Brandon Hagel was the most common choice among Dobber writers as player to disappoint this season in the 2025-26 Season Predictions. It seemed as though they were on to something early on when Hagel got off to an awful start with just a single point in his first seven games. However, Hagel turned things around [...]
Friday’s schedule was much busier than normal due to Black Friday, the day after American Thanksgiving (is it an official holiday in the US now, or is it simply understood that workers will take the day off there?) It also meant that most games had earlier-than-normal start times, so hopefully your lineup was set in [...]
The drop offs in the rankings usually take a bit more of a sample size to show, but sometimes the jumps can come almost out of nowhere. That’s what we’ve seen early on from Jakub Dobes and Colten Ellis, two of the biggest risers for the November update. Ellis’ stock might still have some rise [...]

Matthew Schaefer and Alexander Nikishin will be much higher in the next update if they keep these scoring levels up. In the meantime, just enjoy watching them play. Standard pre-rankings note: This isn’t meant to be a [...]
The NHL’s heavyweight scene is constantly evolving. Given the excruciating demands of life as an NHL enforcer, few manage to stick around long enough to become part of the league’s folklore. However, this year’s heavyweight list features a unique blend of veterans who have carried the mantle for years and newcomers who are quickly building [...]
Buffalo wrapped up their week with an early afternoon tilt against Carolina, and they handled it with the kind of structure and confidence we have not always seen from them this season. Since Nov. 15, the Sabres have quietly built some momentum, winning three of four games. Toss this one onto the win column, and [...]
