The growth of the site has been phenominal, in both content and capability. As we continue to struggle with HockeyKnight.com (passionately, in the spare time after our day jobs), I can appreciate the early growing pains you must have experienced, and the courage it must have taken for you to make the leap to full time (we are looking forward to that day!). Nice to see you recognize those along the way that have helped you, including your family. It will be interesting to see what the next five years bring. Cheers! JT PS - that Gervais for Brassard trade you suggested a few years back, not working out so well - yet :) - HockeyKnight Sat, 06 Nov 2010 08:38:41 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9560 Unfortunatly no I dont have them dated, but I've saved them on my facebook as favorite quotes ever. The Yashin one was for like 3-4 years ago near the start of the KHL existantce when Yashin was being offered his KHL contract and saying he may possibly wanna come back to the NHL. Nashville one was 2 years ago when they had the 2nd bid come in, Obviously, and I believe you posted it the day after they had a gient season ticketholder/fans rally in the city... I believe the Bouchard one was late season... possibly just after the season ended when teams give thier updates on injured players. I dunno how far your rambelings are recorded back but you can go back day by day and find the date... - Jason Banks Sat, 06 Nov 2010 06:54:01 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9559 Thank you everyone! Again! Banks - those lines are gold. Do you have them saved somewhere? If you have more, I'd love to discuss, email me. Especially if they're dated - Dobber Sat, 06 Nov 2010 05:45:21 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9558 Pure and simple, the best hockey and fantasy hockey resource out there. I love this site so much. All the writers are great. Everything about the forum is great and the tools are outstanding. Well done Dobber and the entire crew, from A to Z. - agentzero Sat, 06 Nov 2010 04:56:49 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9541 Hey Daryl, congrats. I've been a daily reader since just before you changed to this web design, I know I was frustrated when you did cause I thought I lost your site after only reading for a few weeks. I also would like to inquire what happened with you selling the site? I remeber a posting over a year ago about you making a deal to sell the site, I dunno if your currently running under that deal or if it fell through... but I remeber the big long rambleing on it and you feelings on it. Once again great job, all your hits are proof of it! I'd like to repost my Favorite Dobber Quotes ever, some people may remeber these: "If Yashin takes off, he will become my new 'most brilliant man in hockey'. It's hilarious when guys suck as much money as they can from the greedy league, give little back, and then leave early to enjoy the money. Alexandre Daigle did that...but then he ran out of money and had to make a comeback. He came back, made a couple of million and then left again. Brilliant!" "I love all these knee-jerk reactions in cities that are close to losing their team. Winnipeg, Minnesota, Quebec, and now Nashville's rallying support for season tickets and even an alternate bid. Here's a thought - try doing this in the first place so it doesn't come to this. Why don't you give that a shot? You truly don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. These cities are like an abusive boyfriend, suddenly becoming really really nice now that the woman has just told him she wants to break up." "Pierre-Marc Bouchard is still battling concussion problems. The team denies it is a concussion - just "recurring headaches". The team can call it lollypops and chocolate bars if they want. We know what it really is." - Jason Banks Fri, 05 Nov 2010 14:03:45 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9539 Congratulations on making fantasy hockey a full-time job Dobber. That must be amazing. Definitely one of the coolest things to come out of West Shore. Way to represent, haha! One note: I read the old Dobber's Take columns and was laughing my ass off -- especially the one about Anson Carter. I'd welcome a bunch of that non-PC hilarity back into the ramblings, at least occasionally. - chimp82x Fri, 05 Nov 2010 12:14:57 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9538 Congrats to you and your whole staff. You all do a great job and it is by far the best forums I have ever seen. Thank also to all the poster that also make this a great site. - Scott Parker Fri, 05 Nov 2010 11:08:39 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9537 Thanks for feeding my addiction for these past few years! Keep it up! - David Fri, 05 Nov 2010 10:38:50 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9535 Congrats to you Dobber and to all the crew! You've improved almost day after day since I joined. I've said it many time, but you also have the best forum community I've ever seen and you should be proud of that. Cheers! - Chicleteur Fri, 05 Nov 2010 09:53:54 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9534 Glad your marriage is strong, because your site, and the time I spend on it and my fantasy team,has ruined mine >:( - nblobstr Fri, 05 Nov 2010 09:53:52 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9533 No Dobber, thank You! I dont remember exactly when I found dobberhockey, but it must have been quite early. The first thing I remember was your clown list (or articles...). I was thinking; ok some jerk here that needs to be funny But he has something to say about fantasy hockey and I need help! So lets try... Stuck ever since and loving it! I am here 10 times a day, not writiong a lot, but reading alot. Its amazing that a site can gather that amount of knowledge that this site have! Con grats Dobber! - Pontus Andersson Fri, 05 Nov 2010 09:35:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9531 man does reading through those old posts bring back memories. I actually kinda miss the old politically-incorrectness. I understand why it had to change (as more people started to follow the site), and I love that the educated eye can still catch it every now and then when you write, but those opinions and hard-lines you used to take was one of the reasons I initially started frequenting the site. There's nothing better than someone actually speaking their mind and telling it how it is. Luckily, while you've gotten more P.C. over the years, this facet hasn't changed. Looking forward to another 5 Mr. Dobbs! - lanky522 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 09:20:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9530 Great story! Dobber, I really admire your determination and courage in the beginning when the times were tough. Not many people have a possibility to combine a hobby and the job. I am so jealous :) DobberHockey is simply the best site. Ramblings, forum, columns by the contributors (Jeff and Justin being the personal favs), guides etc.. Thanks!! - BabyElias Fri, 05 Nov 2010 09:09:33 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9529 Congratulations Dobber. You have a great site. I'm just disappointed that all of the other guys in my pools are now regularly reading the posts and buying the guides. I guess it was inevitable given the quality of content here. Keep pushing the envelope Dobber. - Mabus Fri, 05 Nov 2010 09:06:58 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9528 I've been on this site since 2006 when my brother introduced it to me. We would be talking hockey at the dinner table and Dobber's name would pop up probably weekly...but a few years later at the dinner table 90% of our hockey talk was the ramblings haha. This guy is a great contribution and basically a pioneer of fantasy hockey information seeing as it never really came close to football/baseball until recent (in Canada at least). I always wondered about this story and its great that you finally posted it. You're always there to give your thoughts/opinions on whats going on in the world of hockey and even ready to post on the smallest 'who would you pick between' thread. Thank's a lot Dobber (and the rest of the team!) and keep up the great work! - littleranger Fri, 05 Nov 2010 08:55:43 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9527 Simply amazing, kudos Dobber! Also a big thanks to all the past and present columnists that made dobberhockey what it is today. What a great team. And I can't forget to give a special thanks to all the forum contributors too. Without all of you, I myself wouldn't be the hockey poolie I am today. I raise my glass to everyone involved and proudly say "To many more years!" Cheers guys :D - GMGates Fri, 05 Nov 2010 08:44:25 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/3224-dobberhockey-looking-back-on-five-years#comment-9525 congrats to dobber and company. this site has taken over my life. its the first thing i check every morning. the ramblings are always informative, the articles are always great, and the forum is awesome. - praba Fri, 05 Nov 2010 08:26:56 +0100
