Dobber Guide 2011-12

[ross10019]

Nice job on the guide boys! Lots of food for thought, as usual, looking forward to the complete version with the team by team goals for breakdown, etc.

The more Dobber tells me that within 20 points of projection is a good thing and all the reasons why the guide is so valuable inspite of the projections - the more suspicious I get. Is this a marketing technique? Hell, I would buy it if you told me it is a piece of crap. It's always a wonderful read.

Stevie Laidlaw - unfortunate choice of a title - but wonderful content. People often don't read the small print - they often jump from the title to the first player named.
Very thoughtful section.

I want a special Dobber coin to flip when I have to decide whether Dobber or Angus is more likely to be right when they contradict what the other is saying. Of course, they will probably argue about the coin's design, whose head to put on the front and whose butt to put on the back.

Thanks to the Guide team who put this together - trying to get guide day as a national holiday in Korea - might happen now that the winter O's are coming.

Awesome piece of work as always!

Dobbers confidence that Leighton will be the starter: 100%

Thank you!
Will look into the FF issue

The xlsx version should be okay, as I did it with the playoff one. But will look into that as well. The Draft list is not available right now anyway

Shoeless - changed the Laidlaw title, you are correct.
I also had that fear when I wrote that one piece. But I'm thrilled with this year's projections, I just hate being judged by them. Last year was a good year though, and I have a great feeling about this year. But I want to help people beyond shoving a list in front of their face...I hope I conveyed that.

Not sure if there is one started but I couldnt find one. If there is sorry in advance.

I'm sure there are a few but I'll just name two to get it started.

Detroit - Second Goalie - Should say Ty Conklin

Montreal - Says Alex Auld but should say Petr Budaj since Auld signed in Ottawa

already a thread for this, lets keep these comments all in one place:

Dobber, I just loved your intro piece, well done! I think the key distinction between your guide and virtually every other mag/guide out there is that you EXPLAIN the reasons behind your predictions for most players, that is gold.

That's what I was coming here to say too. Made me laugh!

Well I went back and downloaded by saving rather than opening - it downloaded and I opened it with no problems.

But I am not very tech savvy so maybe get someone else to check as well.

maybe its not the browser that is the problem, perhaps its the version of Adobe Reader plugin?

Auld is mentioned twice in the Montreal section:

The Habs went out and got a backup who is fine with starting five games a season. And that may be all that Auld will get. Price will be played into the ground. Let’s just hope he can hold up all season, that’s the only question mark. Dobber’s confidence that Price will be the starter: 100%

I've asked Paul/Jamie but thought it would be worth asking here as well for others to see. They've mentioned that there will soon be an option to buy a HPG subscription and Dobber Guide as a combo pack - when and how is that being done? Thanks.

Dobber, I just want to bring this up again as I'm not sure on how it will work. I'm hesitating on purchasing both because of this possibility. Thanks.

[Dobber]

The Leighton issue was fixed an hour ago...but the damn conversion into Adobe is the reason for the holdup LOL
But the four/five typos I've found so far have been cleaned up.

[Dobber]

Horror - we'll work out a way that buyers of the Ultimate Pack can still get the deal on the other sites. But the package is with the Ultimate Pack only.
