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 [...]
Ottawa and New Jersey were supposed to be playing tonight. Take a look on the waiver wire and see if any mid-tier players from either team were dropped as a result of the lighter week (and keep an eye out for Predators or Rangers players for the same reason). If you’re able to hold on [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss players who have surprised us with their goal-scoring ability this season. Chris Kreider Across the league, Leon Draisaitl and Alex Ovechkin are currently the only players with more goals than Chris Kreider. The Rangers winger is off to a red-hot start this year with 11 goals in his [...]
With a month of the season already in the books, there are plenty of updates with new names, as well as injured and underperforming players falling out. Truth be told, there could be more updates, but a month might not be enough of a sample size to determine a player’s true value. As you might [...]
We had the Hall of Fame inductions on Monday night, which means a light NHL slate. With congratulations to all the other inductees, it’s Jarome Iginla whom I want to talk about. It does suck to see him retire without a Stanley Cup, but I often wonder about his impact on hockey in general. I [...]
This week we are going to look at how each team in the West is doing on the power-play so far and how each team is allocating ice time. With the players, we are going to look at the percentage of power-play time and power-play points per 60 minutes. To put things in perspective, last [...]
Glass half-full or half-empty? That was the general theme of last week's column, when we looked at disappointing players where fantasy general managers could still hold on to some optimism that things will turn around. While researching that column, however, I found it's tough to be optimistic about everyone. There are plenty of players that, [...]
Heyyyyy… Kaapo Kakko’s alarm finally went off! Yep, the 2019 second overall draft pick finally rolled out of bed and started the 2021-22 NHL season on Sunday, picking up his first assist of the campaign in the middle of the second period…and then adding his first goal of the season early in the third. Arguably [...]
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: Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean, Michael Amato, and Dobber ___ 1. It has been a remarkable start to the season for Anaheim's Troy Terry, perhaps one of their forgotten prospects. While not a [...]
Well folks, we’re midway through November, and by now we’ve seen a decent sample size across the board from all teams and players. A couple weeks ago I was preaching patience and I highlighted a few players who it would be wise to give some more time. No more mister nice guy though. Eventually in [...]
