For the last 23 years (13 with The Hockey News) Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. The 24th annual review will appear here on Dobber Hockey throughout the summer. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but in the realm [...]
Alright, so this one’s a little different. Dallas and Minnesota are all but locked in as a first-round matchup. This is the first series of the 2026 playoffs that’s essentially confirmed. These two are seeing each other, and they both know it. They’ve got one more head-to-head left on April 9 in Dallas, the last [...]

The Dallas Stars fired coach Peter DeBoer after another exit in the Western Conference Final but a lot of the coaching options dried up fast. Just after free agency opened on Tuesday, the Stars announced that they had hired Glen Gulutzan to be their next head coach. For fantasy, it’s hard to imagine Gulutzan having [...]
This week we are returning with the final part of our playoff series review. In last week’s article we covered the teams that were eliminated in the second round and this week we are going to take a look at the final four playoff teams.

Marchment just turned 30 years old and is coming off [...]
The Dallas Stars had their year-end press conference on Saturday. As expected, Pete DeBoer’s replacement of Jake Oettinger in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final was brought up. Both DeBoer and Oettinger said all the right things about their relationship, but another comment that DeBoer made was interesting. DeBoer revealed that the team discussed [...]
The Edmonton Oilers are returning to the Stanley Cup Final. This time, they hope to finish the job against the Florida Panthers. Could be quite the series. Edmonton 6, Dallas 3 (Oilers win series 4-1) The Oilers scored three goals in the first eight minutes of Game 5. From there, they let the Stars get [...]
Edmonton 3, Dallas 0 (series tied 1-1) One major question for the Oilers entering Game 2 was which version of Stuart Skinner would show up. After allowing five goals in Game 1, Skinner pitched a 24-save shutout to backstop the Oilers to a Game 2 victory and a split heading back to Edmonton for Game [...]

Congratulations to Brennan DeSouza, Chad Simpson, Flip Livingstone, and Puneet Sharma, who correctly picked all four series in the second round! Here [...]
