Can’t help but notice that all the naysayers and analytics don’t post here unless they can pile on DD. Never see them support or possibly enjoy how well this edition of the IceDogs are doing. Almost as if success annoys them. Great fans!

I think you need to manage expectations to a degree.
Giving up almost 60 shots to one of the worse teams in the league isn't exactly a great measure for success.
You are more then likely to lose that game most of the time.

Ok, giving up lots of shots is bad.

I choose to focus on the stellar goal tending, the 3 game winning streak, getting 7 out of the last 8 points. In the last week we have had two excellent players return from injury. 2 points out of first in the Conference and we are getting close to the half way mark of the season.

Amazing. Nobody predicted this, not even me.

Countryview is correct. This thread is more active when we are losing than winning. Which is just plain nutty.

the analytics model shows that both Brampton and Brantford will pass Niagara in the standings this weekend. :) Long overdue, the model showed 6 weeks ago that it was to occur in short order.

Don't think for a second I won't be back to tell you I told you so when they free fall in the new year.
Giving up that many shots and goals is not a sustainable model for success.

Is that going to be after the trade deadline where Brampton and Brantford might load up and address flaws; and when I told you six weeks ago that Niagara might be passed by those teams? Maybe statistical analysis and interpretation just isn't your thing.

My Christmas Wish is that the Ice Dogs go on a streak winning every game up to January 10th, and that Wassilyn collects 0 points during that streak. :naughty:
which would mean Wassilyn is still a member of the IceDogs?

Of course not. Lol.

Seriously though, FWIW, Luchanko wins draws and is responsible in his own end, blocks shots, drive the offense etc. And yes, I know Wassilyn is a gem.

If you think giving up that many shots and goals is going to equate to a success story in Niagara I don't think you are the right guy to be questioning other people's opinions or models.

Wassilyn, conditional picks (Luchanko 2025-26 season) for Alriksson & Luchanko; let's see it

Dude, your model has been wrong for six weeks; or, statistical analysis just isn't your thing. Not liking the IceDogs will not make Brampton and Brantford better.

What is wrong about it?
You guys are 8-8 in the last 6 weeks after going 13-5 the first 6?

Please make you're shot at me make sense.
I'd say I was pretty much bang on predicting the path forward for Niagara????

Why try and throw shots at someone that has access to all the advanced analytics and uses it to form an opinion on the team?
I'm not a crazed attached season ticket holder making biased opinions i'm telling a story based on the numbers. -It's really not that difficult to comprehend.
I don't know why you try and make it personal.

Why try and throw shots when i was right all along? Now you just look stupid.
Six weeks ago I told you to re-evaluate your data as Brampton and Brantford would not pass Niagara in 'short order'; but in the new year after loading up, yeah probably.

Why are you quoting "short order" when i never said that? lol
I said my model shows they will finish the season in 7th or 8th seed and predicted a fall off coming in which it started 6 weeks ago right after i posted it was coming lol.

I don't know where you are pulling this information from that you are framing as mine.
I get it you love you're team but you don't have to try and make it personal insulting my intelligence.

So my predictions (as merely a die hard fan with a bias) was more accurate than this software that people refer to all the time.

Interesting.
