They say absence makes the heart grow fonder; but it also helps fill the mailbag, as I got more inquiries this past month than sometimes when the season was still going! As per usual, I’ll do my best to answer the questions while providing advice useful to poolies even if they don’t own the specific [...]
Fantasy hockey enthusiasts realize that opportunity often matters more than pure talent when it comes to being a successful NHL scorer. This begs the question - how many of today’s players could shine if only they were given a true chance to do so? Sadly, in the majority of cases, we can never know. But [...]
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 has been suspended. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually will get [...]
Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Here though, instead of there being three bowls of porridge I'm covering three skaters and declaring one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a [...]
I thought about adding a fake question for April Fools Day to help provide a momentary escape from the sober reality we’re all currently facing, but figured it would be in poor form. So instead I’ll stick to what you came here for - information via answers to questions while providing advice that should be [...]
With the 2019-20 regular season all but over we can confidently identify fantasy goats, namely the players falling short of their expected level of production.

The fantasy hockey season might be winding down, but the mailbag is as important as ever, whether to tackle questions about how to approach the last month of the 2019-20 regular season or ones looking ahead to the Stanley Cup playoffs, the summer or even the 2020-21 campaign and beyond. As usual, this column aims [...]
Quick – if I asked you to rattle off the NHL’s best multi-cat players, who would you name? Probably Alex Ovechkin, Shea Weber, Brent Burns, and Dustin Byfuglien, each of whom made the list of the top ten multi-cat performers of the last decade. Guess what else they have in common? They’re all 34 years [...]
