Geek of the Week

Hey gang! Over the last two weeks I have recapped some of the more interesting sets of forwards and defensemen who have found new homes over the offseason whether that be via trade, free agency, or even the expansion draft! It was a busy offseason with player movement left, right and center! To wrap up [...]

As we inch closer to the start of another full season of NHL hockey, I continue to preview numerous players of interest who have found themselves in new homes over the summer break. Whether it be a trade or by their own will via free agency, there was a bevy of offseason movement, and that [...]

As with any offseason in all sports leagues, there’s always a ton of impending change on each and every team heading into the new campaign. This year obviously is no exception, and it wouldn’t be a stretch to say this was one of the more hectic NHL offseasons in recent history. Partially thanks to the [...]

After a quick summer break, Geek of the Week is back for another fantasy hockey season, and DobberHockey is officially kicking things off with Bubble Keeper Week. All throughout this past week, various columnists from the site have been going over players who you may need a little convincing or coercing on. Who is that [...]

When the final buzzer sounded Friday night in the Amalie Arena, the final matchup was solidified. This unique, one-of-a-kind season will come down to an all-Atlantic Division showdown to decide the fate of Lord Stanley’s Cup.

With Round 2 wrapping up earlier this week, only four teams remain in the hunt for the Stanley Cup. Surely after the dust had settled from this past round, many readers’ brackets had been busted. A Golden Knights/Canadiens semifinal probably isn’t what many people had in mind; I know that’s not what I had. Meanwhile [...]

With the NHL playoffs in full swing, and with all of the first round series having been determined with the exception of the Leafs/Habs series, I thought this would be as good a time as any to do a little recap of the first round and highlight some of the players who stood out over [...]

Now that our annual fantasy hockey seasons have come to a collective end, I thought this week would be a great time for some reflection. Every year is guaranteed to have its fair share of both breakthrough stars and underachievers alike. A lot of times a player’s performance is heavily influenced by their team environment [...]

So rather than the traditional format of focusing on a single player and their journey to becoming a fantasy-relevant hockey player, I thought most readers are now heading into playoff territory and would be more helpful to cover multiple players who might still be available in your fantasy leagues. Finding value can be tough at [...]

It’s crazy to think that American left winger James van Riemsdyk is already in his 12th year of service in the NHL. With nearly 800 regular season games played under his belt, he continues to find ways to be a useful offensive producer in the league. He has proven that when healthy, he is a [...]
