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 [...]
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 [...]
This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to be digging into the young guns. We will be looking at their current production and giving some perspective on whether what they are doing is sustainable for those trying to make some short term decisions, but by and large the bigger question for these guys [...]
The official announcement for the USA men’s Olympic roster is set for today, but Michael Russo of The Athletic reported yesterday what the roster would look like. Remember that teams can bring 14 forwards, eight defencemen, and three goalies, so there are extra spots compared to the Four Nations rosters. With that said, there isn’t [...]
Hello and welcome back to the most trusted salary cap fantasy article in the world. Probably. This week is all about giving thanks. I’m American (bang-bang, what’s the hang), which means that I’ll be filling my plate with turkey, stuffing, and Ocean Spray cranberries (the way they’re meant to be) tomorrow…at least I think so. [...]
We’ve reached a stage in the season where GMs are wondering if the scoring paces of skaters on their fantasy teams will be sustained, both for good and for bad. This poll looks at skaters who fall into the former category, namely those exceeding preseason expectations, with your votes to decide the ones whose strong [...]
Happy Tuesday everyone and to our American readers, Happy Thanksgiving week! This is one of my favorite holidays because I am a big foodie and what my family prepares is always great. I also appreciate this holiday because it reminds me to be thankful for this life and how lucky we truly are. If one [...]
After ceding my last two Ramblings days to Cliffy and Dobber, I’m back and I have a whole lot of thoughts on some early-season starts from plenty of players in addition to some nuggets from games last night. We’ll start with those. * The Leafs lost not only the game, but also Auston Matthews and [...]
The Washington Capitals got some good news as centre Pierre-Luc Dubois was at practice in a normal jersey, according to Bailey Johnson. He had missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but may be ready to go Friday night when the Caps visit the Columbus Blue Jackets. * In the wake of a [...]
Continuing to carry on an annual Dobber Hockey tradition started long ago, I once again bring you Fearless Forecasts for the upcoming fantasy season. On a positive note, I had infinitely more correct forecasts for 2024-25 than I did for 2023-24, although that was because none of my 2023-24 forecasts actually ended up happening! And [...]
