kampfer. Colborne, Kampfer, and Max Sauve (already under contract) will join Providence on amateur tryout contracts." Colborne is the key here and his presense [...]

Lessons Learned: If Gretzky was a Hockey Poolie

Even after all these years, I still love Wayne Gretzky. While I certainly have no complaints about today’s stars, Gretz occupies a special spot in my hockey heart. One of my favourite descriptions of Gretzky’s hockey prowess was uttered by, of all people, a Russian. “He appears out of no where. He passes to no one. And a goal is scored.” We can thank urbane Soviet coach, Igor Dmitriev for that haunting, and accurate piece of hockey poetry.

Daniel Carcillo has been suspended for two games. That opens up even more ice time for Ville Leino to prove himself. It's a small window to determine a career, but that's what we're talkin about here. The Pens have signed Kris Letang to a four-year deal worth $14 million. I think Letang will be [...]

Active and Passive Goaltending

Before every NHL regular season comes to an end, I like to reflect on the progression of goaltending from a league wide perspective, as compared to this point last year. It’s a good way to formulate a solid scope of what we might expect in the playoffs, while also taking a snapshot of the goaltending position, one that constantly evolves.

Mike Ribeiro will be a healthy scratch for the Stars tonight. He is being benched for "disciplinary reasons" as he missed a team meeting on Sunday. The Leafs have now made their splash into NCAA free agency - you knew it was coming. They signed 6-5 power forward Brady Irwin. The 23-year-old led the [...]

Sabres Scoring at the Perfect Time

By Dobber Sports|2010-03-28T18:57:04-04:00March 28th, 2010|The Dobotomy|

Sabres

The Buffalo Sabres have been solid when it comes to defense this season, but as the season winds down they seem to have found the other element of the game of hockey – offense. With Ryan Miller’s MVP-type season obviously the main – check that, “only” – reason that the Sabres rule their division, there have been some concerns over their firepower. Another eight games of this new offense and all fears should be washed away.

Notorious for his strong second halves, Derek Roy's four points last night give him 20 in his last 17. Jason Pominville has 14 in his last 10. Tim Connolly finally missed his first game of the season with a lower body injury (foot). Consider him day-to-day ...and our world has untilted itself again. [...]

Subban better suited for PP than PK

By Ryan Van Horne|2015-07-24T10:45:06-04:00March 27th, 2010|The Journey|

PK Subban

When you think of the ideal top pairing defenceman, you think of a guy that you can put out in any situation – whether you need a goal or to shutdown the other team. P.K. Subban (the P.K. stands for Pernell Karl, by the way) has the offensive skills that you can’t teach. Luckily, the defensive skills that he lacks are skills that you can learn – with a little effort and good coaching.

Dobber jumping on briefly to promote a worthy cause. There is a groundswell of support for honoring Pat Burns by getting him into the Hall of Fame while he is still around to enjoy the honor. I don't know if you have seen Burns lately, but when he recently went to a ceremony unveiling [...]
