Not 100% sure but I think it might be goal differential and then goals for

Thanks... Head to head points then goal differential.

Not to take away from the win, but this just has me more and more worried that DDD will do something delusional.

It's an impressive season but by seasons end this team won't be in first.

Barrie was missing 4 key players, and they also have better assets to build up at the deadline.

I agree with the second and third paragraphs but not the 3rd. IceDogs have more draft picks than Barrie and better 07 and 08 class. Barrie is still better and going for it would be a mistake but saying their assets are better to add to the team…. Difference is their first round pick isn’t really producing so trading Vaughn won’t hurt them much this year while trading Wassilyn would be so so so dumb and he is our first line RW.

The past two Barrie drafts were very good imo, and really do have more disposable assets to make additions if they choose. Though reluctantly, Barrie can and probably will part with prospect(s) because none are fixtures in the top six.
Wassilyn should not be L1-RW, he is clearly better at LW; and imo, should be L3-LW with Assadourian.

All teams can conveniently point to missed games as an excuse for losses. The IceDogs would be 32-0 if Assadourian and Paris played every game, right?

Nobody would have guessed we would be debating the tie breaker procedure for first place in the Conference at the Xmas break.

Amazing. Go Dogs!! I am really enjoying this season.

Will Scott get extra games for the kneeing penalty?

I’d want to see it again cause I didn’t think it even looked like a major

 

[Dogs Enthusiast]

Ya, I thought it was more of a hip check than knee on knee. The Refs reviewed it so I am probably wrong.

IceDogs just posted that Flores has set an IceDogs record for assists. At 8 already.

Watching the game last night I was wondering about that. He seems to get a lot of assists.

He’s a great puck handling goalie. Probably gets on the coaches poll for it

Oh ya, I trust him with the puck. We have had some goalies in the past who made huge mistakes handing the puck.

I think we are going to see Flores score a goal this season.

He is confident playing the puck for sure

I think we are going to win tonight.

It looks like Brampton has 3 of their best players at the World Juniors, So the short bench will help us.

I will say .... 7 to 2 Dogs.

I’ll go 5-3 dogs.

What are people’s opinions on Mike Levin? Obviously he has a great shot and can be a good distributor but he is small (5 foot 8 157 pounds according to EP). He cheats a lot in the defensive zone where I see him hanging around by the blue line hoping for a counter. He has the worst +/- on the team. I don’t think he will be back as an OA but with 8 goals 11 assists he has value in a trade to a team looking for a 3rd line LW. If there was one player in a soft sell that would make the most sense it would be him IMO. A team like Kingston would make sense to play behind Miedema and Battaglia as the 3rd line LW. Still think Ethan Weir would be a good cheap get as a R shot 07 who has played with Roobs and is in a dire need of a scenery change.

Dogs win 5 to 2
