On Saturday, Team USA announced its roster for the World Juniors. Do you think this roster can knock off the host Canada? Looks like a solid group of forwards, especially on right wing. https://twitter.com/usahockey/status/1337774288393342976 One notable omission is Leafs top prospect Nick Robertson, who will be staying in Toronto to attend Leafs camp. Dave Hall [...]
Welcome back. Over the past couple of weeks, I have focused on Dobber’s rankings lists, as I know fantasy draft season is well upon us. So far, I have covered goalies and defenders. If you missed them, make sure to check them out here: GoaltendersDefencemen This week, I will be covering the forward group. I [...]
I find this NHL realignment for COVID topic very interesting. For starters, it’s brought up the idea of a permanent Canadian division. I’ve gone on record as saying that I’m against it permanently for travel reasons, but I’d love to see it play out this season only. It’ll be like Hockey Day in Canada – [...]
With the NHL start date of January 13th announced let’s turn our attention to projections. Obviously, make sure you pick up the Dobber Guide, but if you want to do some of your own there are a few stats that might help in that journey. For the next few articles, we are going to take [...]
As we barrel towards a (hopeful) mid-January NHL start, the previews are rolling in. While I would recommend buying the 2020 Dobber Hockey Guide because that is everything we talk about across the site and a whole lot more all in on place, we’re here to help the people that don’t buy it as well. [...]
With news that the NHL is making progress on returning, we move on to week four of our buy/sell series. Up next, we have some bubble teams that are hoping their offseason moves will turn out to be more effective than just shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. Let’s get back to it with [...]
Well, I figured it was time to start projections, seeing as there is a lot of chatter the NHL season will begin in about five weeks’ time. It was a wild, wild trip just briefly going back over stats from 2019-20. Remember that it’ll be at least 10 months between the end of last season [...]
Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Here though, instead of there being three bowls of porridge I'm covering three skaters and declaring one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a [...]
We will have NHL hockey in 2021!* *probably. Reports from all over the insider’s web indicate that the NHL and the Union have agreed not to fiddle with the financial aspect of the return to play. This was always going to be the major potential roadblock. Players, unsurprisingly, want what they negotiated in the CBA. [...]
As the 2020-21 season approaches – we may not have a start date but by definition, we’re one day closer to the season starting – it’s worth thinking about what a shortened season will bring. We are lucky in that we had a shortened season seven years ago to refer to, at any rate. One [...]
