Niagara Icedogs 2024-25 Season, Part II

This one got pretty ugly in a hurry in the last 5 minutes, it may have been in Guelph's building, but it was in your end the freewheeling was happening, can't allow them chopping the mitts off your goalie's hands like that. I think this why Boudreau was upset

Did you watch the whole game?

I am watching the second period now on replay, did watch the third from about the 7th minutes on, I may have hurried my comment. Looks like Guelph are freewheeling in the Dog's home up until now, more so in the first.

I wasn't referring to any specific thing. As long as I have been an IceDogs fan, I see these types of trades every year. Sometimes to our benefit, sometimes to the other team.

I will repeat my basic point. Picks in the OHL are very fluid.

So now, the IceDogs are in second place. How long before DDD pushes the trade button? Third? Fourth?

IceDogs employ a league low 5 scouts. The league average is just under 10 scouts per team and there are teams that have scouting staffs counting in the mid teens. It’s a pathetic situation here and he was been told numerous times by disgruntled STHs to do something about it.

In fairness, a lot of teams have a lot of volunteer " scouts" that don't really do anything other than wear their fancy jackets to the rink.

Sounds about right. Everyone wants to score, no one wants to defend.

There is no glory in good D in the OHL unless it involves scoring. Hockey people see the value but common fans don't.

100%. Other than Adam Henrich, volunteers is all the IceDogs hired.

Truth be told. The last three drafts has only confirmed that the IceDogs have one scout. John Walters.

Cheynowski is not an OHL level defender. We’ve seen him get burned so many times this year. I want to like him but I can’t, he’s just not good, in fact he sucks.

Watching Kevin He come to his teammates defense; a couple of additional goals from players not named Kevin, Ryan or Andrei were positives! Unfortunately, the play of our D continues to be a concern. IceDogs have given up the second most SOG (Petes most).
These type of weak defensive plays are becoming increasingly more common. Saves from Flores has saved several IceDogs’ D (Brauti and Wyscik excluded) from being part of someone’s highlight reel.
