By |2024-01-13T02:47:05-05:00January 13th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

I’m standing in for the Ramblings today as Ian Gooding needed a well-earned rest after helping put together Dobber’s Midseason Fantasy Guide for 2024 and getting it out on time. There were just two games on Friday night as the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 in overtime while the Nashville Predators spanked the [...]

By |2024-01-08T01:09:44-05:00January 8th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

Minnesota called up Jesper Wallstedt from the AHL on Sunday. The 20-year-old netminder – drafted 20th overall in 2021 – has been solid for the Iowa Wild this year. Through 20 games, he holds a .917 save percentage and 2.54 GAA. With Filip Gustavsson injured and Minnesota playing a back-to-back against Philadelphia and Arizona this [...]

By |2024-01-07T12:29:19-05:00January 7th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

Connor Bedard has been placed on IR with a fractured jaw. Although one report suggested he would be out four to six weeks, Chicago coach Luke Richardson said there’s no timeline for Bedard’s return. I wrote about what the Blackhawks would look like without Bedard in yesterday’s Ramblings. (Spoiler: Like an AHL team, but you [...]

Ramblings: Bedard Injured, Heiskanen Week to Week, Pacioretty’s Return (Jan 6)

By |2024-01-06T01:16:43-05:00January 6th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

If Connor Bedard is on your keeper team, I’m sure you’d love to bubble wrap him to protect him from the dangers of a full-contact sport. Regardless, starring in hockey means risking an injury at any point. Unfortunately, there's a real possibility that Bedard will miss his first game after he left Friday’s game with [...]

Ramblings: Moving Goalies; Kylington’s Possible Return; Clarke; Othmann; World Juniors & More (Jan 5)

By |2024-01-05T08:26:57-05:00January 5th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

We haven’t had a big goalie moved mid-season in a while now, and I’m curious if we see one this year. Between Jacob Markstrom, Juuse Saros, John Gibson, Karel Vejmelka, Jake Allen, Anton Forsberg, and one of Washington’s duo possibly being available among others, there’s supply to match the demand that can be seen across [...]
