Toronto goalie Joseph Woll was at practice for the team on Monday, his first in over two months. How long he needs to get up to speed is up to him, but that he’s back and practicing is a good sign for the team. Toronto has had their goalie struggles this season and Martin Jones, [...]
If we look at players’ overall IPP and percentage of secondary assists, we can see who drives play on each team. IPP - Individual Point Percentage, the percentage of goals for that player's team while that player is on the ice that the player earned a point on. Keep in mind that this is a [...]
It's no secret that fantasy general managers overvalue youth. Give a GM the choice between two equal players, but one is a 22-year-old and one a 35-year-old, odds are the fantasy general manager will choose the younger player. This creates a disparity in a player's fantasy value. Since more fantasy general managers value youth over [...]
Torey Krug had an outstanding Sunday, racking up five assists as St. Louis beat Montreal 7-2. It was a massive slump buster for Krug, as he entered the game with just one point in his previous 10 outings. This one game represents 20% of Krug’s season-long point total. Robert Thomas had the second-best fantasy performance [...]
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, Brennan Des and Dobber — 1. With the NHL back from its All-Star break/bye week combo, that means it's time to look at the stretch run [...]
Hello and welcome back to Geek of the Week! After writing quite a few articles commenting on the decreases in hits this season, we were left wondering whether gameplay has changed and people are hitting less, or if the counting of this stat has changed. Last week, the NHL decided to conduct a third-party audit [...]
From the games that I caught at least a part of on Saturday, tempers seemed to be more heated than normal. Of all of the nastiness, the story of the night was sparked by a slapshot on an empty net. No big deal, right? A suspension is coming for Morgan Rielly. I know Ridly Greig’s [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. *** Something that caught my eye recently was league equivalency work being developed by EP Rinkside’s Chace McCallum. He posted the following chart, which shows the top 20 highest league-adjusted scoring [...]
A little extra time on my hands over the All-Star break and with this week's slow start, this is probably a dangerous thing for a part-time hockey writer. I’ve taken to look at one of my favorite topics: fantasy defensemen. Dobber came out with his monthly ranking of keeper/dynasty D-men. I’d point out that his [...]
After Jonathan Quick started three consecutive games for the Rangers, Igor Shesterkin was back between the pipes on Friday. Shesterkin hadn’t been his usual self recently, as he had been tagged with five really bad starts during January and a 3.25 GAA and .863 SV% in 2024 entering Friday’s game. Fortunately, the Blackhawks represented a [...]
