As we do each week, let’s start with some rapid-fire question and answers… Dobber, what do you think of dropping Lubomir Visnovsky for Alexander Semin? The most common question of the past week: What’s the deal with Miikka Kiprusoff? His numbers have improved slightly since then, but he’s not...
Rapid-fire question and answers… Dobber, I'm in a point-only league and with Sami Salo back on the ice, I'm tempted to pick him up off FA, but I have Poti, Carle, Ozolinsh, Timonen, and Visnovsky already. The most common question of the past week: What’s the deal with Jonathan Cheechoo? Back to...
Rapid-fire questions and answers… What do you think about dumping Patrick Marleau for Mike Ribeiro? More letters… I have four goalies: Ryan Miller, Carey Price, Kari Lehtonen and Marc-Andre Fleury. I started with Lehtonen and Fleury, picked up Price when Lehtonen got hurt, then Miller when...

The mail continues to pour in and I try to answer it all, even if it doesn’t make the Mailbag. This week, a pile of questions on underachieving players… I have Marek Svatos from Colorado and Michael Ryder from Montreal in a keeper league. Do you see Ryder bouncing back in the second half and...
Hey Dobber, I have a theoretical question: when one of your goalies is playing a given night, and one of your star forwards is playing against them, should you bench one in order to maximize the night's output? For example, when it is Ryan Miller vs.
With the holiday season ending, it’s time to get back to the business of hockey pools, so let’s dive right in. Dobber, I'm in a 12-team roto keeper league with every stat counting. In my example above, if you deal two 65-point players for a 70-point player and say, Sergei Samsonov, the other...
Rapid-fire answers to rapid-fire questions: Dobber, what is wrong with Alexei Zhitnik this season, is he ever going to produce anything this year? Joe, Toronto, Ont. Tough to figure what’s gone wrong for Zhitnik so far this season, Joe, but his ice time is improving and his plus/minus stat is...
The NHL trade deadline is five weeks away and many fantasy leagues follow the same date – it’s crunch time! Let’s get to some letters… I am in a 12-team league and I am deep at center with Vincent Lecavalier, Joe Thornton, and Evgeni Malkin, who is also eligible at left wing.
