There are a few players in the league who are dominant no matter where they are playing. Jarome Iginla is a good example. He has 66 points in 68 games this season and of those, 33 have been recorded both at home and on the road. Another example is Rick Nash, who has 29 points at home and on the road, but not every player is wired this way. Many perform either better on the road or better at home and in this two part series, I'll look at both.
I invite you to take a look at the new and improved "Other Features" section of DobberHockey (via the menu on the left). Take a look - it's a thing of beauty! Do you want $250? Baseball fan? Head over to DobberBaseball and get details on how you can win $250 bones by [...]
If you want a nice breakdown of the goings on in the OHL, Brendan "Dean Youngblood" Ross has a nice post up in the forum. In seven games with Dallas, Alex Goligoski now has six points, after notching a pair of secondary assists last night. With 37 on the season, he ties his [...]
Great news on Tomas Fleischmann here. In his last 11 games, Manny Malhotra has eight points and is plus-9. Derek MacKenzie has been centering the top line for Columbus lately (since Brassard went down). MacKenzie has six points and is plus-4 in his last eight. Great comments below, most notably - [...]
I apologize, I was distracted this morning by that train wreck on Ustream known as "Sheen's Korner". Yeah, ramblings were delayed for that...won't happen again. Andy and Andrew McDonald MacDonald were all over the scoresheet in the NYI/STL game. I found that amusing to review - McDonald had a goal and an assist, [...]
I’d like to give props to Anthony for picking four winners last week, including the BUF/DET shootout game. The week before that I struggled to come away with two victories while my own dog beat me with three winners. Another strong performance like that and I foresee a visit to the pound in the near future. It’s time to bounce back in the face of adversity (have more wobbly pops?), or something like that. Anyways let’s get to the action as we have a real mixed bag, with some great match-ups for teams looking to squeeze into the big dance, and some meaningless bottom dwelling games as well.
This week I was going to take a look at Eastern Conference teams player acquisitions and losses via the trade route and analyze some of the fantasy fallout, but that's been done to death. Instead I'll present my ramblings on a six pack of teams and a shot.
Being a star in Sarnia has its ups and downs, but the hockey world is starting to notice a Nail Yakupov, an electrifying star from Nizhnekamsk, Russia. TSN.ca published an article last week after Yakupov had another spectacular game.
The Rankings - I'm most of the way through them and should have them up this morning. Vladimir Sobotka will miss at least four weeks with a cracked bone in his left foot. Sobotka sustained the injury on Sunday in Calgary. Columbus has acquired prospect Petr Kalus from the Wild for future [...]
The Sharks have announced that they have signed Antti Niemi to a four-year contract extension. Another smart agent... Corey Crawford is 7-1-1 in his last nine and he sits second in league GAA with 2.13. With the top rookie scorer on pace for just 60 points and Crawford possibly winning 12 of the [...]
