I’m taking a break from regularly scheduled Roos Lets Loose content, since it’s a bit too early to dissect data for the current season. But at the same time, decisions made, and actions taken - or not taken – at this juncture can be among the most consequential. That begs the question of when to [...]
The puck drops Friday on the 2024-25 regular season, albeit with the full schedule not commencing until October 8th. But as always, before game number one it’s time for me to make my annual Fearless Forecasts for fantasy. Here’s the part where I usually talk about how my prior season’s Forecasts fared, toasting my successes [...]
It’s time again for the longest running annual poll of this column, and, just maybe, the most important. That’s because it centers around goalies, who, on a per player basis, are nearly always the most impactful to one’s fantasy team. That’s why it’s crucial to guess correctly as to which goalies, among several challengers, will [...]

It’s time again for a poll I like to run every summer, focusing on which players are primed to hit the all-important point per game mark for the first time in the upcoming season. Looking back at 2023-24, among 33 (down from 38 in 2022-23) skaters who appeared in at least half of their teams’ [...]
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.
