Hello and welcome back to Geek of the Week! In this article, I’ll be taking a look under the hood at some underperformers through the first quarter of the season. I’ll examine their underlying metrics and give my opinion on their rest of season potential. A few underlying metrics I’ll examine are individual shooting percentage [...]
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, Brennan Des and Dobber — 1. A 120-41-23 record as Bruins head coach wasn't enough for Jim Montgomery to save his job. Yet NHL coaching is [...]
The St. Louis Blues have fired head coach Drew Bannister and replaced him with Jim Montgomery. Earlier this week, Montgomery was let go as the head coach of the Boston Bruins, so he was not out of work for very long. In spite of a 120-41-23 in 2+ seasons with the Bruins, Montgomery could not [...]
Kirill Kaprizov was a late scratch on Saturday afternoon due to a lower-body injury. Kaprizov briefly left a game against Edmonton earlier in the week after a knee-on-knee hit from Drake Caggiula, so the injury seems to be related to that. Since Kaprizov returned to that game, this injury seemed more day-to-day than one that [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. **** Having a multi-category player is a game-changer, and while this skill set can evolve over a player's career, stumbling upon a true multi-cat unicorn who fills up the stats sheet and finds [...]
Good morning, all! Let’s have a Saturday here everyone – I love this slate today. Unfortunately, that means in all likelihood we’re about to get smashed in tournaments, because that’s been the trend so far this season on slates I like. On ones where it’s right before lock and I’m on the train back from [...]
We’re humming right along here at Dobber Hockey as our Saturday picks keep hitting with another positive week in the books and our eyes locked on today’s absolutely loaded 15-game NHL betting board. Once again, the kid-in-a-candy-store vibes are pulsating and we need to throw the gambling blinders on and hone in our favourite spots [...]
A 120-41-23 record as Bruins head coach wasn’t enough for Jim Montgomery to save his job. Yet NHL coaching is very much a “what have you done for me lately” business, and the Bruins’ season seemed to be spiraling in the wrong direction. Roster construction is certainly an issue, which is why Don Sweeney isn’t [...]
Welcome back everyone! We have American Thanksgiving week on the horizon, and I often refer to that week as a “sprint”, we’re going to have loaded slates four times next week with one light day and one day of no games, so it’s going to feel like a quick week of fantasy hockey. Let’s try [...]
This week we are going to run through a pretty classic exercise and look at a bunch of cold players and determine our level of general concern. Unfortunately, we will not exactly be answering the drop or not question as that really is going to depend on the categories of the league and not to [...]
