Every Sunday, we'll 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, and Dobber ___ 1. Brayden Point really seems to up his game in the playoffs, but hasn't quite put things together bringing the same production on [...]
With Round 2 wrapping up earlier this week, only four teams remain in the hunt for the Stanley Cup. Surely after the dust had settled from this past round, many readers’ brackets had been busted. A Golden Knights/Canadiens semifinal probably isn’t what many people had in mind; I know that’s not what I had. Meanwhile [...]
Our writer’s panel picks for the semifinals are now posted. Without trying to spoil the article, click on it to find out how many of our writers are picking the underdogs in these series. Unless you’ve been taking just a passing glance at this year’s playoffs, you probably don’t need me to tell you which [...]
Welcome back to The Journey. If you missed last week’s installment, I kickstarted my top-15 mock draft. As you have been reminded often, this is an interesting draft to make bold predictions towards. The variations are plentiful, which should make for a very intriguing couple of days when the time comes. Before we get going [...]
After a fairly strong first round (5-for-8), the panel did not fare as well in the second round with a 1-3 record. The panel picked only Tampa Bay correctly, while missing on the NY Islanders, Vegas, and Montreal. That brings the panel’s updated lifetime record to 112-72 when it comes to postseason predictions. The panel [...]
So that Vegas-Colorado series was something, wasn’t it? I was hoping Colorado would win Game 6 so that we could squeeze one more game out of these two teams (and because I picked the Avalanche to win). I just hope that the semifinal and final aren’t duds in comparison when it comes to entertainment value, [...]
Welcome to part four of our four part skater series. We have already reviewed centermen, left wings, and right wings. Our goal is to figure out which players gave the most value to their fantasy teams. To do this we are essentially comparing player draft data to their end of year stats to get an [...]
Vegas and Colorado went back and forth in Game 6 like Forrest Griffin and Stephen Bonner in the UFC cage all those years ago, but unlike that fight, this game had a decisive winner as the Golden Knights took a 6-3 win, and 4-2 series victory. Philipp Grubauer had a rough start to the game [...]
With John Tortorella gone, the Blue Jackets had been on the search for their next head coach for about a month now. The team didn’t have to go very far as they simply promoted assistant coach Brad Larsen to head-coaching duties. This kind of seemed fast as maybe there’d be more coaches available in a [...]
Every year we set expectations on players and predict final season totals. Every year there are players that come out of nowhere and surprise us. There are those players that perform almost point for point as expected, those ‘plug and play’ performers. And then there are those players we set high expectations on that disappoint [...]
