Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]
The Montreal Canadiens live to fight another day, and that means we aren’t in full offseason mode quite yet. However, game four already covered in yesterday’s Ramblings, and there really isn’t a huge amount of fantasy relevant discussion points to suck out of a Stanley Cup Final series. Josh Anderson is good for now, especially [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll look at players that struggled to adjust to new surroundings in 2021. This includes players that joined new teams ahead of the regular season, as well as those that were traded during the year. You’ve probably heard it again and again, but the 2021 campaign really was a year [...]
We had our first real barn-burner of the Stanley Cup Final as the Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens traded goals to get us a 2-2 game and our first overtime. Josh Anderson started the scoring, finishing a beautiful feed from Nick Suzuki, while Pat Maroon tied the game with just over six minutes left [...]
Nashville - Matt Duchene You could easily list Ryan Johansen and his seven goals and 22 points (0.46 pts/game) in 48 games or the recently traded Viktor Arvidsson and his 10 goals and 25 points (0.50) in 50 games but I’m going to go with Matt Duchene. Duchene was coming off of a pretty significant [...]
Although the playoffs have no bearing on next season’s production, that doesn’t stop fantasy general managers from overvaluing players based on the postseason. A great postseason makes many believe that a small sample size can translate to a full season next year. Look no further than last season. Anton Khudobin was a higher pick this [...]
As Dobber polishes up the 15th edition of the Fantasy Prospects Report – it is available for Download this coming Saturday – I’ll be pinch-hitting today. With a rare two-night break from the Stanley Cup Finals, there isn’t much hockey to discuss from Saturday or Sunday. It’s hard to believe that we could be just [...]
Every Sunday, we share 21 Fantasy Rambles from our writers at DobberHockey. These thoughts are curated from the past week's ‘Daily Ramblings’. Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean, and Dobber ___ 1.

Happy Fourth of July to all of our American friends! Here are the top Frozen Tools searches for the past week: https://twitter.com/FrozenTools/status/1410657496642080771 The majority of these players are popular searches because they are involved in the Stanley Cup Final, so you’re probably hearing enough about them from other sources. I’ll discuss the other three, who [...]
The clock is close to striking midnight on the Cinderella Canadiens. The balance of play might not be indicating that the Habs are being dominated, as with a little more luck they could down only 2-1 or maybe even up 2-1. However, Tampa has proven throughout the playoffs that they can win any type of [...]
