The NHL is absolutely buzzing right now with no shortage of tantalizing storylines and fantasy angles to cover. At this point in the season, fantasy GMs off to slow starts will instinctively scramble to the waiver wire to try and make adjustments before things go too far off the rails. However, buyer beware, as simply [...]
We are going to look at some sell-high candidates from the Western Conference. I’m going to look at shooting percentage, PDO and 5on5 shooting percentage (5on5%). It’s not that some of these players won’t get to the levels they are currently at some time in the future, but they will have a very difficult time [...]
Celebrating a birthday that equates his age with his jersey number, Leon Draisaitl had a hand in all of Edmonton’s goals en route to a 3-2 overtime victory over the Red Wings. #29 had a slow start to the season, posting just one point in his first three outings, but has since rebounded with nine [...]
Hello and welcome back to Geek of the Week! In this article, I will be examining some early Goalie performances, specifically their weekly consistency.

Couturier had hardly made an impact before Saturday, as he entered this [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. **** These young netminders are making waves as prospects and may even be on the verge of reaching the NHL, possibly as early as this season, depending on their team situations. I’m pulling [...]
Buckle up and here we go, my degenerate gambling friends. Welcome back inside the betting lab for the latest iteration of Saturday Picks here at Dobber Hockey. So far, so good, for the most part, with two weeks in the books as a 9-3 overall Saturday record has us feeling ready for a big day. [...]
The NHL schedule, in most of our fantasy leagues’ third week, continues to be predictable - not. Minnesota hasn’t lost in regulation, while Winnipeg hasn’t lost at all. The Nashville Predators took big steps over the off-season and haven’t put it fully together thus far. And if the season ended this morning, Toronto, Boston, Colorado, [...]
