There are 12 games on the schedule for Saturday, and not to make any excuses but I’ve been hampered by a stomach virus the last 10 days, so here’s to keeping it short and sweet. With only eight wins collectively last week, here’s hoping Thunder and I break .500... if not, my column will still become more useful as you’ll just have to bet on the team’s that I don’t pick…
Happy Day Light Savings Time!
On November 7, 2005, I registered DobberHockey.com as a domain and immediately transferred my web page over to the new url, effectively launching what would become the best damn fantasy hockey site on the Internet. Let's take a look back at what the site looked like over the years, some of the older features, and how the community has grown. You'll laugh, you'll cry, but mostly you'll just shake your head and wonder "what the hell was Dobber thinking?". But it brought us to where we are today.
I almost feel like this is the beginning of the part two of the regular season for this article; the info that determines the score indicator that you see has went through the first update and is no longer based on some of our preseason projections. For the rest of the season, I will be updating this on a monthly basis, unless a major injury causes a drastic change in a certain team. Anyways, let’s get down to business.

In order to provide a balanced view, I'll be following the lead of my Western counterpart and look at the top two goalies from each of the 15 Eastern Conference teams. Each goaltender will be labeled Buy, Sell or Hold.
Lundqvist will start for the Rangers tonight. This isn't normally news, but he was hit in the neck by a shot in practice yesterday and his status was questionable. Latendresse is on the IR with a groin injury. The Wild need to make some new lines once he returns - sticking Koivu with [...]
While the echo of the sensational hat trick by Maxim Kitsyn still goes on, this week let’s try and track down Russian players in the CHL. Many players from the Motherland crossed the ocean this summer and it’s interesting to see how they are doing.
Excellent point by Mabus below - Kaberle was a star defenseman until Phaneuf arrived. Then he hit a wall. He's been only average since. Perhaps with Phaneuf out, Kaberle will return to his 60-point ways. Martin Hanzal will return to action tonight. Phaneuf's leg laceration is so deep that he will miss [...]
Back by popular demand - players who are earmarked for success. We’ll label the players as stand pat, buy or sell candidates based on what we’ve seen so far this campaign. We’ll begin this series by examining the two top goalies from each of the 15 Western Conference teams.
