    Default Where did you come from?

    I used HF at the beginning of the year for Fantasy hockey advise, but overall I felt that the intelligence there was no better than your average 2 year old\'s.

    So I google\'d \"fantasy hockey forum\" and found DobberHockey. Haven\'t looked back since!

    This is the first, and only, hockey forum I participate in. I knew about Dobber through THN but didn\'t discover the site until I saw an ad for it in THN\'s Pool Guide for this year... it may very well be my last ever THN Pool Guide purchase.

    found this through the espn article dobber used to write i think a couple of years ago.

    BTW, I think that there should be some sort of betting area where people make bets using karma or something...

    I always got the THN pool guide and a few others that weren\'t as good just to try and pick up any info that I could. I was just googling to try and find info and ran across this site.

    I started to watch the forums and pick up the info and notice my brother had already found it. I spent the first few weeks (right before our draft) watching my brother\'s post (he made it too obvious it was him) and gathering info. Immediately ordered the guide. Drafted Carcillo from the guide and completely pissed off another GM who thought my brother told me about him (he didn\'t).

    I actually found this site from the forum at Hockey Informer ( www.hockeyinformer.com or http://forums.hockeyinformer.com/index.php ). One of the posters mentioned Dobber\'s site and I decided to check it out. I actually found Hockey Informer because I was looking for a site to help with goalie starts. So I found Dobber in a round about way.

    The one thing Dobber\'s site does is save me time. I use to read 4 or 5 sources to get all my fantasy hockey news/tips (TSN\'s Ice Chips, Forecaster Daily Slate, etc.). But the reason this site is so great is that the bullshit non-fantasy news is cut out. You won\'t get detailed injury reports on Jay McKee here. Just news on players that are worth owning.

    The one thing I do wish was that the Dobber forums were a little more active. I still post at HI because it has a great community and some great hockey info.

    i used to not be in forums at all and just looked through THN and rotoworld, then i joined fantasyhockeycafe\'s forum but they were really slow in their replies, then one of the ppl there refered me to myfantasyinsider.com which was good at the time but then it got spammed like crazy and was forced to shutdown but before that someone there told me about dobberhockey and i never looked back. came in 3rd 2 years ago when i didn\'t know about this site, came first last year thanks to this site, currently in 2nd and just clinched a playoff spot.

    I entered Futureshop\'s playoff pool last year, and I could be wrong, but I believe Dobber had a video blog of fantasy advice every week or every couple of days on Futureshop\'s website.

    At the beginning of this season, I was asked to join a Yahoo hockey pool (first ever), and climbed aboard.

    Like everyone else, I searched for fantasy hockey sites online and I recognized the \'dobber\' (from the Futureshop pool I think) in dobberhockey.com.

    I checked out this site, some of the columnists, articles and message board postings and was hooked.

    ...if I might add, we are currently dating, and she is quite a handful in the bedroom...

    My brother & I used to (and occasionally still) go to hfboards.com. He told me about some site they were talking about on the Rangers forum(dobberhockey.com), and now im hooked. I need to go to boards posters anonymous.

    I was pretty new to hockey forums, although I had been lurking HF boards and the san jose sharks boards for a while.

    I found this site when I searched for something about fantasy hockey, and this site had...well, a decent number of residents. It was back in the dobber mailbag(with comments) era :P
    Man, when the forums began, I must have made 100 posts in the first 2 days. It was probably the last time me and Lanky were close in that regard. :P
