The second-round projections didn’t quite go as planned for the panel, as they picked only one correct series winner (Dallas). None of the individual writers picked all four series correctly either. Perhaps the teams remaining in the final four haven’t received the respect that they deserve. That’s why it shouldn’t be that much of a [...]
Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site and are also normally [...]
We’re now halfway through the playoffs if you’re counting by round, but if you’re counting by games played the playoffs are about 80% complete. With no games on the docket Tuesday night, this seems like a good time to look at some stats. Roope Hintz has gone a bit bananas in the playoffs this year, [...]

This will be the first of two parts as we’ll continue the discussion with a few more players next week. Alex DeBrincat Over his final two seasons with Chicago, DeBrincat scored at a point-per-game [...]

If you’re already looking ahead to next season, these rankings could be considered very preliminary rankings for the 2023-24 season and will be adjusted throughout the offseason [...]
This week we’re going to look at the top unrestricted free agents from the Western Conference. I’m going to include some intriguing free agents as well who might be of value in some banger pools. The West doesn’t have the strongest class of free agents, but there are some potential adds here. J.T. Compher - [...]
With the regular season still fresh in our minds, this is a great opportunity to start using some recent numbers to think about next season. One practical way is to look at players who saw a significant decrease in shooting percentage this past campaign. Why is this so important? A player taking 200 shots that [...]
