The pet store - you know the one. The one that you somehow hit up every time you’re at the mall. I’m guilty, too. You’re not alone. I blame my wife, but who’s kidding who? I’m a sucker for puppies. And then came the day. Two weeks ago, I got roped into buying a beagle puppy. Her name is Ruby. I love animals more than anyone, but Ruby has the Lord to thank that I don’t own a firearm.
First let me start by congratulating Dobber on five great years of providing the best Fantasy Hockey Resource available. What started as a dirty thought in Dobber’s mind has evolved into a virtual thesaurus of fantasy geek gold, and I’m proud to say that in some small way I helped contribute to the humble beginnings and also believe my departure had led to many less complaints over articles that were less than politically correct.
Five years ago, on this date, I registered dobberhockey.com, moved the files over from a rather feeble webpage, and launched what would eventually be the site you see before you! Lots of prizes will continue to be won and I will have more announcements as well. I'll be dragging out the hype on this [...]
I tried unsuccessfully this summer to get Kyle Palmieri in my keeper league. He was available cheaply, but I didn’t act quickly enough and he got tossed back into our pool of free agents and re-drafted. I was just a little disappointed that I missed out, but that disappointment has grown as he’s got off to an excellent start to his pro career. Palmieri scored his first goal in the NHL against Tampa Bay on Wednesday, November 3.
Correct answer was Bernier/Wellwood. Congrats and thanks for all of the entries! Enjoy the games tonight!

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.
