No matter how excellent we draft or how often we fleece our fellow general managers in trades, we often find ourselves scouring the waiver wire for help. This year appears to be worse than usual, at least so far. Not only do we have to deal with injuries, but Covid protocols are also forcing many [...]
It is Monday, and Mondays are usually reserved for Dobber. He had some other things to take care of, so he’ll return tomorrow, but you guys are stuck with me for today. We are nearly two weeks into the season and of course, all the samples are still too small for concrete determinations. All the [...]
As Week 2 is just about in the books, I figured it would be a good time to examine both some over-performers as well as under-performers and try to provide some insight as to what to do with said players. I find it’s such a delicate balance at the start of the season between being [...]
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. I was concerned in the offseason about Steven Stamkos having two short offseasons, given his injury history.

You’re probably had enough of COVID by now. Yet judging by the number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths still happening around the world, COVID hasn’t had enough of you.

Welcome back to The Journey, where we follow hockey prospects and their paths to the NHL, providing fantasy predictions and analysis along the way.

Week 1 in the NHL is officially in the books. As expected, this week’s action saw plenty of unpredictability from a betting perspective. Whether it be the red hot San Jose Sharks, the ice cold Montreal Canadiens, or the upstart Buffalo Sabres, there’s plenty of intriguing storylines to keep an eye on. Onto today’s tilts: [...]
The second Saturday of the NHL season has arrived and while last week was fun, we really had yet to see a majority of the teams in action. Headed into this week, things are starting to feel a little more normal. Well except for the fact that Buffalo is 3-1-0 and Colorado is 1-3-0. But [...]
Sidney Crosby might have to wait a while longer to make his season debut. He will not be ready for Saturday’s game and there is still no set return date. With Jeff Carter still in COVID protocol and also out for Saturday, Evan Rodrigues is now the first-line center for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Rodrigues skated [...]
So hands, please who drafted the Buffalo goalies? No? Your loss. The start of the season has given us some real surprises in net. The caveat here is of course we are dealing with one, two, and three-game samples for the most part. Most goalies in the league can pull off one good game every [...]
