It leaked a few days ago that the NHL would have a big announcement on Monday, and that this announcement was likely to be related to sports betting. This was indeed the case as Gary Bettman publicised that the NHL had entered into a multi-year agreement with MGM Resorts, wherein MGM would become the [...]
First and foremost, a hearty congratulations to Ian Gooding and Cam Robinson on their promotions within here at Dobber Hockey. While Cam’s has promotion been known for a while, Ian’s has not. Cam is the new Managing Editor for Dobber Prospects while Ian is the new Managing Editor right here at Dobber Hockey. Both [...]
Considering some of the news-heavy days we've had in the last week or so, Wednesday's news updates were fairly light. The Blues sent Sam Blais to the minors a couple days ago. This is likely in anticipation of the return of Robby Fabbri, who was sent on a conditioning assignment in San Antonio. It’s [...]
In this week’s installment, we take a look at two of the hottest lines in the league. Using Dobber’s Line Production Tool, I compiled a list of the highest scoring line for each team at even strength. If a team’s highest scoring line hasn’t crossed the double-digit mark yet, it’s likely because many line combinations [...]
We have a few lineup and injury notes to get through so let’s start there. Seth Jones should be in the lineup for Columbus on Tuesday. He skated in a full practice (again) on Monday and coach John Tortorella said after practice he’s likely to return for the team’s home game against Arizona. Where [...]
Once again, we have a lot of lineup, injury, and signing notes to get through so let’s get right to it. After missing some time in their last game, Will Butcher laced up Thursday night for the Devils. While he admitted to reporters that he was feeling a little sore, it appears it’s not [...]
There was a lot of injury and lineup information that came out Wednesday so let's not waste any time getting to it. Brady Tkachuk is going to be out of Ottawa’s lineup for about a month with a leg injury. It was suffered on this hit, apparently: Brady Tkachuk goes for a hit [...]
Let’s get around the league to catch up on some injury and lineup notes. Paul Stastny’s injury timeline escalated quickly. It went from a few games, to week-to-week, and the latest update now has him missing two months with a lower-body injury. This is a huge blow for Vegas, a team already missing Nate [...]
Everyone knows scoring is up in the league compared to last year. It’s been just over a week, so we’ll have to see where things stand probably three months from now. Remember that scoring started high last year because they were trying to crack down on slashing/hooking around the hands, then once PP opportunities [...]
We had a wild game in Canada’s capital Wednesday night that featured a lot of goals and an equal amount of nastiness. The first note was that not only did Brady Tkachuk score his first career NHL goal, he managed a pair of them. Truth be told, his power play unit looked much better [...]
