Despite being in the AHL, Grachev will not be allowed by the Rangers to go to the WJC. Russia wants him, Rags say "no". That indicates that they have plans for him to join the big club. Those of you in a fantasy baseball keeper league - Snyder has just posted the Top 150 [...]
Note - file is now complete - we apoligize for the partial (from Dec. 1st)
For your listening pleasure - put it on your Ipod or just listen in on your computer! Usually Dobber Nation is out on the 25th of every month, but due to the health issues that postponed October, the November edition was pushed back a few days. It's here now, so let's talk some fantasy hockey!
Walker talks about some under-the radar prospects with Jeff Nielsen, including revisiting a favorite sleeper of Dobber's and Bugg's (you'll have to listen to find out who!). Martin Hanzal jumps on to discuss his increased ice time under the new coach, what his role is and will be, as well as his thoughts on some of his young teammates. Jeff Angus comes on to give his take on how Dustin Penner will do without Ales Hemsky, what the future holds for Gilbert Brule, as well as other fantasy-relevant situations around the league.
You can download the file in our Dobber Nation page (click HERE) or on ITunes
Dobber Nation is up... sort of. The first 19 minutes are available if you want to go to the radio show page and have a listen. Otherwise, we need to re-upload in the morning and I'll post it on the front page at that time. El-Bashir reports that Ovechkin skated for about five minutes [...]
What do you want to hear on Dobber Nation? Let us know here! On the poll today, I voted for 26-30. No scientific reason for this, I've just seen Green score 18-20 goals in 50 games before. Easy as pie for that guy. I'm a believer in stats lining up properly when the sample [...]
Kristian Huselius has 11 points in eight games since returning from his UBI. Is it too optimistic to expect him to stay in his zone this time? Yes. After going pointless in two AHL games, Brunnstrom was recalled by the Stars. He played just 10:42 and was a minus-1 playing with Modano and Petersen. [...]
I am coming off a huge week last column which saw me win close to $1300.00. I am pretty sure I was 9-2 on the week and hit a big parlay. I feel very confident in these weeks’ selections and even have a guaranteed pick. Not sure what I will do if I lose, but I won’t so I don’t even need to think about it.
Crazynuck delivers the goods for Week 9 of the NHL regular season!
Mike Fisher is in the midst of his tenth NHL season. This year he has delivered some unexpected lofty offensive numbers (22-10-11-21). He sits tied with Mike Richards and is ahead of both Vincent Lecavalier and Pavel Datsyuk in the scoring race, three centres who would have been drafted much, much higher than Fisher in your hockey pools this season. In his last year of major junior hockey, Fisher recorded 106 points in 68 games for Sudbury of the Ontario Hockey League. He’s really found his offensive groove under Cory Clouston. It appears that he will obliterate his career high of 48 points, but beware; Fisher has a history of missing the odd game or two (dozen) due to injury.
Real estate timeshares are questionable things. The concept was born in Europe many decades ago and it seemed to have its heyday in the United States during the 1980s. Then the idea got mired in shady marketing and the unscrupulous desire to make a quick buck, but at its heart, the concept was fairly sound. Can’t afford the whole thing? Just buy part of it.
Maybe this idea could work for you in your fantasy hockey league.
Eric Staal will play tonight for the 'Canes. The beauty of drawing upon the knowledge of and the memory of my readers - only through the power of the fantasy hockey nation can we get all the angles covered. Of course, with my Wandell spiel below, I had forgotten - he was a temporary [...]
