There is not a single person anywhere (except you) who would ageee Paris was worth a 2nd and 3rd at the time of the trade and 108 gms -13 goals later you couldn’t get more than 6th round pick (maybe) for him.
Niagara Icedogs 2024-25 Season, Part II
- Thread starter SoupNazi
- Start date
Though many did, Sam14 included; I did not like the Ride trade to NB (for Niagara). I do like every one of the trades for ‘06s Wray, Cheynowski, Virgilio, Brauti, and Doherty.
Yet you pretend to know all of it.
That is not true, after the IceDogs overpaid for players, almost everyone in Niagara (the only ones that matter or truly know) figured the IceDogs would easily make the playoffs in 7th. So with Sudbury likely selling (Musty inj) IceDogs will finish 6th. Big deal. Three years later the damage done to this franchise on and off the ice that is a ridiculous accomplishment to boast about. With no draft currency available to them, It will be the same next year when they have trade Kevin He at the deadline
I don’t know “all”, but you would actually be surprised just how much I do know. Fact.

I am going to the game tonight. I predict ..... 6 to 3 for the IceDogs.
Despite a 4-6 record in their last 10 games, the schedule is in the IceDogs favour this weekend.
A minimum of 5 points against the Storm, Firebirds, and Petes is a reasonable expectation.
I’m going with 3 maybe 4 hope I’m wrong and definitely could/should be but this team hasn’t looked great against the west for the most part this year and that includes Guelph

Interesting weekend for the Ice Dogs, they'll need fast starts on all three games, especially against Guelph tonight.

The exact opposite. A slow first period, then a flurry of goals in the second. Kept feeling like it could change direction any moment. Glad the Dogs won, but why'd it have to be so close of a game?

Is 15 shots on net, a slow start for you, and another 14 in the next 20mi.?

That game was a lot closer than it should have been. Flores won that game for us with that huge save in the third.
In the end. 2 more points.

How many of them looked particularly dangerous? Or are you just going by the numbers?

Roobroeck two goals one in the empty net plus an assist paced thIcedogs to a 5 to 3 win over a a pesky Guelph team. 2,927 fans in attendance next game home tomorrow against Flint.
If we are going by how many shots looked dangerous then a lot of the shots against EVERY GAME need to be questioned and people need to stop using yea but they were out shot after wins

The issue was if the first period was "boring" or not. I said it was and @Fastpace said it wasn't due to the shots on net. Although relatively high in number, my opinion was that few of them were any contest. Both teams came alive in the second.
Definitely a slow (and boring) start to the game. In second period down a goal and game trending in the wrong direction, until Max Crete ignited the IceDogs with quite a tilt. That seemed to wake up the IceDogs as they responded with four quick goals. Outplayed in the third and Guaranteed the “save of the week” by Flores preserved the IceDogs’ 2 points. They’ll need to play better tonight. Go Dogs.

I am predicting a 5 to 1 victory tonight against Flint and Kevin He gets some points.
Arrowsmith played ok last night. I think he will be a good fit for this team.

Flint only has 65 goals. It seems they have trouble scoring and we have an excellent goalie.
We’ll see if they even start Flores with Robertson back they might give him a break

When Flint brings their A game, not many can match their level of physicality; and that is the IceDogs achilles.
I think all 3 things can be true at the same time they the first period was a bit meh despite the shot totals but both goalies made some decent saves to keep it scoreless along with some shots that were nothing shots which Flores faces about 5-10 a game which leads to the high shot totals against
Yes he backed up last night

Well that is good news that I missed last night. I was always worried what would happen if Flores got injured during a game.
