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 [...]
No games scheduled until Dec 26th now, so don’t worry about missing any action while you’re tucking into a holiday meal with the family. That means the current fantasy week is already over. For those of you in Roto and points leagues, this is turning into a “wait it out” kind of time, but for [...]
With COVID wreaking havoc on NHL and fantasy teams alike, what better time to take a look at the top even strength lines of the season so far? Some of the names below might not have been on your radar or you may have passed them over without a second thought, but as of writing [...]
There just isn’t a lot going on in the NHL these days. Well, there’s a lot going on but there’s not much on the ice and that’s all that really matters for our purposes. Given there are just 11 games in four days leading up to the Christmas break – pending more cancellations – it [...]
Some of the names in lineups might not be recognizable during a few of the games from this past week as teams have been forced to scramble and get a few AHL players signed under NHL deals to allow them to play. I’m sure this has played havoc with most fantasy pools. This week I’m [...]
This upcoming week will be a frustrating one for fantasy hockey general managers in head-to-head matchups. Covid-19 is shutting down games at an insane rate. All most fantasy GMs can do is hope the few players they have remaining can put up enough points. As games will be rescheduled, this won't impact those in points-only [...]
*** Midseason Guide will be out January 15. This Guide comes with your Ultimate Fantasy Pack or Gold/Platinum subscriptions. It does not come with the Keeper League Fantasy Pack nor the Silver subs. You can pre-order it here. * So that escalated in a hurry. When last I Rambled (i.e. last week), the odd game [...]
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. COVID continues to rear its ugly head over both sports and the world in general. Postponing games can't be an easy decision. [...]
Well, we didn’t even make it to the Christmas break without absolute chaos ensuing throughout the world of sports again. It’s crazy how quickly things can change. Five teams (Boston, Colorado, Calgary, Florida, and Nashville) are completely shut down until December 26. Meanwhile fan attendance has already been slashed to 50 percent in Ontario, and [...]
Postponements due to COVID meant that a normally busy Saturday of 10 games was whittled down to just five games. The highly anticipated Canucks/Leafs game was officially postponed, as both teams had additional players enter COVID protocol on Saturday: Jack Campbell, TJ Brodie, and Travis Dermott for the Leafs; Tyler Myers for the Canucks. Sunday [...]
