Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site [...]
In a Ramblings two months ago, I wrote about player market share of shots, shot attempts, and expected goals. To be brief about it, market share is what percentage of shots, shot attempts, or expected goals that accumulate with a given player on the ice are taken by that player. So, if the Minnesota Wild [...]
Welcome fantasy managers to another edition of the Eastern Edge. This week it’s part one of a three-part series where we’ll take a look at the Eastern Conference top 10 forwards (part one) / top 10 defensemen (part two) / top five goaltenders (part three) - Olympic Edition. So, without further delay, here are the [...]
Happy Tuesday y’all! No matter what event is on, I can’t seem to turn off the Olympics. If it is cross country skiing, the bobsleds, or some other random sport, it is something unique that you don’t see or hear about everyday so it is nice to sit back and appreciate the amount of time [...]

As we head into the back half of the 2025-2026 regular season, it’s a natural time to identify players who’ve been producing at unsustainable rates. Some of these names are proven producers who can beat expectations year after year, but in most cases, regression to the mean reigns supreme. With this in mind, here are [...]
With the Olympics hockey is on pause and the roster freeze shutting down trade chatter, it feels like the everything has gone quiet. Although, that might be true on the surface, for fantasy hockey GMs, this stretch is actually gold. It’s the perfect window to step back, take a hard look at your roster, and [...]
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. As the resident Preds fan, I have a lot of thoughts on the Barry Trotz news. There are some mixed [...]
Some injury news to start: Pavel Zacha will not participate in the Olympics for Czechia due to an upper-body injury. Zacha has missed the past two games with the injury. It is not known whether Zacha will be able to return to the Bruins once the NHL season resumes. Filip Chlapik, who plays in the [...]
