Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice

Welcome back, after a crazy start to the NHL season that’s seen 2023-24 playoff teams Colorado and Nashville each start off 0-4-0 (Avs getting first win last night), and the written-off Calgary Flames unbeaten and leading the Pacific Division. Including overtimes, the defending Cup champion Florida Panthers have lost as many games (three) as Tampa, [...]

This being my first Dobber article of the year - and yes, I know the season has already started - it’s an opportunity to throw out a few predictions against the mainstream. Already, the Edmonton Oilers have been anointed as the front runners for the Stanley Cup, Auston Matthews has won the Rocket Richard, and [...]

Hello all! You may remember me from such Dobber articles like, Capped and Looking Ahead…but I asked if I could write about DFS and was given the green light.

Happy St. Patrick’s weekend!  And for fantasy hockey players, we are down to the last week, or maybe the last two days of your league before playoffs begin for about half of us. We start looking at specific opponents, hoping we get two more points than the next guy, or maybe one more category. At [...]
