Niagara Icedogs 2024-25 Season Thread, Part III

[ScoutLife4]

It's pretty wild with how bad this team is defensively they did not make a single effort to improve it.
Missed opportunity there.
First place team that gives up the most goals in the conference.

No it’s not, like 2/3 of the east bought. Path of least resistance shows save the assets for a future year when they keep almost all of their major pieces. Buying a rental or a hugely overpriced 06 now would make no sense. Make the playoffs. Win a series ideally. But Niagara ain’t competing for a championship.

The team is quite simply too young, and small really to go beyond two rounds without significant additions that would require removals from the core. Let the 16-18 yr olds develop as a team.

It is clear to me they expect a decent playoff run this year and will go for it next year.

I expect they will address the D in the draft and off season trades.

And just like that ... Barrie on a 3 game losing streak. Ya gotta love it.

All the IceDog naysayers are pretty quiet this week. I know they would be here bashing DD and predicting doom and spreading gloom if it was the other way around.

I will ask again ... just give it a rest. Buy some tickets and support our excellent time. Its ok to admit you are wrong. Its ok to cheer on the team again.

Was on vacation. Back now, just in time to get a pleading phone call from the IceDogs intern, begging me to come back.
