Niagara Icedogs 2024-25 Season, Part II

[dirty12]

Planning on attending some games in 2020s so your observations have some credibility (this is according to you?). Heed your own advice.

FYI. Until you show up to games regularly at the MC, live in Niagara or have been a STH in the past, your thoughts and opinions on here are worthless and mocked by many at the arena on game days!

Everything is a 1/4 truth from you. I advised one that either fabricated a statistical model or is unable to interpret stats to heed his own advice aimed at an internet scout that does not go out of his way to see live games.

Well, you can add Darren Dobbelaer as Owner/ GM/ Billet coordinator. Still a few more positions unoccupied after the recent removals in the office.

Very involved apparently

That would be cool. I charge a lot of money for my corporate naval gazing services.

What is cool? That some really likeable, hard working and respected office personal lost their jobs courtesy of DD?

Unnecessarily harsh

 

[Dogs Enthusiast]

No, my chance to help with the corporate BS.

All I know, the Dogs are on fire and you can't kill my buzz with the pessimism.

 

[Countyview]

Does the term arrogant and overbearing fit any poster on this thread? Btw, the employee news is two weeks and five wins ago old.

 

[IceDogs452]

Player decisions over the past 18 months have been excellent, a total rebuild that seems to have been successful

18 months is a stretch. 2023 summer was bad (not including the draft) and then there was Brody Crane etc in the fall… it’s been a good 2024 Of overall roster development and acquisitions. (Again not including the Eliasson bit).

 

[Sam14]

Unnecessarily harsh

Perhaps, but believe me he is an IceDog fraud (with zero interaction with the fans at the games or context to what is going in the Niagara region). If I had to take an educated guess, dirty12 lives about 484km away from the Meridian Centre.

Ok. Tell us what happened in the office.

Unfortunately one lady and one gentleman on the same afternoon. Always difficult.

Fits a lot of us actually. I prefer experienced and confident, but you can choose your own adjectives.

More cost cutting measures?

 

[Countyview]

More cost cutting measures?

Well if I were trying to give someone more responsibilities and more money that’s one way I might go about it.

 

[Sam14]

Everyone will know all about it soon enough. This story is far from over!

Because he's done such a fantastic job with ticket sales?

We can only hope that he is dumping poorly performing employees prior to receiving an acceptable offer to sell. #SELLTHETEAM

They were not poorly performing employees, but we can hope it leads to him being put in a “sell the team” situation.

I just noticed that you attached “5 wins ago” to the removal of two employees.

Is that your way of justifying DD’s actions and approving the firing (and reason) as a positive for the organization or blaming those two employees on the lack of a lengthy winning streak this year?

Who are the employees? What did I miss

No just pointing out you hadn’t acknowledged either in that too.
