It seams we have a good coach on board as the team has been playing well and in most games are competitive. Now can we please invest in a quality and experienced GM (not an inexpensive GM) to run the ship. It is something we have been missing for 5 years now. I think that would help attract next years best players through the draft and help us build out of this mess.

Niagara has seemed harder working and more physical. I think Podolioukh, Lavoie, O’Flaherty will help make Niagara a bit harder to play against than some of the bodies moved out

Can you imagine how good a Netflix Ice Dogs reality show/documentary thing would have been over the last 12 months?
Well, at least we don't have to worry about whether or not the team will come together later in the season. lol Castle wasn't going to play another game for the Dogs anyway so onward and upward. I actually don't mind what he has done over the last few weeks. Brought in a coach that seams to have the kids playing competitively and have brought in some kids that haven't been exposed to the gong show of the last year and a half. We might have something to sell the high draft picks we get this year: two top 5 players this year; a top 4 player next year and a Memorial Cup bid in 2026 or whenever it visits Ontario after 2024.
Just let the chaos stop. This team is worse than an expansion team. Getting 25 straight 1st overall picks doesn’t matter if none of them want to play here. The gong show of the last year and a half is STILL GOING ON. It hasn’t stopped. This team’s reputation is an absolute steaming pile of crap. That’s the first problem that needs to be solved. The agents and the parents are the first ones that have to be convinced. I still can’t believe that Darren DeDobbalaer wasn’t joking when he even hinted at the IceDogs applying to host the Memorial Cup. I honestly question DdeD’s mental health.

Another good effort. This team is playing better with our new coach. I believe if the Icedogs play well, regardless of record, from here on out that could help players, parents and agents believe that the worst is over. That being said, naming a new GM with OHL experience would still need to be done.

Class move by Jesus to stay on the ice after the game to congratulate Hardie on setting franchise goal and points record.

Tough schedule...4 games in 4.5 days...Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday nights followed by 2 pm game on Sunday. One game in one day is hard enough for the Dogs...lol. Although, I do appreciate the effort they are playing with recently.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't there a rule where they couldn't play more than 3 games per week?

I'm not so sure this rule exists. I think they can't play 4 games in 4 nights but if there is a day off in there somewhere they are good to go. It quite often is an issue with the top prospect game. Returning players have to choose a game to miss if there is 4 in a row. But maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong?

Tonights game is a make up game for the game cancelled due to Knight players death. Two players on the Icedogs were previously on the Knights
