Happy Super Bowl Sunday everyone! As is the case most years on the day of the big game, we are treated to a busy matinee slate of hockey games since I’m sure Uncle Gary doesn’t wanna compete with one of the biggest sports events of the year. Throw some hockey on during the day while [...]
A Jakob Chychrun trade might be forthcoming, although it didn’t happen on Saturday night. Chychrun was made a healthy scratch by the Coyotes for “trade-related reasons.” Not long after the game start in the HNIC second-intermission 32 Thoughts, Jeff Marek stated that a trade was not imminent with any of the Oilers, Maple Leafs, or [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. Building on my recent ramblings over at Dobber Prospects, this week is all about goalies. We will highlight several of the most useful ways to measure goalie performance, and then dig [...]
So this is/was the longest week of the year for fantasy hockey, and came with just a few fireworks. Bo Horvat being traded to the New York Islanders on the first Monday (while he and his family were at Disney World), then signing for 8 years, and Vladimir Tarasenko added to the Rangers’ roster.

If you’re one of those teams let’s work to grind out a win here this week and set up towards your next matchup.The Immediate [...]
Last week we kicked off the two-part look back miniseries by reviewing those players who have beaten their early season expectations. This week we will tackle those who have disappointed us and it is certainly an interesting list. To gather the data, I pulled Dobber’s point pace projections from the beginning of the year (available [...]
The last few years have taught us all to be used to seeing shocking news in the NHL on a near-daily basis, but what we saw from Calgary on Thursday pushes the boundaries of what we’re used to seeing in the league: Calgary Flames defenceman Rasmus Andersson was hit by a car while on his [...]
There are a number of significant trade bait candidates for this year’s deadline. We saw Bo Horvat get traded last week to the New York Islanders and that seems to have kicked off trade season. The next big domino to fall is St. Louis winger Vladimir Tarasenko, who is headed to the New York Rangers: [...]
