You can't spell opportunity without the letters I and R. With the NHL regular season opening this morning in London, certain teams have to had to make some last-minute adjustments to deal with some critical last-minute injuries. Here are the kids tapped to fill those spots.

Take a look at the list of NHL teams that had goalie controversies in 2005-06, then 2006-07, and now at the start of the 2007-08 seasons. Are you noticing a trend? It is true; the tag team tandem of having two goalies sharing/ competing for a bulk of the starts is on a decline.
For fantasy owners this is good news.

The players on this list are generally not the most liked among hockey fans. This often leads to them slipping later on in fantasy leagues, as a lot of people pick their favourite players over other skaters who may be more beneficial to their fantasy squad. Break the trend, and take a look at these guys come draft day (or if that has already passed, on the waiver wire)!
As you might have read about in Dobber’s daily ramblings or on Burnsy’s Keepin’ it real blog, I organize an industry wide fantasy hockey experts’ league. Scott Cullen from TSN.ca is the league’s defending champion and there are 15 experts participating this season.

With many teams having their third and even fourth preseason matchup in the books, there's never a better time than now to take stock of the September showings that have been markedly more super than any other series this month. Who would make a good pick up, would you put down, and who should you keep?

Ryan Miller is facing quite a arduous situation this year. His Sabres have been severely downgraded from “Stanley Cup favorite” to “playoff hopeful” due to the loss of Chris Drury and Daniel Briere. In fact, no other starting goaltender will have to deal with nearly this type of tumultuous roster turnover. So why is Miller so darn excited for the season to start?

Welcome back to the Wild West, appearing every Tuesday on DobberHockey, and I look forward to dissecting the big and breaking news from the Western Conference. Looking forward to helping DobberHockey grow even more and hope you are ready to come along for the ride.
Baseball playoffs are starting. Who cares? Football is back. Big whoop! The best sport in the world is getting ready to start in about two weeks, and that means that most fantasy drafts have already been completed. While you may be kicking yourself for passing on a certain player, there are plenty of options left on the waiver wire. Here are a few guys getting some big opportunities in training camp so far:
Some NHL camps are wrapping up, some are just underway, and some haven't started yet. Here's a look at the latest news as it's been coming in.
Below are the results of the DobberHockey Expert League draft, along with some reflections, strategies, etc. from each participant...
