The Carolina Hurricanes took stranglehold on their Eastern Conference Final matchup with the Montreal Canadiens thanks to a 4-0 win on Wednesday night. It gives them a 3-1 series lead with a chance to close things out on Friday night back in Raleigh. As the Hurricanes did for Game 2 and Game 3, they were [...]
This week, we are going to take a quick look at skaters who are on pace to reach 100 hits AND 100 blocks, which I term the 100/100 Club. In 2024-25, 38 skaters accomplished this feat, with only two of them being forwards (Noel Acciari, 180 hits/100 blocks and Brandon Tanev, 168/105). Blocks are the [...]
This week, we will examine some teams off to fast fantasy starts in the Western Conference and focus on skaters who are off to unsustainable starts in the 2025-26 campaign. These could be targets to sell high or players to be aware of on your rosters who are likely to slow down their production, along [...]
The 2025 Dobber Prospects Report is now available in the Dobber Store! With the Entry Draft just a few weeks away and the Memorial Cup behind us, now is the time to brush up on the names fantasy owners will hear called later this month. It also covers a bevy of prospects currently in the pipeline [...]
The Four Nations Cup kicked off on Wednesday night with Team Canada hosting Team Sweden in Montreal, with Canada coming out on top 4-3 in overtime. After Canada largely dominated through the first 20 minutes, Sweden had long stretches of controlled play after that and it made for a wildly entertaining game. It didn’t take [...]
Elan and Brian announce the arrival of Dylan Guenther, comment on the trials and tribulations of some choice Oilers and Predators, and search for players deserving of a warm blanket. Elan questions the meaning of life.
The NHL has reached its Four Nations Cup break. The regular season will resume on February 22nd, but there’s not much to talk about besides that tournament. In the good-news column, after some consternation as to Sidney Crosby’s availability for the tournament, he traveled to Montreal and took part in Team Canada’s first practice on [...]
It was a definite good news/bad news situation for New Jersey as they hosted Boston on Wednesday night. The Devils managed a convincing 5-1 win over the Bruins, thanks in large part to a power play that came alive for three power play goals. The bad news was that goaltender Jacob Markstrom was injured early [...]
Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]
It has been over 14 months since defenceman John Klingberg last played in the NHL. The 32-year-old blue liner has been out for over a year due to a hip resurfacing surgery, which is no small matter for hockey players his age. There had been rumblings that he was looking to make a return sometime [...]
