Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean and Dobber — Available for Pre-Order: All of next season’s offerings are in the shop!

Hockey games – especially playoff games – are notorious for not playing out the way we think they will. After the marathon four overtime (nearly five overtime) game, the thinking was that the goalies would be tired and that you’d need to load up on scoring for Game 2 daily fantasy and game props. Not [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. In theory, fantasy sports are all about numbers. But emotions and psychology often play a significant role in how managers make decisions and build their teams. Some of us love collecting [...]
I’m writing this introduction Friday morning, since my Thursday - Saturday schedule means it’s the same series, and wow! Yes, I was awake through 2 am (Eastern) this morning, so the first coffee had limited effect. My first thoughts are that both goalkeepers should be credited with a playoff shutout for their resumes, that being [...]
As expected, we are down to just one game per day, or less, for the remainder of the NHL playoffs. Don’t fret though, as the fantasy sites have a format for this occasion and will continue to post contests up until the final horn sounds on the 2022-2023 season. A unique format that I haven’t [...]
Game 1 of the Western Conference Final also needed overtime to be decided, although it didn’t take nearly as long as Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final. Golden Knights 4, Stars 3 OT (Golden Knights lead series 1-0) Brett Howden scored just 1:35 into the first overtime period to secure a Game 1 victory [...]
The week we are headed for the third of four playoff series articles. Now that the second round is wrapped let’s dig into our newest eliminated teams. As a quick reminder, the teams that went down in the second round were Edmonton, New Jersey, Toronto, and Seattle. Like the last two articles we are going [...]
Only one game was officially on the schedule on Thursday, but if you stayed up late enough you got to watch the equivalent of over two games. Yes, it was the longest game of the season and the sixth-longest game in NHL history. https://twitter.com/StatsCentre/status/1659442425360945153 https://twitter.com/JayGold85/status/1659435773702152192 Panthers 3, Hurricanes 2, 4 OT (Panthers lead series 1-0) [...]
We’re down to four teams, and the Conference Finals begin tonight. Please raise your hands if you had these four squads predicted when the playoffs began, because none of the DobberHockey writers did - and you likely missed out, but now it’s truly time to take hold and ride the excitement. Is there a clear [...]
With the Eastern Conference Final starting tonight, it is a time to offer some thoughts on the two series that lay ahead in the NHL playoffs. Florida-Carolina is not a Conference Final matchup many (any?) of us had, but with the benefit of hindsight, it certainly does make sense: over the final 45 games of [...]
