The Avalanche rolled into a snowy Toronto for a matinee and left having buried the Maple Leafs under an avalanche of their own. Brock Nelson was the clear headliner. He recorded a hat trick, scoring twice in the first period and sealing the deal with an empty-netter late. https://twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/status/2015531008154587223?s=20 Nelson now has 13 points over [...]
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, Puneet Sharma, and Dobber — 1. The Flyers walked into Colorado and did what almost no team has been able to do this season, which is [...]
At the mid-way point of the season we don’t typically see too many large jumps or drops in the rankings, but there are two noteworthy names to mention. Macklin Celebrini has taken over the top spot in the rankings, thanks to his continued torrid scoring pace, and his tiny cap hit. As a bonus, he [...]
The Buffalo Sabres are… maybe a playoff team this season? The Sabres are now 18-3-1 in their past 22 games, which has had positive effects on their players. One area where the Sabres can be trusted more than in previous seasons is in goal. On Saturday, Alex Lyon pitched a 26-save shutout over the Islanders. [...]
I read something today saying that Ontario would be the coldest place on earth this weekend, possibly dipping down as far as -50 Celsius in one part of the province. Mitch Marner sure felt that frigidness in the air on Friday as he made his return to Toronto as a member of the Vegas Golden [...]
After Brandon Hagel started the season with one point in seven games, there were many poolies unwilling to wait on him, and those who dropped/traded him early are now kicking themselves. With two goals and an assist last night, he has 45 points in 36 games since October 25th, adding exactly three shots per game, [...]
The San Jose Sharks have acquired Kiefer Sherwood from Vancouver in exchange for their 2026 and 2027 second-round picks and defenseman Cole Clayton who has played with the Barracuda this season, posting two goals and three assists in 33 AHL games. https://twitter.com/frank_seravalli/status/2013315969469308955?s=20 For San Jose, this deal is a signal that the organization is no [...]
I’m old. I’m not grandfather old, but old in terms of watching, playing and analyzing hockey. One of my first hockey memories was being given a book for either my 5th birthday or that Christmas titled “1974-75 Pro and Amateur Hockey Guide” published by the Sporting News. It was incredible. It had every player who [...]
Last summer, I put together a list of the Top 10 pending UFAs, and characterized the 2026 free agency class one of the most “fascinating” we’ve seen in a while. Since then, several of the biggest names have signed monster long-term extensions with their respective teams, thinning the herd considerably in advance of July 1. [...]
There was a trade on Sunday that saw Rasmus Andersson move to Vegas. There is no contract extension in place and Calgary retains 50 percent of his salary. Andersson leaves Calgary after operating as their clear No. 1 defenceman, logging heavy minutes at even strength and quarterbacking the power play. In Vegas, his role naturally [...]
