It could be just my leagues, but it seems like this season I am seeing more people cut bait with established players early on. Players who are cold for sure, but who we had some expectations of going into the season. For this week we are going to spend some time on cold players and [...]
Earlier than originally projected (but maybe not because he’s a fast healer), Brad Marchand made his season debut on Thursday. He didn’t disappoint, scoring two goals and adding an assist with four shots in a 5-1 win over Detroit. Marchand’s ADP on Yahoo was 117, so the early return means that he could provide some [...]
It’s the last big weekday slate of the week, and it’s time to find some winning prop bets. There are 10 games on the NHL slate tonight, which gives us plenty of options when searching for prop bets. It can be a little time-consuming to study every matchup, but it needs to be done to [...]
Happy Halloween! First, my “costume” for this past Tuesday, as an NHL prognosticator, didn’t win any contest but wasn’t totally torn in half either. Marc-Andre Fleury shined in Montreal (26 saves on 27 shots, 0.963 Sv%), and while neither Artemi Panarin nor Aleksander Barkov found the scoresheet, they totaled 12 shots on goal, so the [...]
Last week I discussed some of the bigger injuries that were occurring in the NHL and how you could take advantage of their injuries. This week we shall be looking at some of the bigger surprises that the NHL has seen so far, this upcoming season. Every season we have some players who are seemingly [...]
Being surprised by an early result is a response to expectations. What a person – in this case yours truly – expected to happen in the first few weeks of the season is directly related to what they were expecting to happen. In that sense, whether this is a surprise to each reader depends on [...]
Here we go again. A new NHL season has begun, and what does that mean? Our fantasy hockey teams are back in action! And also, for some reason, there are new Twitter NHL hashtags to memorize. I don't get it either. Why not stick to an easy-to-remember hashtag that fans will never forget? Keep them [...]
Here’s the latest injury news from across the NHL! If you’re looking for information about a specific player and don’t see their name in this article, there probably haven’t been any significant updates about their progress since our last article. If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on [...]
Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site and are also normally [...]
We are a couple of weeks into the season and there are definitely a few slow starters that I’m looking into, some that I certainly didn’t expect to have to be worrying about this early. Vitek Vanecek – Goalies are the definition of fickle, and that’s especially the case in small sample sizes. When that [...]
