The Midseason Guide, you can buy it here, re-released Friday with some updates to prep you for this weekend's midseason draft. Please note - there may be some website interruptions over the next 48 hours, possibly for as long as an hour as we migrate to a new server. If everything goes as [...]
The picks are coming a little early this week as I’m heading down to watch the Wild – Avs game Friday night, which means I have to drop my dogs off at my in-laws Thursday evening. Thunder (the brown/black mutt) isn’t feeling so well, so her sister Caribou (black lab) has been called up on an emergency one game basis from juniors. The best part about the trip down to St. Paul is making my wife (a beloved Leafs fan) wear my Nordiques jersey! Although the highlight of the weekend for me will be the hockey game, for my wife it’ll probably be a visit to IKEA the following day... Anyways, let’s hope to some fortunate bounces to start 2011 off on the right foot!
Fantasy Impact: The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired Fabian Brunnstrom from the Dallas Stars.
Just like in weeks five and 10, I will be giving an analysis on team’s defensive tendencies at home versus on the road.
Just pulled the trigger on a fairly large trade in one of my keeper leagues. If you have a few minutes check out my analysis here. The Midseason Guide, you can buy it here, re-released this morning with some updates to prep you for this weekend's midseason draft. Ryan Suter is plus-13 [...]
Dobber here, Angus will breakdown the Stefanovich for Brunnstrom deal further. But what concerns me about Fabio is that he is being outscored in the AHL by teammates Greg Rallo (undrafted) and Travis Morin (career minor leaguer). On the plus side, he did score a hat trick at the NHL level in his debut. [...]
Where a player was drafted does not guarantee NHL success. There are many, many factors that determine how well a player performs on hockey's highest stage. First round picks typically have the talent, but don't get a free pass. They still need to put in the effort and show elite hockey sense if they are to be successful at the NHL level.
Many readers like to belittle Scott Gomez for his lack of production, but more so for that grossly bloated compensation package compliments of Glen Sather.
The Midseason Guide, you can buy it here, was re-released last night. I added a KHL article, as well as a one-page addendum with some updates and notes. Thursday night I will upload it one more time with added updates to the addendum. The Leafs have won four in a row. Did you [...]
Last week, Brett Lemon wrote an article regarding Bloom’s simple hierarchical system of categorizing cognitive learning and how it related to the process we all need to go through in order to experience success in fantasy hockey. By surfing TSN.ca, the Dobber website, Yahoo! player blurbs or Rotoworld, you’re being exposed to the “remembering” level. By consistently following DobberHockey and reading the mid-season guide you’re introduced to the “understanding” level. (Still love the “Ma’s Laws” by the way)
The Midseason Guide - buy it here - has been updated through today. I will update it one more time Thursday night. Today's update: a KHL article on potential players coming over, and a one-page addendum covering all the hot streaks/injuries and Wolski trades that have happened in the past week. Kyle Wellwood [...]
