As we move ever so closer to the NHL resuming play, what better way to celebrate than by emptying the mailbag and answering your fantasy hockey questions! Per usual, I’ll aim to provide information while also giving advice that should be useful to all poolies even if they don’t own the specific players being discussed [...]
The 2019-20 NHL season was one like no other, in the end barely half of all teams playing 70+ games. Even still, I felt it was appropriate to do my annual exercise of checks and balances in the form of reviewing my 15 Fearless Forecasts for 2019-20 to see how my predictions fared. You can [...]
In a time when hockey news and stories were virtually non-existent, last month’s inductions into the Hockey Hall of Fame (HHOF) received even more attention than they normally would. That made me ponder: how many future HHOFers might be playing in today’s NHL? And when I start thinking about something, you get to vote on [...]
Greetings Dobberites! I tried to figure out the last time I pinch-hit to do a Ramblings, and couldn’t remember, which means it’s been quite a while. Hopefully I live up to the lofty standards of the normal ramblers….. Although during these trying times it’s even worse than usual to be aging, part of the benefits [...]
Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on very active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding everyone how great of a resource the Forums are, especially now that the season is paused. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get separate write-ups [...]
Welcome back to your monthly installment of Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, which, for new readers, is a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Here though, instead of there being three bowls of porridge I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), [...]
Once again I’m pleased that no hockey didn’t mean no mailbag questions, as I gratefully received plenty from loyal DobberHockey readers. As per usual, I’ll aim to provide information via my answers to these questions while also giving advice that should be useful to all poolies even if they don’t own the specific players being [...]
No matter how much anyone wants to deny it, there’s always a good bit of luck involved in fantasy hockey. That’s especially the case when it comes to Band-Aid Boys, as even the worst offenders do defy the odds and manage to play 75+ games in some seasons. Which Band-Aid Boys might be on tap [...]

After a break to focus on goalies, this week it’s back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, which, for new readers, is a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Here though, instead of there being three bowls of porridge I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing [...]
