I’m trying to evaluate two players who may fly under the radar heading into drafts this year but did put up solid numbers in the games they did play in 2023-23. First off, Alex Nylander, who was a revelation for Columbus in 23 games with them last season, scoring 11 goals and adding four assists. [...]
While we wait for the conclusion of the Cup Finals, we return to our MVP series. Today is the final installment of our skater portion. We have concluded the forwards and are moving on to defensemen. As a reminder here is some context for the data below this series. For the purposes of this article, [...]
The DobberHockey writers have made their picks for the Stanley Cup Final. You can check them out here. My personal pick was Edmonton in 6. This was a really difficult pick for me to make. Florida is a nasty team that will give the Oilers everything they can handle, and they’re favored for good reason. [...]

The Rangers and Stars will be watching the Stanley Cup Final on TV, as the Oilers and Panthers battle it out for the Stanley Cup. [...]
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 [...]
Ian Gooding should have our team’s Expert Picks out at some point today. My pick is Edmonton in seven. I think there will be a few games where each team takes over, with the Oil’s stars overwhelming Sergei Bobrovsky more often than not in the series. Home ice “advantage” and the Oilers’ historic penalty kill [...]
At this time of year, who doesn’t love an X-factor?Aside from it being up there in the realm of elite postseason-related jargon along with stranglehold, barnburner, and on-the-brink, it’s a term that regularly gets circulated during playoff competition due to the tendency of unsung heroes to make their mark when the lights are brightest.
