We started off this idea last week, looking at various stat categories and comparing them to past years, and we are going to continue this week. We don’t have a lot of new information to use, and we don’t know what the future of the NHL season looks like so it seems a good use [...]
I just wanted to take some to highlight some articles I’ve enjoyed from our Dobber writers over the last couple weeks. Sometimes it’s not easy to draw attention away from everything that’s going on so maybe there are some things our readers have missed. Here are a few from the last 10 days or so. [...]
There was an interesting article yesterday on Sportsnet that talked about some compliance buyout possibilities should that be a part of the trickle-down effect from the Covid19 impact on the current NHL season that bleeds into next year. It got me thinking about not only who I would imagine to be the top candidates to [...]
In Tuesday’s Ramblings, we discussed players who outscored their expected goals rates by the most significant margin in 2019-20. The reason for that is just to figure out who might be overheating and who is not.

With all these newfound hours in the day without sport or socializing or basically anything, my wife has been finding projects everywhere. It's been a nice distraction. I have also been eating my weight in peanut butter pretzels. So [...]
In this week's Eastern Edge, we'll finish our review of each team’s most valuable fantasy hockey asset. Keep in mind that this is a subjective list from someone who's only qualification to write about hockey, is being a fan of hockey. So if you disagree with one of these selections, feel free to let me [...]

At the same time, some players are good enough to keep getting “lucky” year after year; I don’t think it’d shock people if Nikita Kucherov or Connor McDavid [...]
With the break in the NHL, this is as good a time as any to post the final four teams in the West and look back at their draft history from 1999 on. I’ve charted each year with the team’s point total (blue), the NHL average point total (green), the average number of NHL games [...]
