The Pittsburgh Penguins got a boost to the lineup as goaltender Tristan Jarry was in net for the team’s game at home to the New York Islanders on Monday night. He had missed nearly a month with an upper-body injury and has just three starts in calendar 2023. Staying healthy has been an ongoing concern [...]
Dobber’s Frozen Tools has a new feature available to Patreon members that gives the ability to look at every team’s last three games and see what the lines were at even strength, on the power play and shorthanded for that period. I realize I don’t write the Frozen Tools column any longer but I still [...]
Sometimes, you need to treat your fantasy team like a real NHL team. Sure, you need superstars to win championships, but don't overlook what some of the underrated players can bring to the table. For the last few weeks, this column has been focusing on players to try to acquire for next season and beyond, [...]
Mark this down – the Ottawa Senators will be the offensive juggernaut next season that the Buffalo Sabres have been in this one. Mark it! All the pieces are there. So much upside in their young players – and that’s without the services of Josh Norris (mostly), as well as without Alex Formenton, who would [...]
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. The Maple Leafs are loading up for their Stanley Cup run (or just for getting past the first round), acquiring Ryan O'Reilly [...]
Seeing that Valentine’s Day was this week, I thought to myself, what better time to go over some of the players that might be due for a messy break-up. We’ve all got them… the players we were enamored by in the preseason. Guys who thought we would never let go of. But sometimes you gotta [...]
Let’s start the Ramblings with an official puck drop. Who doesn’t like a good boy or good girl? https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/1627116811836698624 I have to be honest – I had never heard of Carter-Finley Stadium, since I don’t follow college sports as closely as professional sports. Yet between the marching band, Ripken the dog, and strong fan support, [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. Only five defensemen finished above 70 points last year: Roman Josi (NAS, 96 points), Cale Makar (COL, 86), Victor Hedman (TBL, 85), Adam Fox (NYR, 74), John Carlson (WAS, 71). Three [...]
Buckle up, hockey heads, the next few weeks of NHL action (both on and off the ice) is about to ratchet up a couple notches in intensity. A blockbuster Friday night trade between the St. Louis Blues and Toronto Maple Leafs that included former Conn Smythe winner Ryan O’Reilly should have a cascade effect on [...]
We’ve reached one of the best times of the year to play NHL DFS, and we have NBA All-Star weekend to thank. With no NBA games on the schedule, the NFL having obviously completed their season last weekend, and MLB still a few weeks away from starting up – the NHL is quite literally the [...]
