The Ultimate Fantasy Pool – Vegas Edition

By Dobber Sports|2011-08-17T02:06:51-04:00August 17th, 2011|z-Archives (other articles)|

In a little under four weeks, I’ll be heading off to Vegas for some fun. One reason I am heading down is to meet up with several members of the Ultimate Fantasy Pool – a keeper league that uses head-to-head scoring. I have been in the league for two years now, and it features some stiff competition (all of our league members read this site, and one is among the regular columnists).

Over the next few weeks, I am going to introduce the league and each of the 12 teams to the DobberHockey readers. The three teams today – Biscuits & Gravy (Alex), DraperNEuroTwinSauce (Rhys), and the Bulldogs (Shannon).

Rick Rypien was found dead in his Alberta home yesterday. The bottom line for him, as a hockey player is this – he wasn’t drafted, and yet he scratched and clawed his way into the NHL by the time he was 21. How many of us can say that? And were it not for [...]

I would have lowish expectations on this one - but Fabian Brunnstrom has agreed to a tryout with the Red Wings. He would have to nudge some homegrown talent to get there, but I think a likely scenario is that he impresses enough to play for Grand Rapids and then gets his share of [...]

Greetings, from London, Ontario! Definitely need to backtrack on my Florida statement, see comments below. Just needed time to digest it and really think about it. As I said, it was just off the top of my head. Kind of shocked, knee-jerk reaction. But they really have come along. Those of you trying [...]

Aging Prospects

Okay, so these guys aren't exactly old, but they have to be at least 22 by the start of the 2011-12 season to be included. In most cases these players have proven themselves in the AHL and are due for a serious look at some NHL ice time. There are some hidden gems in this list and in some cases all these defencemen need is a break. Most of them are stuck in organizations with a lot of blue line depth. Because of their age, there is more pressure for the organization to play them sooner rather than later and that's good if you need to shore up your blue line next year in a keeper league. These are good defensive prospects that are very close.

The 2012 DobberHockey Fantasy Guide is out and updated often. Pick up a copy today! Every goal scored by Mason Raymond last season – I was surprised at how many he scored without Ryan Kesler. A good read on Stefan Elliott – even if he has a strong camp, he’ll need some [...]

2013 – Everything’s Bigger in Texas

By Dobber Sports|2011-08-12T21:02:57-04:00August 12th, 2011|z-Archives (other articles)|

The Dean’s List series promises that it will not make a habit of jumping this far ahead in the future of hockey to profile a budding star but this 2013 NHL prospect has been making too much noise to simply ignore. How often do you find an emerging hockey star in the land of Texas? Seth Jones is proving that hockey has no geographic limits. The six-foot-four-inch 16-year-old hails from Dallas, Texas and is the son of former NBA basketball forward Popeye Jones which explains the youngster’s excellent athleticism. Jones is not eligible for the NHL Entry Draft until 2013 but fantasy owners will soon start realizing that he is quickly developing into a special prospect.

Interesting stuff in the kurtenblog, including some Crosby/Penguin facts: Crosby had a 25-game scoring streak from Nov. 5 to Dec. 28 in which he recorded 50 points. 26 goals, 24 assists. Fifty freaking points. The next longest streak was Ilya Kovalchuk's (14 points in 12 games) and the next highest output was Corey [...]

These ramblings have been brought to you by – Twitter. But first, to bring to light columnist Ryan Ma’s comment yesterday on the Coyotes, in which he was spot on – the ‘Yotes not only lost Bryzgalov, but they lost Belanger and Fiddler, taking with them an excellent faceoff proficiency. And that’s huge. [...]
