By Chris Kane|2020-07-16T20:33:41-04:00July 17th, 2020|Frozen Tools Forensics|

As I explore the Dobber Reports, I continue to find really interesting reports and applications. There is a ton of data to sift through and many ways to look at it. We have had a bit of a mini-series on shots over the last year and I want to continue that today. This time I [...]

By Ian Gooding|2020-07-16T23:35:45-04:00July 17th, 2020|Hockey Rambling|

The Lady Byng Trophy finalists were announced on Thursday: Auston Matthews, Ryan O’Reilly, and Nathan MacKinnon. To fantasy owners, being nominated for this award should mean “move these guys down a notch in your rankings if your league counts penalty minutes.” If you believe the league will use a points-to-penalty minutes ratio to pick a [...]

Top 100 Roto Rankings – July 2020

By Ian Gooding|2020-07-14T00:36:18-04:00July 15th, 2020|Hockey Rankings|

By this time next month, the NHL should be well into its return-to-play plan with games in hub cities Toronto and Edmonton. This is provided that the COVID-19 situations in those cities don’t get out of control, though. Although play-in round and playoff stats aren’t counted in most regular-season fantasy leagues, we will keep an [...]

Fantasy Hockey Poll: Future Hall of Famers

By Rick Roos|2020-07-15T00:02:24-04:00July 15th, 2020|Roos Lets Loose|

In a time when hockey news and stories were virtually non-existent, last month’s inductions into the Hockey Hall of Fame (HHOF) received even more attention than they normally would. That made me ponder: how many future HHOFers might be playing in today’s NHL? And when I start thinking about something, you get to vote on [...]

Eastern Conference Players Who Dominated Peripheral Stats

By Brennan Des|2020-07-14T14:19:29-04:00July 14th, 2020|Eastern Edge|

In fantasy hockey, there are certain players we consider to be dominant in certain categories. For example, it’s a common belief that Alex Ovechkin reigns supreme in goal-scoring, that Patrice Bergeron is a face-off king and that Pittsburgh’s elite power-play results in a lot of power-play points for the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin [...]

Ramblings: Roos Digs Deep on Scoring Rates After a Long Break, Deeper Stats, Goalies on the Cusp and More

By Rick Roos|2020-07-14T09:47:13-04:00July 14th, 2020|Hockey Rambling|

Greetings Dobberites! I tried to figure out the last time I pinch-hit to do a Ramblings, and couldn’t remember, which means it’s been quite a while. Hopefully I live up to the lofty standards of the normal ramblers….. Although during these trying times it’s even worse than usual to be aging, part of the benefits [...]
