The Gazette is reporting that Petr Sykora will be replaced in the lineup by Miro Satan. Sykora was reportedly caught off guard by the switch. Looks like Bylsma will go with the hot hand going forward. The Knights were eliminated from the postseason and John Tavares did not lead them in scoring. Washington d-man John [...]
I know what you’re thinking: “did he fire six shots or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I’ve kinda lost track myself. But this being an Easton Synergy SE16, the most powerful hockey stick in the world, and would explode in my hands if I were to cross-check you in the head, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well do ya, punk?
In what is really just a formality, Bobby Ryan and Kris Versteeg were announced as finalists for the Calder Trophy along with the winner Steve Mason. Why Kris Versteeg got in when he had something like 10 points in his last 30 games, versus Pekka Rinne who nearly caught Mason in terms of comparable numbers [...]
The Dispatch is reporting that Derick Brassard has been cleared for contact. He will not be in Game 3, but Game 4 is looking very good. If you're up for a long read, I recapped my moves/thoughts and strategies in one of my keeper leagues. You can find it HERE I am about 99% certain [...]
J’avais de très bons sièges pour le match entre les Knights de London et les Spitfires de Windsor vendredi – centre de la glace, loge de luxe. Ceci va sans dire, ce fut très agréable, et ensuite, j’ai eu le plaisir de discuter espoirs avec un dépisteur de la LNH – il a jeté un œil à la Liste des Espoirs de DobberHockey, et considérant le fait que la liste jauge le potentiel d’un joueur en fonction des points seulement, il a été en mesure de me donner quelques tuyaux.
Les opinions d’un dépisteur doivent être prises avec un grain de sel. Alors que certains dépisteurs sont plus doués pour donner leur opinion, il faut se rappeler que si les dépisteurs étaient parfaits, alors chaque joueur réclamé serait dans la LNH et le repêchage amateur annuel ne serait que de trois rondes,
Do you have a question you'd like my take on for your keeper league? Ask it here before 5:30 and I'll jump on at that time and try to answer everything. A lightning round! By the way - the best Fantasy Tool you have ever seen (some of you already have) I BELIEVE will go [...]

I had prime seats to see the London Knights host the Windsor Spitfires Friday – center ice, luxury box. Needless to say, it was a beauty – and afterwards, I had the pleasure of talking prospects with an NHL scout – he looked through the DobberHockey Fantasy Prospects List and with the understanding that the list measures a player’s potential in terms of points only, he was able to give me quite a bit of insight.
The opinions of a scout need to be taken with a grain of salt. While scouts are certainly more qualified to give the opinion, it also needs to be understood that if scouts were perfect then every player ever drafted would be in the NHL and the annual Draft would be reduced to three rounds.
Pick up my Playoff Draft List, HERE . Matt Cullen did not participate in the morning skate, according to Canes Now . I've heard Tortorella and Hitchcock each complain that the other team is cheating on faceoffs. Is this in style now? Quit whining - just cheat back. In Game 2, the Jackets employed that theory [...]
(Andover's Chris Kreider, a darkhorse top ten pick)
The 2009 NHL Entry Draft lottery took place on Tuesday night. While every team in the top five had a chance to win the rights to the first pick, the New York Islanders retained the right to draft John Tavares. However, the results are still causing a shake-up in the draft board as the season comes to a close.
Pick up my Playoff Draft List, HERE . Just $8.95 - not only is cheaper than other playoff lists you'll find, but there is a possibility that I put together those other lists you have seen out there (I won't say which ones - confidentiality agreement). Hey - it's what I do! I'll have a [...]
