The DobberHockey Panel: 18-19 Predictions — Part 2
Mario Prata
2018-10-03
With the NHL regular season starting tonight, here is Part 2 of our Expert 2018-19 Predictions.
Every season our experts band together to make predictions on the individual awards: top scorers, top defensemen, top goalies, and more. And even if we get together once again in April just before the playoffs, when we revisit our selection, we also take an early stab at the upcoming campaign's eventual Stanley Cup winner. To complete the picture, you can also check out yesterday's Part 1, where we focused on some fantasy hockey predictions.
Follow along below and be sure to look for our Consensus log on the last row, as well:

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins
Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.

Elan and Brian find a couple volume and potential starters showing up midseason, consider whether Jake Walman really is on the league’s longest hot streak, and encourage you to pause the pod for a Columbus 1C stepping onto one of the NHL’s best lines.
