School of Block is an exclusive column for DobberHockey.com that runs every Monday for the enthusiastic fantasy hockey manager.
Launching in September 2007, Justin’s weekly trip into the world of goaltending provides fantasy hockey managers with unique and excellent insight into the nature of NHL goalies and the many other aspects of the position. There is a strong emphasis on mental toughness, performance trends, coaching decisions and unique but effective roster moves.
And why is the School of Block so important for fantasy hockey fans? Because the more they understand the true nature and influences of the goaltending position, the better decisions they will make in a draft or while setting a weekly or daily lineup. Look, finding stats and figuring out who is starting on a daily basis is easy to find, but School of Block brings you insight on goaltending BY a goaltender in a way never before seen.
So when it comes to fantasy goaltending advice and insight, stick to the professors at The Goalie Guild and get the gold standard method of improving your fantasy team from the net out.
