Every season skaters storm out of the gate, putting smiles on the faces of those who were smart enough to draft them, but also giving the same poolies back of the mind concerns as to whether they can keep up their unexpectedly better pace. Whose starts for 2023-24 thus far are the real deal, versus [...]
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 [...]

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. [...]
