Hello and welcome to my first Ramblings as an Associate Editor for DobberHockey. I wish it was under different circumstances, but as most of you know, Dobber is taking some time away from the website as he prepares to kick cancer’s ass for a second time. Aside from sending love and strength to one of [...]
Every Sunday, we share 21 Fantasy Rambles from our writers at DobberHockey. These thoughts are curated from the past week's ‘Daily Ramblings’. Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean, Grant Campbell and Dobber — 1. Defending Rocket Richard Trophy winner Connor McDavid has just two goals all season. More recently, he has just one point [...]
Hello and welcome back to Geek of the Week! In this week’s article, I am going to bring up two players that are getting plenty of power play opportunities, but aren’t converting. They are leaving a big hole in the category of power play points. I’ll give my take on whether things should bounce back [...]
The Edmonton Oilers have terminated head coach Jay Woodcroft and assistant coach Dave Manson, replacing them with Kris Knoblauch as head coach and Paul Coffey as assistant coach. Woodcroft finishes with a 79-41-13 record as Oilers head coach, which seems more than adequate in terms of job security. However, the Oilers have stumbled to a [...]
The Oilers were able to pick up a desperately needed win on Saturday, and that was in spite of neither Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl hitting the scoresheet. This in spite of the twin towers being used as an even-strength unit along with Warren Foegele. McDavid is officially cold with no points in his last [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. *** Despite having scored only three points in 13 games so far, Alex Laferriere (LAK) has steadily worked his way onto my fantasy radar this year. He scored his first goal [...]
The start of this season has been one of the more unpredictable in recent memory - which is usually a bettor’s worst nightmare. Take your pick of crooked storylines, there’s no shortage of trends across the NHL that few hockey pundits could have predicted coming into the 2023-24 campaign. Whether that be the upstart Vancouver [...]
I’m unabashedly a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, so the biggest news this week from their organization was that Jaromir Jagr’s #68 jersey retirement will be honored on February 18 at PPG Arena, after his playing days finally ended (?) at age 51 in Czechoslovakia. Jagr has delayed his own Hall of Fame induction by continuing to [...]
We’re now approaching mid-November. The team that you picked to win the Stanley Cup (and many of our experts, too) is buried at the bottom of the NHL sea, having just lost to what is widely considered the most toothless opponent in the NHL. Your fantasy team with one or more name-brand Oilers is underachieving. [...]
Welcome back all! We finally have a ‘normal’ week for fantasy on the eve of a week where it’s going to be more schedule issues. If there’s one thing, I’ve tried to do here in the early going this season it’s to really look at my fantasy team based off what I’ve seen so and [...]
