Niagara Icedogs 2024-25 Season, Part II

[Fastpace]

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 (class act) come to his teammates defense; a couple of 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 (Brauti and Wyscik excluded). Saves from Flores have saved several IceDogs’ D from being part of someone’s highlight reel.

Man, does it ever sound better with the verbal noise off

There will be another trade this season.

The Fronts have 2 games in hand. We are tied with Barrie. No need for panic.

He still has not received extra games. I hope it stays that way.

He and Brauti are out today

 

[dirty12]

He and Brauti are out today

Is that the extent of it, or what you’re aware of? I was thinking there would be 2-3 games off for 4-5 players.

The lineup for today is already posted and those are the only guys missing I’m assuming Kevin got the automatic 2 games and I heard Brauti could be injury and or suspension

Maybe Brauti, He, Spada were the only players to receive suspensions; not good, but could have been worse.

Spada? He played against London yesterday so the only suspension out of the game was He and ? On Brauti

Here are the IceDogs penalties assessed by the officials.
