Lightning hammer Rangers, Tyler Johnson stays hot, Kevin Hayes, and looking ahead to Anaheim-Chicago Game 2. **** It was a drubbing that wasn’t really one until the third period. The Lightning were up 3-2 through 40 minutes, but managed to make it 4-2 early in the third period, and then the nail in the coffin [...]
Rangers move on to Eastern Conference Final, Henrik Lundqvist shines, Anaheim-Chicago starts Sunday, and more. **** As I do every Thursday, I’ll have an open forum thread for readers to post any fantasy hockey questions they might have (click here). Anything from keeper decisions, outlooks, either/or, and anything else that comes to mind, just look [...]
Montreal/Tampa Bay Game 6, Ryan Callahan's injury, Chris Kreider's fantasy value, and thoughts on Anton Stralman. **** After falling down in the series three games to zero, the Montreal Canadiens have an opportunity tonight to force a Game 7. All they need to do is go to Tampa Bay and get out with a win. [...]
Montreal fills the net in a must-win, Chicago sweeps Minnesota, and some thoughts on dynasty defenceman rankings. **** The Montreal Canadiens managed to extend their season by at least one game with a 6-2 bombing of the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 4.

Rangers and Habs on the verge of being eliminated, while Chicago goes for a sweep. Thoughts on both the Jack Adams and Ted Lindsay awards. **** As always, I’ll have a thread open around noon at the Dobber Forums for any fantasy hockey (and general hockey) question. It’s a chance for keeper questions, outlooks, or [...]

All of a [...]
Hart Trophy finalists named; Tampa Bay goes through; a look at the Western Conference second round. **** As I am going to be doing for Thursdays throughout the summer, I’m going to open a thread for that day in the forums (typically around Noon ET) for readers to ask any fantasy hockey question, and I’ll [...]
Former Boston Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli has been named President of Hockey Operations and General Manager for the Edmonton Oilers.
Thoughts on Chiarelli, Miller, Johnson - and was Forsberg snubbed? * The Calder Trophy finalists were named yesterday with Mark Stone, Johnny Gaudreau, and Aaron Ekblad being named as the three contenders for rookie of the year. This seemingly caused a big stir because of the so-called “snub” of Filip Forsberg. While I agree that [...]
I’m going to start a mailbag-type thing once a week as part of my ramblings. Check the forums here on Dobber Hockey where I will start a thread for posters/readers to ask me anything fantasy hockey-related (or really, just hockey in general). It could be keeper questions, trade questions, playoff discussion, whatever is on the [...]
