Walk around the arena and talk to the billets. They will tell you a lot but it's nothing that the players themselves won't tell you. I knew a reporter that got an inside scoop from a billet and it got posted in the paper. Posting info from a billet is no big deal in my opinion.

DD’s cost-cutting measures will continue to increase or he’ll eventually be forced to #sell the team, followed by a the return of 100s of former STHs (myself included x2)

The 2021 - 2022 season was when there was capacity restriction due to COVID. How could the IceDogs attract more fans that season than this season. This franchise has fallen so much.

Made you look
Besides, with the trouble Niagara has in attracting billets and retaining them, I doubt there would be consequences for that type of disclosure. It almost sounded like something the team would authorize them to say if asked. Billets are great people and the expectations on them versus the compensation is laughable.

It’s refreshing to read a constructive game post (as yours) from IceDog fans watching the game with an acute eye. It provides IceDog fans discussion points regarding team strengths and weaknesses, instead of the usual “great game” after a win or “need to be better next game” when they lose, that gets posted on the IceDogs’ fb and twitter pages.

I haven’t really liked some of the goals against Flores the past 2 games especially against Barrie but most of them weren’t great that game

1st in our Conference
8 in the OHL power rankings.
It’s just plain stupid. I don’t think we should be first or second. 4th or 5th for sure.

He, Loshko, RR and Crete have scored 63% of the team’s F goals. As coach mentioned, the team is going to need contributions from others F (especially with the D’s inconsistent play thus far) to continue winning games consistently.
On a more positive note, “Injures present opportunities” and in Max Crete’s case, it allowed him to go from 4th line to 1st line and ever since that move, fans are seeing the emergence of a potential top-end talent.

I don't see you guys as a top 5-6 team in the east to be honest.
By the end of the season you will likely be battling for 7th-8th.
Icedogs imo are probably a 4th at best 7th at worst in the east by the end of the year. Being 7-0 against the East division and 10-1 in Conference sure helps.
He was 15-25, not 5th BPA going into the draft. But it will turn out well, I think; Czata looks every bit a good 2-way player to me.
The IceDogs may up as the 7th-8th best playoff team, but 6-7 eastern conference teams are not passing them in the standings if He plays 60+ games. There isn’t a player in the conference that wants to win more than He.
Based on fan conversations with those in the office (and calculating seats sold prior to single game tickets going on sale to the public), unofficially, it’s quite possible DD lost approximately half of his inherent STH base (approx. 1200-1400 lost STHs) over the last two seasons. You are probably right in suggesting it may never get back to the “Burke Era” numbers, with DD as the owner.
It's too bad missing some good hockey games this year
