Welcome to another installment of ‘Lining Up’. This past week we saw some really shiny helmets, fun and excitement in Columbus, and endless Coyotes and Blues. Before we jump into this week’s crop of possibilities, let’s revisit some players mentioned in previous weeks that may still be available in your league. Jordan Staal, who is [...]
Tyler Bertuzzi is out through at least Wednesday and has yet to start officially skating with the team. He had been off to a solid start with seven points in nine games with 20 shots and 13 hits but has yet to play in February due to his upper-body injury. More information as we get [...]
The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired journeyman winger Alex Galchenyuk from the Carolina Hurricanes for minor leaguer David Warsofsky and prospect Egor Korshkov. The Maple Leafs get: a two-time 50-point player and five-time 40-point player Galchenyuk, who just turned 27 three days ago and was the third-overall draft pick in 2012. Reaching 40 points in [...]
Weekly Western Leaders (to February 14th, 2021) Goals – 10 – Brock Boeser - Vancouver Assists – 19 – Connor McDavid - Edmonton Points – 28 - Connor McDavid - Edmonton PPP – 12 - Connor McDavid - Edmonton Shots on Goal – 62 - Filip Forsberg - Nashville Shooting % (min 14 SOG) – [...]
It’s hard to believe that we’re already a month into the season. Since the last Roto Rankings were released in early January, you’ll find updates on most players on this list. If some of the fast starters that aren’t on this list can keep their current levels of production, they may find themselves on this [...]
Sometimes it’s tough in fantasy hockey to know what to do with top players when they struggle. Players you draft in the 15th round are easy drops if they are struggling. You should have no worries about dropping the likes of Nikita Gusev, Alexis Lafreniere and Brock Nelson to the waiver wire. However, what about [...]
I discussed the hot streaks of JVR and Jordan Staal last week, and with the light schedule Sunday I figured it’s a great time to look at some of the other notably hot and cold performances of late. To be clear, I don’t count Connor McDavid’s 28 points in 15 games as notable (!), nor [...]
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, Cam Robinson, and Dobber 1. I know a lot of you out there like Nikolaj Ehlers, and even more so if he starts getting that first-unit power-play time [...]
Christian Dvorak quickly became a Dobber Darling. He was touted one of the best second-round picks of the draft and a real sleeper to outperform his draft position. To put it in context, forum members posed questions such as, “Who would you rather have, Christian Dvorak or Kyle Connor?” Today, it seems a glaringly obvious [...]
Yesterday I discussed how the North (Canadian) Division has been the highest-scoring division, even by average games played. So how about these for final scores from Canada today: 2-1, 2-1, and 3-1. Defensive hockey was really the theme for Hockey Day in Canada, making hockey coaches everywhere smile. There’s going to be some regression from [...]
