A belated happy birthday to our resident goaltending guru Justin Goldman. Have a good one, Goldie! Staal, Cole, and Stillman combined for five points and a number of scoring chances last night. Is it 2006 all over again? Gagne had two goals, St. Louis had two assists, and Stamkos was pointless. A [...]
Is there a new number one this year? Read on to find out more…
The first edition of this list was put together last April, and it is something I am going to update at least once each season. I have a few general rules when it comes to building a team in a fantasy hockey keeper league. One of the more important ones is to not plan beyond a two or three year window. You are not building a real NHL club, and too often I see poolies place too much of an emphasis on youth and prospects instead of trying to add players who could help them win now. Using this rule, take a look at your team(s). Can you realistically say you will have a shot at winning the league at some point within the next two or three seasons? If not, time to scrap the rebuild and start adding proven NHL talent.
For your listening pleasure - put it on your Ipod or just listen in on your computer! Dobber Nation appears on the 25th of every month, except December (Christmas). Let's talk some fantasy hockey!
Zach Parise is very close to returning to the New Jersey lineup. When Justin Goldman talks goalies, I listen. His awesome breakdown of James Reimer from last night’s game is available here on his site. Boston signed Boston University junior defenseman David Warsofsky, their 4th rounder from 2009. Warsofsky starred for BU [...]
My Puck Daddy piece is posted now. Good timing for my Puck Daddy piece out later today - Varlamov's agent has said that he is considering some offers from the KHL for next season. Definitely posturing, as he doesn't want his client backing up either Neuvirth or Holtby. The threat of bolting exists [...]
Daniel Sedin's wife had their third child last night - he will play tomorrow in Detroit. The Wings will be without Franzen, Datsyuk, Hudler, and probably Bertuzzi as well. According to a Swedish paper, Marcus Kruger is going to join the Blackhawks next week. With Bolland and potentially Sharp both injured, Kruger [...]
Goldie: Here are my thoughts on the Anderson deal and how it might impact Robin Lehner. Also, Atte Engren has been assigned to Milwaukee. He's #39 on my Top-100 Prospects list and has been one of the best SM-liiga goalies over the past two seasons. Jiri Hudler is missing his third straight with an injury tonight. Daniel [...]
The 2011 DobberBaseball fantasy guide is out! I'll do my best to open up the fantasy mailbag tomorrow evening./ Try your hand at naming the "farm team" section on the DobberHockey forums. We have had some great talent step up with their contributions since putting this idea into place a few months ago! [...]

I know Jonathan Quick is having a spectacular season, but games like last night must plant a tiny seed of doubt in the eyes of LA fans and management. Quick was horrible last year during the playoffs (to be fair, he had played over 70 regular season games and was completely spent). If [...]
