For the last several weeks we have been focused on a league-wide scan of power-play defensemen.  Week 1 is here, Week 2 is here, and Week 3 is here. Now that we have wrapped up that discussion, we are going to turn to a bit of gold mining. Scouring the waiver wire is never a [...]

Week two is here This week on Frozen Tool Forensics: Around The League in 31 Power-Plays: Part Three - The Final Chapter. As a reminder from last week: “A couple of quick process comments.

Last week we started a journey around the league. There were highs. There were lows. We are going to continue that journey this week. Our goal is to stop in on each team and take a look at how they are running their power-play. There were many power-play defensemen storylines early in the season and [...]

We are back with Week 2 of our dive into advanced stats and how they are related to projections. Make sure you pick up the Dobber Fantasy Guide for the most up-to-date info out there, but this series should help in understanding why some projections look the way they do and in developing your own.
