    Default How\'d you hear about Dobber?

    I figure this could be informative to Dobber and his advertising dollar if nothing else...

    I saw his ad in The Hockey News fantasy guide last week and immediately checked it out. I bought the fantasy guide and prospects guide out of $20 I won on a prop bet in the NHL playoffs. I bet a Sabres fan that the Islanders wouldn\'t be swept by Buffalo.

    How I found Dobber:
    I was in the mood to make fun of people one day...I went to Google Images and I typed in \"pasty white guy with spaghetti arms\"...Dobbers image was the first one to come up and I clicked on the link.
    Hope this helps.

    PS, I tried the same thing on another slow day at the firehall, but with this caption, \"grown man reduced to tears after getting a beat down by Notch week after week after week.\"....You guessed it, Bursny!

    In another site I am a very small part of (Hockey Utopia), someone had said that he heard something here...so I checked it out. Bought the pool report that very day. I made a bunch of changes based on \&quot;new\&quot; info and am anxious to see what the next couple years brings.

    I was actually in the forums of my favorite Quilting Bee site and found a thread started by Dobber about what image (free download)and colors to use for an authentic Dobber Hockey.com quilt. It piqued my interest and over I came.

    I think I was scouting out some info on a prospect back during the pre-forum days. I don\'t recall who the player was, but I googled the name and \&quot;hockey prospects\&quot; or something along those lines. Man has the site come a long way since then... and now we have multiple pool guides!

    Come to think of it... a couple of years ago, were there any Dobber pool guides? Now that we\'ve got several editions I\'ve blocked out life without \'em! B)

    I was reading an online article on The Hockey News website and saw their ranking was done by a guy named Darryl Dobbs who had his own website.

    I\'ve been hooked on his website since July 2006.
