Normally I resume the Roos Lets Loose format the week after my 15 Fearless Forecasts is published; but I feel like it’s a bit too soon to dissect data. Next week it should be back to business as usual. This is the perfect time though to remind ourselves to use good judgment in making decisions, [...]
I don’t normally dwell on how my prior season’s Fearless Forecasts fared, admittedly because usually far fewer actually pan out versus those that don’t. But as can be seen from my May recap column, I had a pretty successful 2022-23, turning in perhaps my best performance since I started doing this way back in 2015. [...]

Welcome back to the only poll I’ve run every single year since I transitioned to the Roos Lets Loose column format. It’s an important poll, because the goalie position is so key and there are always a number of teams with projected goalie shares or likely 1A/1B situations. The poll is based entirely on the [...]
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 and are also normally [...]
Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]

Welcome to another poll that I’ve decided to run annually.

By my count, it was eleven (Elias Pettersson, Alex Tuch, [...]
