The 2024 Dobber Hockey Midseason Guide has been released! There is rest-of-year outlooks, prospect updates (including those that may appear before the end of the regular season), which players to keep an eye on for the Trade Deadline, advanced statistics, and a whole lot more. A lot of work from the entire Dobber team went [...]
Injured Colorado Avalanche winger Valeri Nichushkin was skating in a non-contact jersey earlier this week and there was some hope that maybe he would return to game action in relatively short order. That does not appear to be the case as the team provided and update on his status and we shouldn’t expect him back [...]
Toronto had Steven Lorentz skating on the top line with Auston Matthews in practice yesterday. We would normally shrug that aside as a filler-type thing, but Matthew Knies and Bobby McMann were both practicing while Max Pacioretty seems to be headed for a healthy scratch. This won’t last, but it’s notable that Craig Berube is [...]
It had been a good start to the season for San Jose Sharks defenceman Jake Walman, posting 5 goals and 20 assists in 31 games, totaling 80 shots, 47 blocks, and 30 hits. However, injuries have started to limit his appearances as he’s now missed 12 games in total, with San Jose playing Game 44 [...]
The big news from Wednesday was the postponement of the game between the Calgary Flames and the Los Angeles Kings due to the ongoing, severe wildfire in California.

The big news on Monday would be to see which team would claim former Los Angeles Kings winger Arthur Kaliyev as he was put on waivers by the Kings on Sunday. Kaliyev had been injured for the 2024-25 season, but the team was playing well and had the forward depth they needed, so a move [...]
There was just one game on Monday night, and Los Angeles took care of business at home with a 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils. Andre Lee scored the first goal of the game, the first goal of his career, and the first goal in the NHL in 2025. That stood up as the [...]
After missing the playoffs in the spring of 2024 due to a tiebreaker, the Detroit Red Wings had hopes of pushing into a playoff spot in the spring of 2025. However, heading into the 2024 holiday break, the Red Wings had a record of 13-17-4, which works out to a .441 points percentage, and that [...]
My last two Ramblings included a Christmas wish list as well as peering down the road for fantasy schedules we should keep an eye on. Those are two forward-looking articles, so let’s keep that theme going, and take a spin around the league for players to keep an eye on for fantasy purposes. These are [...]
Christmas is now in the rearview mirror, but we do have Boxing Day on tap today. In the spirit of the season, let’s go over some players or teams that might be discounted from a lot of fantasy owners, but have good schedules over the second half that require our attention. We will also look [...]
