Hockey Rambling

    Welcome to the second of three straight Tuesday Ramblings for me.   Austin Wallace, DobberProspects Associate Editor, here:  DobberProspects is holding a mock draft this year, with all our scouts contributing along with Steve Laidlaw, Dobber and Brendan Ross, and myself! Come check it out, and join in on the fun!     [...]

My eighth annual Prospects Report is now updated and put to bed. Feel free to download it again and get Brendan's mock draft, and the 10 bonus profiles. Update: There was a Ryan Donato profile ('14 draftees) that was missed being put in - I put it in. So this afternoon marks the final Prospects [...]

The Los Angeles Kings hoisted the Stanley Cup on Friday, and are now back-to-back full season champions. Just as a fan of trash talk generally, I believe the Chicago Blackhawks should get more guff for their asterisk 2013 Stanley Cup. I mean, they would if Phil Jackson were a hockey coach...    *   By [...]

The Montreal Canadiens traded Louis Leblanc to the Anaheim Ducks for a conditional fifth-round pick. The former-first round selection just hasn't panned out and it's hard to imagine he'll have a better chance of cracking the Ducks lineup if he couldn't do it with the Habs. Leblanc played just eight NHL games over the last [...]

My eighth annual Prospects Report. My best one. Pick it up if you haven't already. An update will be released with 10 additional profiles (there's already over 400) and Brendan Ross's mock draft will give you all you need for the NHL Entry Draft. That update will be out within 48 hours after Cup is [...]

  There is one word in sports that’s so hallowed, so monumental and revered that you’re not allowed to speak it unless it’s absolutely obvious.

I released the Fantasy Prospects Report last week, but there will be a big update for it 48 hours after the Cup is won…which could be, uh, Friday. This is my eighth annual Prospects Report. My best one. * Kings in four? Quite the discussion as to who should win the Conn Smythe Trophy here. [...]

    I’ll be handling Tuesday Ramblings for the next three weeks, so mark your calendars for all the must read hockey analysis you can find…………..in June. Wait; don’t stop reading! I’ll make these worth your while - trust me!   *   Monday night saw the Stanley Cup Final shift to the Big Apple, [...]

I released the Fantasy Prospects Report last week, but there will be a big update for it 48 hours after the Cup is won…which could be, uh, Friday. This is my eighth annual Prospects Report. My best one. *** If NHL hockey teams were like houses from the Game of Thrones   Ondrej Palat signed [...]

It took five periods of hockey, a controversial goaltender interference call in the third period, and a historic comeback; but the Los Angeles Kings polished off the Rangers in Game 2 of the 2014 Stanley Cup Final on Saturday night, and are now just two wins away from winning the second Stanley Cup in franchise [...]
