Patric Hornqvist will be a gametime decision, but it sounds promising. Drew Stafford will be the one who is scratched, and not Gerbe. At least, that is the indication. Elliotte Friedman's weekly 30 Thoughts is the best read in hockey (outside of DobberHockey, of course). Jacques Lemaire has announced his retirement from [...]

There is a problem for SOME people who try to load the DobberHockey shop in that it does not load the complete shop, but actually stops just after the first item. So these people are unable to order the Keeper League Fantasy Pack. Anyway, we should have this problem fixed at some point today. The [...]

Fantasy hockey question on your mind? Fire away! I'll answer as many as I can today. Dobber jumping on quick - Peter Mueller skated for the first time in three weeks yesterday. We probably won't see him tonight, but there is a slim possibility. Extremely doubtful though. However, if the Avs force a [...]

Nate Gerbe is IN tonight for the Sabres. Raffi Torres is a healthy scratch. Norris finalists have just been released - Duncan Keith, Drew Doughty, and Mike Green. Keith is probably the favourite but I have no idea who I'd pick... Green is so polarizing, those who believe the Norris should weigh defensive [...]

The NFL draft is today, and Sam Bradford has a great shot at going #1 overall to the St. Louis Rams. What does this have to do with hockey? Bradford, who grew up in Oklahoma, is a diehard Canucks fan, thanks to Pavel Bure. Check out an interview with him here. Per Michael [...]

The Leafs have signed undrafted goaltender Jussi Rynnas. Minors for next year. Philly.com is reporting that both Jeff Carter and Simon Gagne will miss Game 5. Carter blocked a shot with his shin and only played 33 seconds after that last night. Ville Leino will get back into the lineup. Simon Gagne left [...]

Ladies and gentlemen - I now make to you available for sale (although the guides themselves are not ready yet), in the shop - the 2010 Fantasy Prospects Report, the 2010 Keeper League Fantasy Pack and the "C" version of the 2010 Ultimate Fantasy Pack. That's in the shop, right now I stuck a [...]

The Denver Post reports that Kevin Porter will be back in the lineup tomorrow, and Milan Hejduk and Ryan Stoa are day-to-day and are "possible" for tomorrow. Still nothing new on Peter Mueller and David Jones. Semyon Varlamov will get the start for the Caps in Game 3. His home stats are far better [...]

Kirill Petrov WILL report to the Islanders prospect camp this June. It remains to be seen if he will be willing to play next year in the AHL, though. Andy Sutton's priceless interview with a reporter after the game is below. Priceless. Who does that reporter think he is, an expert or something? [...]
