Hockey Rambling

We’ve officially hit that point in the season where fantasy hockey GMs are starting to get frustrated with underperforming players. Whether it’s Marc-Andre Fleury, Mitch Marner or Roope Hintz, now may be the time where fellow GMs are willing to accept a bargain offer for a player that is really struggling. The key is targeting [...]

It is Monday, and Mondays are usually reserved for Dobber. He had some other things to take care of, so he’ll return tomorrow, but you guys are stuck with me for today. We are nearly two weeks into the season and of course, all the samples are still too small for concrete determinations. All the [...]

You’re probably had enough of COVID by now. Yet judging by the number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths still happening around the world, COVID hasn’t had enough of you. Or your fantasy team, given the number of key players that have spent time in COVID protocol this season. Last season was exceptional in the fact [...]

Sidney Crosby might have to wait a while longer to make his season debut. He will not be ready for Saturday’s game and there is still no set return date.  With Jeff Carter still in COVID protocol and also out for Saturday, Evan Rodrigues is now the first-line center for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Rodrigues skated [...]

We’re getting to the point of the season where drops are likely being made in fantasy leagues. I still think it’s too early to make any significant changes outside of both injuries and demotions, but that doesn’t mean other people aren’t doing it. Here are some players I think fantasy owners might be having a [...]

At this point of the fantasy season, there just isn’t a whole lot to talk about. There are a handful of injuries and line changes across the league, but we have lots of columns here at Dobber Hockey that cover those things. We have Ryan Sheppard covering line changes in his ‘Lining Up’ columns and [...]

Lots to talk about after a busy Tuesday night in the NHL, but before we get to that, if you’re a Pavel Buchnevich owner then you’re going to have him stapled to your bench for the next few days as he received a two-game suspension for head-butting. This isn’t his first offence either, and he [...]

We are a full week into the NHL season and it is still far, far too early to make any concrete determinations. Outside of injuries or demotions, fantasy rosters shouldn’t have changed too much by this point. That doesn’t mean there aren’t signals we can look for, hoping it could lead to a positive development [...]

I hope you enjoyed the Fantasy Guide this year. Tons of updates once again, and I put through the last one on Saturday. That’s a wrap for another year! Grab it here if you have a late draft. For my francophone readers who prefer to read their gold in their native tongue, we have a [...]

According to Elliotte Friedman, Max Pacioretty is expected to be out for approximately six weeks (reportedly a fractured foot), while the Golden Knights are waiting for further information on Mark Stone. The team’s Twitter account later clarified that Pacioretty is out week-to-week, while Stone is currently day-to-day and currently being evaluated. Pacioretty and Stone were [...]
