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 [...]
It’s tough to talk about fantasy hockey in the wake of all of the news dropping from the result of the investigation into the abuse and cover up in the Chicago Blackhawks organization back in 2010. I won’t get into the details of the incident(s), the cover up, or the fallout here, but I do [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss players who are seeing more opportunity than they were last year, as well as players seeing less opportunity than last year. It’s still early in the season, so we can’t put too much stock into ice time averages because the sample size is so small. However, some of [...]
We’ve officially hit that point in the season where fantasy hockey GMs are starting to get frustrated with underperforming players. Whether it’s Marc-Andre Fleury, Mitch Marner or Roope Hintz, now may be the time where fellow GMs are willing to accept a bargain offer for a player that is really struggling. The key is targeting [...]
This week we are going to focus on an unsustainable stat line that goes hand in hand with production. The one metric I will be focusing on is points per 60 minutes (pts/60). I’m not saying that other metrics like 5 on 5 shooting percentage, PDO, IPP and CF% aren’t important, but I find that [...]
No matter how excellent we draft or how often we fleece our fellow general managers in trades, we often find ourselves scouring the waiver wire for help. This year appears to be worse than usual, at least so far. Not only do we have to deal with injuries, but Covid protocols are also forcing many [...]
It is Monday, and Mondays are usually reserved for Dobber. He had some other things to take care of, so he’ll return tomorrow, but you guys are stuck with me for today. We are nearly two weeks into the season and of course, all the samples are still too small for concrete determinations. All the [...]
As Week 2 is just about in the books, I figured it would be a good time to examine both some over-performers as well as under-performers and try to provide some insight as to what to do with said players. I find it’s such a delicate balance at the start of the season between being [...]
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 was concerned in the offseason about Steven Stamkos having two short offseasons, given his injury history. He had also seen his [...]
You’re probably had enough of COVID by now. Yet judging by the number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths still happening around the world, COVID hasn’t had enough of you. Or your fantasy team, given the number of key players that have spent time in COVID protocol this season. Last season was exceptional in the fact [...]
