There were a bunch of stories today about NHLers currently playing in Europe heading back to their respective clubs. Joe Thornton is one, a couple of Sens being others. Just a reminder that the Government of Canada still has a 14-day quarantine in place for out-of-country travellers, meaning players travelling from Europe need to get [...]
As we barrel towards a (hopeful) mid-January NHL start, the previews are rolling in. While I would recommend buying the 2020 Dobber Hockey Guide because that is everything we talk about across the site and a whole lot more all in on place, we’re here to help the people that don’t buy it as well. [...]
Well, I figured it was time to start projections, seeing as there is a lot of chatter the NHL season will begin in about five weeks’ time. It was a wild, wild trip just briefly going back over stats from 2019-20. Remember that it’ll be at least 10 months between the end of last season [...]
As the 2020-21 season approaches – we may not have a start date but by definition, we’re one day closer to the season starting – it’s worth thinking about what a shortened season will bring. We are lucky in that we had a shortened season seven years ago to refer to, at any rate. One [...]
It was 25 years ago yesterday that Patrick Roy was traded to the Colorado Avalanche, a trade that altered the next two decades of their respective franchises, for better (Colorado) or worse (Montreal). I don’t remember a lot about pro sports from my childhood, but I do remember my dad telling me my favourite player [...]
We have reached December without an agreement between the players and owners. Rather, it should be said that an agreement was reached but, just months after this agreement, the owners are trying to renege on it. (I really wish every news item was framed this way; there was an agreement in place, one agreed to [...]
With it being American Thanksgiving yesterday, there wasn’t really a lot of news to go over. Not that there is usually much to talk about in the middle of the NHL’s off-season, but really not a lot here. I did see an interesting tweet from Eric Macramalla, who is a sports law professor that also [...]
Team Canada, currently in the World Junior bubble in Red Deer, Alberta, will all quarantine for 14 days following two positive tests on the roster. Those positive tests came after another positive test elsewhere in the organization a few days earlier. We will post more once more is known but that's all we have for [...]
Jake DeBrusk signed with the Bruins for two years with an AAV a little under $3.7M per season. His fantasy value in the upcoming season will depend on when the season actually begins. With both Marchand and Pastrnak out of the lineup on a January 1st start, DeBrusk could see a lot of top minutes. [...]
The German junior team announced its prelim roster and though Tim Stuetzle is (obviously) on it, as Chris Peters points out, he may not be ready for the tournament. He suffered a hand injury a few weeks ago and it was a 6- to 8-week timeline from then. That would put him somewhere mid-late December. [...]
