Hockey Rambling

Are the Lightning in trouble? https://twitter.com/DobberHockey/status/1632113053528469507 In that game they were down 5-1. Benching Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point actually helped them close the gap to a 5-3 final! How did those superstars respond, you ask? By laying a big, rotten egg. The Hurricanes hammered Tampa on Sunday 6-0. And in fact, in [...]

In the Lightning’s 5-3 loss to the Sabres, Jon Cooper decided to send his stars a message, benching Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos, and Brayden Point for the entire third period. After the game, Cooper said that the three weren’t giving the Lightning their best chance to win. All three had made the scoresheet earlier in [...]

If you took the day off work to watch the hours of coverage from one of the sports networks that covers the NHL, hopefully you enjoyed the singing, acting, trivia, endless panel discussions, and other filler during that time. Although there were a couple of fantasy-relevant trades and many other minor deals, this trade deadline [...]

We’ve gotten so used to boring trade deadlines, so at least you can say this season has been a fun deadline with all the deals that started to flow in last weekend. Although the big names like Patrick Kane, Timo Meier, and Jakob Chychrun have all been moved, I wonder if today will have a [...]

There was no shortage of trades over the last couple of days and the Dobber Hockey team has you covered. We have a special section just for trade/signing analysis so head on over there to read up on what myself, Alex, Ian, and Dobber have to say about the trades of Patrick Kane, Filip Hronek, [...]

It feels like trade-deadline day was yesterday. Cliffy had his hands full with a ton of fantasy-relevant deals that he broke down all of the value changes for. Stick taps to him, and we’ll see how busy it is for me today. The general feeling is that there isn’t a whole lot left for deadline [...]

Though there were lots of significant trades made over the weekend (and over the last 10-ish days), there are still a couple of big names in Vancouver that are in the rumour mill. One of them is JT Miller, who has taken a lot of the frustration towards the team’s lack of success. The Canucks [...]

After a brief (very brief) run of slowed offense, the Sabres appear to be back in business with seven goals on Sunday. That gives them 16 in three games, and moves them back into second in the entire league for offense. Take note, daily fantasy players! Dylan Cozens was an absolute monster. His four points [...]

On Saturday, Patrick Kane and even Sam Lafferty joined the “roster management” club. Already included in that prestigious group are Jakob Chychrun, Vladislav Gavrikov, and Luke Schenn, while Timo Meier is believed to be recovering from an upper-body injury. If any of these players are on your roster, how do you feel about that? I’m [...]

Anthony Duclair made his long-awaited season debut on Friday after missing the entire season so far with an Achilles injury. Duclair registered an assist along with four shots and a team-leading five hits in 17 minutes of icetime, which included second-unit power-play time. Duclair (24% Yahoo/45% Fantrax) is worth a pickup if you need scoring [...]
