Ryan O'Reilly, a couple of young defencemen with blocks ahead of them, and Dallas should improve next year. **** Ryan O’Reilly is apparently a priority for the Colorado Avalanche. I don’t like using the word “underrated” (though I have and probably will again) so I will say that O’Reilly is an underappreciated player in the [...]

I will be opening a thread in the Dobber Forums today around lunchtime as usual on Thursdays. This will be a thread to the readers to ask any fantasy, or non-fantasy, hockey question that pops up. There are still a few questions to get to from last week, and I’ll open with those this week. [...]

I’ll do my best to [...]

Rangers-Lightning combine for 11 goals, Stamkos is just fine, Babcock to Toronto, and Blackhawks-Ducks Game 3.  **** Game 3 between the Lightning and the Rangers was one of the most entertaining yet these playoffs. Sometimes games are entertaining because they are goalie duels. Sometimes it’s for the physical nature. This game had two blown two-goal [...]
