Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site [...]

Once again, my October poll focuses on who will be the three Calder Trophy finalists. Unlike past seasons, I feel that although there are not as many players who stand as realistic of a chance to be among the finalists, there are also fewer “slam dunk” choices for the three. Yes, I realize it’s still [...]
Being barely a week into the 2026-27 season, it’s too early for a normal Roos Lets Loose column. So instead, with a stick tap to Caleb Desjardins and his must read weekly Top Ten List column, I decided to put together a list of the top ten of mistakes I most often see made, or [...]
Once again, I’m carrying on a longstanding DobberHockey tradition of making Fearless Forecasts for the upcoming season.

The way the poll [...]

For a number of years during bubble keeper week I did a Goldipucks column. However, since that only covered three players, once again I’m doing a more encompassing poll instead. This time it’s a simple topic: which forwards will score 60+ points for the first time in 2026-27. Why did I pick 60 points? Because [...]
