Niagara Icedogs 2024-25 Season Thread, Part III

IF they decide to go for it next year the roster construction will be interesting but I’m still not sure they will because of the possibility of the MEM cup in 2 years

If they lose He and Roobroeck in 2027-28 then has to be next year.

Not sure if you guys are aware of this or if there’s been a post of this but was just checking out the different teams stats.

You guys have a -1 goal differential right now despite being a 5th placed team right now with a 27-15 record (holy east is stacked if you guys are 5th)

Ya, that has been discussed several times over the season.

When we lose, we lose bad. Or we put up big goals but the games are close.

Strangest thing actually. Fun to watch.

I believe the IceDogs have more shots against than any other team which is also weird for a team that is only a few points out of first place in the conference.

If you think they’ll be gone and DDD wants to wait that extra year because he thinks he can get the mem cup he could easily trade one or both and get a good haul including a teams first rounder from this year’s draft but If im not mistaken they announced next year’s mem cup host pretty early in the year this year so if its the same thing he can easily come into the year with one plan and pivot

USA will not be booed tarrifs delayed but I really dislike Erie since they stoled the Thunder.

I can see fans jumping on the national bandwagon and booing anyway. The delay of the tariffs doesn't change the fact that Mrs. Musk wants to destroy Canada.

As for Erie stealing our Thunder, it was abandoned by the fans and the City of Niagara Falls long before that happened.

If they lose He and Roobroeck in 2027-28 then has to be next year.

Doubt the corporation stays solvent that long.

Our relationship with the US is forever damaged. Sad but true. Play a recording of their anthem to be safe.

I wonder if it will impact OHL expansion plans.

When we lose, we lose bad.

That is the perception but not necessarily the case. The IceDogs have 21 losses to date and only 5 were true blowouts. 10 of them were by 2 goals or less and the other 6 were by 3 goals.

"Perception" is certainly a good word to describe it. About 4 games this year I gave up watching in the second period because we were losing pretty bad. It triggered my PTSD from the last 3 years, so I could not handle watching a bad loss.
