The hockey season is now two months old and it’s time to update the Dobber Experts pool. It’s been interesting to say the least. As of November 30th, The Comish had a big lead (16.5 points), sitting first in six of the ten categories and second in three others.

They may be leagues apart right now, but that's a mere technicality for Mike and Mark Santorelli. Dominant in the AHL and WHL respectively, the pair will soon suit up together for the Nashville Predators- and maybe they should for your fantasy team.
More than any other year in recent memory, the goaltending picture from a fantasy standpoint has been cloudier than ever. The usual suspects – Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo and Miikka Kiprusoff – aren’t in the top 10 in any major goaltending category (well, Kipper is tied for ninth in wins, but you catch my drift).

Hockey players can be a superstitious lot. Many players will wear the same T-shirt, socks or even underwear long past their expiry date, all in the name of luck. Others need to put on their equipment in exactly the same order every time. Some guys will find a lucky stick and use it until it literally falls apart.
You see it practically every time a coach gets the pink slip. Heck, you saw it six games into the season when Atlanta fired coach Bob Hartley.
The team gets hot and the slumping stars go on a tear.
