Happy Halloween! And apparently, it’s time to take a few masks off - it’s still October, and some hockey writers are prematurely out there awarding trophies. Jack Hughes for the Hart! Connor Bedard for the Calder! (Of course, that one was “settled” pre-season, maybe even before the draft lottery - Bedard actually HAS the trophy [...]
Two weeks (not quite) into the NHL season, and we find some pretty familiar stories. Las Vegas and Colorado are already being crowned out west, and Boston and Philadelphia (?) lead the Eastern divisions. Carter Hart has three wins already, and Sean Couturier ($4800) leads the league with a (+7), on a team that has [...]
Welcome to the Saturday DFS series! Last season, aided by a ballsy $5 wager that Florida would take out the Boston Bruins, and specifically in seven games, I finished the hockey season up just about $100. But yeah, I’m not a hard-core gambler - fantasy sports exist to be fun, to make us all better [...]
For the last 20 years (12 with The Hockey News), Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. The site began these reviews on August 8, and today wraps up the 32nd team. These are not reviews of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but more in [...]

For the last 20 years (13 with The Hockey News) Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. This is only partly a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but more in the realm of fantasy hockey both for the season ahead, and the foreseeable [...]
As an added article for Bubble Keeper Week, I thought there should be some extra love chipped in for a player from the bottom teams from each division. Too often, our projections for each upcoming season reflect the past - and we know in our rational moments that change is inevitable. The Golden Knights missed [...]
I chose the wrong hero for my Thursday article, but a Panthers’ overtime win? Yeah, nailed that one. Tonight - does anyone have a crystal ball without the smoke from Ontario forest fires, or without the bias that most hockey fans proudly carry ALL THE TIME? Sergei Bobrovsky was the real first star of Game [...]
I’m going to start off today having total agreement with Steve Dotzel’s Saturday article – that for these single-game fantasy picks, you first need to imagine a final score and then run with that scenario. But the issue for that plan tonight is that I envision a 4–3 overtime game that’s a coin flip as [...]
