Much of the buzz during these first few weeks of the season has rightfully focused on players who’ve had unexpectedly hot starts. The focus of today’s poll, however, is the other end of the spectrum – that is, underperforming players……at least thus far. The poll question is a simple one – which of these [...]
It’s time again for Forum Buzz, your monthly reminder of just how great the DobberHockey Forums are for fantasy questions and insight. In this column, I weigh in on some of the most active, heavily debated, or currently relevant Forum threads from the past month. Pretty much anything might be covered, other than trades [...]
After a week's delay due to my 2019-20 Fearless Forecasts column, “Goldipucks and the Three Skaters” is back. For first time readers, or those needing a refresher, this column is a play on the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story, except instead of there being three bowls of porridge I’m covering three skaters and [...]
The beginning of the regular season brings with it hopes and dreams of fantasy championships. It’s also when prognosticators like me make predictions for the upcoming season. After 2017-18 where I had some success and near misses, I proceeded to take a step backwards last season. Can I right my ship with my forecasts [...]
Time to empty the mailbag one last time before the puck drops on the 2019-20 campaign. As usual, I’ll maintain the goal of giving thorough enough responses while at the same time providing useful fantasy advice and food for thought to other readers, even if they don’t own the player(s) which happen to be [...]
For the last poll before the regular season, I want to focus on a stat I use when doing fantasy research, namely even-strength forward point pairs. These occur when two forwards share a point on the same goal at even strength, be it one scoring the goal and the other assisting or both receiving [...]
The offseason sure has flown by, as it’s time for the final edition of “Forum Buzz” before the puck drops on the 2019-20 NHL campaign. As a reminder, Forum Buzz is a column where I weigh in on some of the most active or heavily debated threads from the past month on the DobberHockey [...]
It’s time for your monthly fix of “Goldipucks and the Three Skaters.” For first time readers, or those needing a refresher, this column is a play on the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story, except instead of there being three bowls of porridge I’m covering three skaters and declaring one too hot (i.e., doing [...]
The mailbag got extra full over the past month, which is fine by me! But to answer all the questions I’ll keep some of my answers a bit shorter than usual. Still, I’ll maintain the goal of giving thorough enough responses while at the same time providing useful fantasy advice and food for thought [...]
In reading the always superb Fantasy Guide (available here), I noticed there were nine teams where Dobber had a confidence level of 80% or less of one goalie being “the starter” (I won’t list the specific percentages – you’ll have to buy the Guide to see that). And although there will indeed turn out [...]
