I'm struggling with my Adam Fantilli projection. Right now I have him for 30 G/29 A in 82 games, which is a bit better than last year. His per-60 production is good for his age, he shoots a lot, and he has very strong zone entry numbers. Everything else (defence/playmaking) is average-to-bad

Jani Nyman is shaping up to be a great fantasy draft value this year in deep formats. Set for top-6 + PP time in SEA, has the highest single-season goal total for a teenager in the Finnish league in 40 years, and 2nd by rookie goals in the AHL last year. Fantrax ADP > 600

Shout out to @wrestlingbrain.bsky.social for a great post-All Out show and to fellow Brainiacs Ryan, Eric, and Bob for having me at their table to talk wrestling. Super nice people all around. What a tremendous day.

Hangman/Protostar about to have an all-timer

I don’t know how it looked on TV but the live crowd was fucking pumped that Statlander won.

Afternoon Graps

@dennycarter.bsky.social jealous of a CFL game?

Today’s Blu-Ray haul: Toronto Edition

It’s been years since I’ve had a morning airport beer. It hits. Not a top-5 beer, but has to be a top-10 beer, I think.

Tweet-length review of The Conjuring: Last Rites: it’s hard to pull off a 135-minute horror movie. The mayhem of the final 30 minutes is really good but takes too long to get there.

Looking at defence tracking data again today and I'm using the last two years, so we don't have some rookies from 2024-25. Thought I'd highlight what Lian Bichsel did last year in terms of failed exit percentage and botched retrieval percentage:

Sucks that it looks like McGroarty has a long-term injury, but for fantasy, that's a wide-open door for Ville Koivunen. Easily one of my favourite picks outside the top-250, especially now.

today's Ramblings has some key injury updates from the 'first' day of training camp, and we're looking at arbitrage drafting centres including Bedard, Horvat, Johnston, Fantilli, and more dobberhockey.com/2025/09/18/r...

Thekla is someone I knew of and had seen some clips of but seeing her week in and week out is something else. That’s a world champ in waiting.

Man that crowd loves Bobby Lashley. I mean, we all love Bobby Lashley, but that crowd *really* loves him

It’s Wednesday and you know what that means

currently in a best ball draft that is tilting me off the face of the planet. hockey is truly back.

LIVE with some Best Ball drafting and preseason talk with @jrh002dfs.bsky.social over on StokasticNHL come hang and let's get ready for training camps www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjmf...

building off last week's '10 Stats' newsletter (free to subscribe), this week's looks at defencemen with very poor and very good puck management traits, including Xhekaj, Lohrei, Slavin, Marino, and more substack.com/home/post/p-...

training camps open this week and @jrh002dfs.bsky.social and I are drafting more Best Ball teams tonight so come hang out at 8 PM ET on the Stokastic YouTube channel www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjmf...

yesterday this little thread discussed how defencemen fumbling the puck in their own end (botched retrievals and failed exits) hurts their team's offence and not necessarily their team's defence. I wanted to expand on that a bit.

today's Ramblings includes some more arbitrage drafting opportunities including names like Robertson, Marchenko, Verhaeghe, Kyrou, and more dobberhockey.com/2025/09/16/r...

was working on tomorrow's 10 Stats newsletter (free to sub, last week's edition looked at common characteristics among playoff teams substack.com/home/post/p-...) and started digging a bit more into turnovers and stumbled on something I found interesting (maybe someone has already written about it)

Yesterday I had a long thread about specific teams I am (or am not) targeting in fantasy this season. Among other things, read why I'm in on the New York Islanders, which may be an indication of my grip on reality slowly slipping away.

All Out this weekend. Toronto, see you soon.

Tonight’s double feature: Punch-Drunk Love (2002) Flight Plan (2005)

I wanted to get my thoughts out on stacks to target in fantasy. I am using my projections and Underdog scoring for this: G = 6, A = 4, Shot/Block = 1, PPP/Hit = 0.5. Then I am finding the difference between my position rank for each skater and their position rank on Underdog

I’d like to toot my own horn here, as well as that of my friends, by acknowledging that this month marks the 20th anniversary of the Oilogosphere. For those who don’t know, that’s the name given to the group of Edmonton Oilers bloggers who appeared after the 2005 NHL lockout. 🧵/1

Don’t have fireball very much anymore but when I do I mix it with apple juice so you have my attention

re-watched the new Mission: Impossible last night after re-watching Dead Reckoning last weekend. seeing them close together you can really feel this was supposed to be one big movie. eventually someone like make a 3h30m cut of the two movies that is going to be *great*

Just finished reading Thomas Pynchon's 'Vineland' and had no idea that the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie coming out in a couple weeks was based on the book. A mind-blowing thing to me that won't matter in the slightest to anyone else. The universe, man.

Thanks to the ol’ pal QuickParty, got a script up and running earlier this week that will greatly cut down the amount of daily research for the DFS shows. This morning I finished the last Python course I had signed up for. Warm sunny day out. Might be time to slam some cans.

today's Ramblings looks at arbitrage drafting, or defencemen with similar projections but different ADPs, giving us good draft values like Sergachev/LaCombe, Heiskanen/Dunn, and Nurse/Pionk dobberhockey.com/2025/09/12/r...

Tweet-length review of The Long Walk: whew buddy, that movie is relentless. To say it is 'enjoyable' is the wrong word, but man is it good.

haven't really gathered all my fantasy draft thoughts yet but one thing I'm pretty sure of is that last year was the year to be high on/stack the Blue Jackets. Outside of maybe Monahan/Jenner (and then healthy is a question), I don't see the value there this year.

for today's Ramblings, with the news that Michael Misa signed his ELC, I wrote about some of the lesser-discussed rookies to take note of for this fantasy hockey draft season, including Misa, Snuggerud, Koivunen, and more (link below) dobberhockey.com/2025/09/11/r...

was looking up some stuff on the Edmonton defencemen and this isn't related to fantasy hockey but I *did* find it really, really funny

Not every day you see someone take a staple to the groin

It’s Wednesday and you know what that means

having done a bunch of online Python courses this summer, one thing online Python courses love doing is explaining something in the course and then quiz you on that thing but in a syntax/coding structure you've never seen before
