Backstrom joins Peter Stastny and Wayne Gretzky as the only players to have 55 assists in each of their first three seasons in the NHL. Impressive stuff. His OT winner was a thing of beauty as well. I still have FOUR tickets left to this amazing DobberHockey event. Details are outlined neatly (including some [...]
Never count a player out just because he was never drafted. The NHL draft lists are full of players who have never amounted to anything. Getting drafted is merely the beginning of a journey to the NHL. Some players who are drafted take it as a sign to coast, and conversely those who aren’t drafted often become determined to prove that NHL teams were wrong to pass on them.
This week, we’ll look at two such players – Roman Cervenka of the Czech Republic and Cory Conacher, a Canadian speedster playing in the NCAA.
You may wanna get on board with Notch this week - he's been on fire all season long. Here's his take on Saturday's games...
Keith Yandle is on pace for close to 40 points this season for the Coyotes. He has upside to be a consistent 55-60 point defenseman every season (yep, you read that right). Yandle is a huge reason why Phoenix is currently holding down a playoff spot comfortably. In Yandle's last (or only, whichever you [...]
Elliotte Friedman noted this a few days ago - if things go as expected during the first round of the OHL playoffs, Tyler Seguin and Taylor Hall will face off in round two. You can bet the Oilers and Bruins will be watching that series very, very closely. As many as six NHL teams [...]
A tough decision can be made easier with these charts showing you the best five and worst five schedules for upcoming seven-day periods. Some of you used them last year but for the benefit of new readers here is a refresher. The number next to the team indicates the 'multiplier' to use on a player's point-per-game pace to give you an idea how many points to expect for that week.
As of next Monday, there will be four weeks left in the NHL regular season. And during those final four weeks, we will be running some contests here at DobberHockey. Each week, there will be a list of players provided with a specific scoring system. The entrant with the most points at the end of each week will receive an autographed 8x10 photo (Ribeiro, Sullivan, Boyes, or Spezza). To reward our loyal DobberHockey members, those with over 1000 posts on the forums will be given a slight advantage. However, if you make a shrewd selection, it won’t matter if your post count is low.
Dobber here. Just an update on the Fantasy Prospects List. I've been working around the clock on the update and I'm up to Phoenix (alphabetically). It may not get up until tomorrow, though. With 700 prospects to track, I usually make notes throughout the month and then scan through it over a few hours on [...]
Contrary to the letter put out on February 12 by the owners of a certain Florida franchise, I think the future (and that includes next season) is very bright for the core of this team. While change is almost always needed from year to year, "significant change" may not be.
Every year, fantasy managers try to guess which Russian players will cross the pond. And despite the recent issues with NHL/KHL ties, a number of players are expected to report. Two players to watch are Maxim Goncharov and Igor Makarov.
