Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. *** In case you missed it, check out Part One (AHL & KHL) and Part Two (SHL & Liiga) of this mini-series. *** Goals are always at a premium in fantasy. [...]
Another big week in the books last week for our picks here at Dobber Hockey with a solid 5-1 showing only a week ago, taking our overall Saturday record to a very respectable 53-37-0 on the 2023-24 NHL season. Not many super Saturdays left to stack up this regular season loot, but with 14 games [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s weekend! And for fantasy hockey players, we are down to the last week, or maybe the last two days of your league before playoffs begin for about half of us. We start looking at specific opponents, hoping we get two more points than the next guy, or maybe one more category. At [...]
If you streamed Laurent Brossoit on Friday, he got the job done for you and then some. Brossoit made 21 saves as the Jets easily handled Anaheim by a score of 6-0. Brossoit has now posted shutouts in back-to-back games and has five consecutive wins and quality starts. It would behoove the Jets to keep [...]
It is that time of year again. If you are still in competitive matchups, congrats. We don’t really have the luxury of looking long term anymore. For most folks, it is win or go home at this point. When the timeline is one week a simple hot streak can make or break the matchup. Given [...]
As we head into the final month of the regular season, player rankings remain fairly settled. That is why you won’t see many changes again this month, particularly at the top. The stat categories for the Roto Rankings are as follows: Goals, Assists, Special Teams Points, Shots on Goal, Penalty Minutes, Hits, and Blocked Shots. [...]
Alright everyone, its fantasy playoffs time starting next week, or even this week for some. If your league was like mine this season, there were a couple teams at the top, a log jam in the middle, then three at the bottom that were eliminated sometime around American Thanksgiving. For this upcoming week we have [...]
If this is a fantasy playoff week for you, Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov are doing everything possible to help you (or your opponent) win, even though the Lightning are playing only two games this week. Point was involved in all six of the Lightning’s goals on Thursday, scoring three of them and assisting on [...]
As the NHL season unfolds, fantasy hockey managers are on a perpetual quest for strategies that can give them the edge in their leagues. While the allure of goals, assists, and goaltending victories often dominates drafting strategies, the savviest of managers know the value of digging deeper. Our previous analysis ventured into the less trodden [...]
Welcome back my CapFriendlies! We were given a trade deadline gift this season as there was plenty of player movement up until the last minute before the deadline. Literally. I think a week removed, the Flames still may have a trade pending out there somewhere, and there are rumors still floating around about Jeremy Swayman [...]
