Hockey Rambling

  Goldie Says: If you're in need of a third goalie, Lawson is now a viable option. Now listed on the Isles' roster, he was solid in his NHL debut, aside from the shootout. But knowing DiPietro's history, Lawson should be on your radar.   Goldie Says: Roloson has been traded to TB for Ty Wishart. Roli's fantasy value [...]

  Happy New Years, everybody. Like the Winter Classic, Saturday's ramblings will be delayed. Expect them up around noon EST. Stay safe!   Goldie Says: Happy 2011 everyone! Here's my scouting report on Cedrick Desjardins' NHL debut. He's expected to start Saturday night against NYR as well. Terrific potential and upside as starter in this league.   Top 10 Fantasy Hockey Stories [...]

  Linus Omark is going to be a healthy scratch for the Oilers tonight.   Brian Rolston cleared re-entry waivers.   Kyle Okposo is at least two weeks away from returning to the Isles lineup.   MacLean-Turris-Boedker generated two goals for the 'Yotes last night. A sign of things to come?   The Kings are [...]

  There is lots of WJC coverage coming up. Sorry we are late with this. With some holiday schedule conflicts along with untimely illnesses, what we thought we could get done actually didn't get done. But Mr. Angus is on the scene now and will pick up the slack. Look for a WJC column from [...]

  Darryl Sutter has stepped down as Calgary's GM. I think we can all agree - he didn't have the vision. The prospect pool was pretty bare when he went in (I'd give it a 2 out of 10) and it's pretty bare now (I'd give it a 3 out of 10). His top centers [...]

  James Mirtle reports that the Wings have recalled Jan Mursak. Is this another player who will leapfrog Hudler, or will Hudler get another look on a top line still? Mursak, like all Wings prospects, is being brought along slowly (and properly) so I would be surprised if the doghouse Hudler is in is so [...]

  Cory Schneider is starting for the Canucks tonight - Robeto Luongo gets a second straight game off. Don't read into this one too much, Luongo's wife is expecting.   Martin Erat is a game time decision for the Preds tonight. He's been very productive over the past few weeks, and seems to do this [...]

  If you have any questions (fantasy hockey related) - post in the comments below. I'll try and get to a few tonight.   Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of our readers at DobberHockey. May you enjoy this one day break from the sport that we all love.   I'll have a few [...]

  Merry Christmas from DobberHockey! Have a wonderful and relaxing day. Some World Junior-related tidbits will be posted later on this evening.   You have to love hockey players - at the end of the game last night, Dorsett gave Ballard an ugly two-hander to the back of the legs. Ballard's response?  "I stuck my [...]

  The Pens have called Dustin Jeffrey back up. I don't expect a whole lot, but naturally that depends on the line he's thrown on.   The American World Junior team got a huge boost today with the addition of two Chicago prospects - winger Jeremy Morin, and defenseman Nick Leddy.   Bryan Bickell has [...]
