Good day, all! I finally was able to catch some puck last night, with a newborn and my White Sox in playoffs those took priority - probably in that order as well. I was excited to watch some of the games and was treated to the Penguins laying the smackdown on the Flyers. Big thanks [...]
Once again, I’m carrying on a longstanding DobberHockey tradition of making Fearless Forecasts for the upcoming season. What makes these forecasts “fearless” is they’re plausible, yet more bold than normal predictions. As such, I expect to get more of these wrong than right, but all are rooted in logic and/or statistics, such that – right [...]
Welcome back to another edition of the Roos Lets Loose monthly mailbag, where I answer your fantasy hockey questions by giving advice that should be useful to all poolies even if they don’t own the specific players being discussed. As a reminder, if you want your fantasy hockey question(s) answered in the next mailbag, check [...]
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 [...]
The Analytics Era of the NHL – or since the 2007-08 season – has seen the game adopt new ways thinking about offence and defence, new ways to evaluate performance, and new ways to predict future results. Many fans don’t care about any of this, and they don’t have to. In the end, any pro [...]
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 [...]
Welcome fantasy managers to another edition of the Eastern Edge. This week we’ll be taking a look at Nikolaj Ehlers’ first season in Carolina, Logan Stankoven’s continued evolution, Jack Hughes’ dominant campaign despite injury and lastly the Philadelphia Flyers’ Trevor Zegras. Let’s get to it! Nikolaj Ehlers certainly made the most of his first season [...]
The Ottawa Senators were at home to the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night, but without defenceman Carter Yakemchuk as he was in concussion protocol, per Bruce Garrioch. That is obviously not great news for the young blue liner, though the Sens did also say that Jake Sanderson may be ready to return this weekend, so [...]
Adam Sykora found the net again for the New York Rangers, making that goals in back-to-back games. Adam Fox chipped in with a goal and an assist himself, while Conor Sheary added a shorthanded marker. J.T. Miller posted an assist as well. If you started Miller in your lineups this week, he would have given [...]
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening! Welcome back to the Injury Ward. My name is Logan Clarkson and every Wednesday and Sunday I will be taking you through injury news and updates from around the NHL. I’ll do my best to offer useful analysis and opinion as it relates to fantasy throughout. At the [...]
