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 are a couple of weeks into the season and there are definitely a few slow starters that I’m looking into, some that I certainly didn’t expect to have to be worrying about this early. Vitek Vanecek – Goalies are the definition of fickle, and that’s especially the case in small sample sizes. When that [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll focus on the goaltending situation in Boston. We’ll also highlight two players worth grabbing from the waiver wire this week. Don’t be Swayed, Man The Bruins have only played six games, but a gap has already emerged between their two goaltenders. Linus Ullmark boasts a 4-0 record, with a [...]
We are back with another Tuesday edition of Game Picks, where we give out a Gold, Silver, and Bronze bet selection every Tuesday during the NHL season. Tonight, we are gifted with a big night in the NHL with 10 games on the schedule. I’ll be tuning into the Florida Panthers @ Chicago Blackhawks game, [...]
Today I’m beginning the transition from Yahoo DFS to the DraftKings site, which I prefer - although today I’ve intentionally made my selections similar for comparison. I’d prefer not to celebrate my results from Thursday, first truly spectacular “miss” of the season. For today and Thursday, I’ll list both the Yahoo and DraftKings fantasy costs. [...]
Welcome back to another edition of Lining Up. It’s early in the season but already there are controversies and injuries beginning to mount. This means plenty of players are receiving new opportunities to thrive and Lining Up will try to make some recommendations to help fantasy rosters in the week to come. Some are born [...]

As always, the full list can be found at (the all-new) Goalie Post (via the "rankings" icon found in the footer). While you're there you can bookmark it for all your starting goalie needs, or sign up for free (!) [...]
We are a couple weeks into the full NHL season and the injuries are starting to pile up across the league. Aaron Ekblad, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Tyler Bertuzzi, just to name a few notable fantasy options, have already hit the IR and will be out for lengthy, if varied, timelines. Ottawa has started to endure [...]
I’m going to assume that every NHL team and city has a whipping boy or two on their rosters. This is the player who rightly or wrongly is singled out most nights, for lack of effort, lack of production, giving the puck away, losing a check, or a crappy game Corsi. Since I live in [...]
We're still early in the season, but we're already starting to see some surprises. Some of these stunning starts can be accounted for by their strong power-play performance. Valeri Nichushkin has 11 points, five on the power play. Nick Ritchie has four points in five games, all with the man advantage. However, we knew both of [...]
