I have the pleasure of kicking off the recaps on the first Ramblings covering games from the 2021-22 season. Last night we saw four teams in action, including the debut of the 32nd team, the Seattle Kraken. They’re the most interesting team on the list, as we had very little knowledge of what to expect [...]
Well, it is here. The NHL drops the puck tonight for the opening of the 2021-2022 season and while there are only two games — including the Seattle Kraken opening up against the NHL’s 31st team, the Vegas Golden Knights. There are players across the league, though, that have favourable deployment that we should be [...]
A new season is upon us and that means new Twitter Hashtags for the NHL. Why, you ask? Well, because ... I don't know. I mean, why get fancy? Why not stick to an easy-to-remember hashtag that fans can sink their teeth into, and never forget. They would be more widely-used, which in turn would [...]
At the risk of jinxing things, we finally have a full 82 game schedule on tap again for 2021-22. Will that impact teams and players; and if so, to what extent? It remains to be seen, although what we do know is prognosticators will make predictions for 2021-22, and that includes my annual 15 Fearless [...]
Every year, the Dobber team puts together its preseason predictions in a Panel format. We go over, individual trophies, conference champions, the Cup winner, and more. We do this not only to get our thoughts out into the universe one last time before the season starts, but to help the reader. Aggregate opinions are almost [...]
With only a day before the puck drops for the 2021-22 regular season, rosters are taking shape and a few surprise cuts have been announced by teams. Some notable rookies sent down to the AHL were Calen Addison - Minnesota, Alex Turcotte - Los Angeles, Josef Korenar - Arizona, David Farrance - Nashville, Pierre-Olivier Joseph [...]
With the puck about to drop on the 2021-22 season, our writers weigh in on their predictions for both player and team awards and accomplishments. Brief observations: New season, same award winners? Or just a lack of creativity in the picks? The writers strongly favored Connor McDavid for both the Art Ross and Hart again, [...]
We're one day from the start of the NHL season, and every fantasy general manager is full of hope and optimism. After all, you made all the shrewd drafts picks and obviously won every trade. However, no matter how great you may have been, you'll still have a few players on your team that will [...]
I hope you enjoyed the Fantasy Guide this year. Tons of updates once again, and I’ll keep going through today and Tuesday. And if something major happens during the games Tuesday night or Wednesday, I will go in and give bonus updates! Grab it here. I stayed up late Sunday doing a lot of updates, [...]
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, and Dobber ___ 1. I've had a weird relationship with Trevor Zegras (don't tell him, though, it might crush him). I wasn't as high on him [...]
