Same players for today but they are really mixing up the lines.
You would be afraid to make mistakes too if every second or third shot ends up in the net like it has been (that’s including a few games that Flores played before he got hurt)I think they were doing so well at the beginning of the year that Ben let them play an offensive game to bag some points. As teams improved after the trade deadline, he knew we needed to add some defensive play to be competitive. The problem being that very few of our players are used to playing a defensive game. When I watch them now they look like they are afraid to make a mistake and are thinking instead of executing.
Pickell - he isn’t a shriveld cucumber soaking in brine.Kingston jumped to a four to one lead in tge first with two goals by Pickle and doubled the Icedogs 6 to 3 today in Kingston before 4,375 fans . Loshko scored twice for the Dgs with Pars adding the other all three goals n the power play. Winless is n ten ow six in the conference after Brampton win today at home against Sudbury. Next game Wednesday in OwenSound .
I would think him or moffett would get a game or two with Humphries struggling but maybe since he’s your “goalie of the future” (at least for now) maybe you just let him keep playing and hopefully he figures it out those other guys being on playoff teams and good ones at that might also come into playDoes the Falcon goalie gets recalled Humphries is really struggling.
I think Ottawa can still get 70 (if they win every game) so 9How many points are we from securing a playoff appearance?
10 points away. Ottawa can get 24 points max in last 12 games (with 46 right now) and you guys have 61How many points are we from securing a playoff appearance?
The rumour I heard is the Falcons and the Meteors denied the IceDogs use of Jefferies and Moffett. Not sure exactly how that works.Does the Falcon goalie gets recalled Humphries is really struggling.
AP players first responsibility is their regular teams. Both played last night.The rumour I heard is the Falcons and the Meteors denied the IceDogs use of Jefferies and Moffett. Not sure exactly how that works.
BB isn't a defence first kind of coach.A few band-aid wins, to close out the season, won’t fix the deep-rooted problems plaguing this franchise. If we don’t get a change in ownership, expect another dysfunctional team on and off the ice next year.
...and DD did BB no favours disposing of valauble draft capital to construct this 24-25 d-core. There is truth to "you can't get blood from a stone". The considerable list of problems (players, parents, agents, season ticket sales) DD is currently dealing with (and will only increase during the off-season) is our only hope that he moves on from this franchise.BB isn't a defence first kind of coach.

Well, I appreciate your rose coloured glasses but wonder what you are looking at? This team is poorly constructed and has little chance for success.Bringing in Cheynowski (2.5-3.5 seasons), Virgilio (3), Brauti (3) & Scott (1-2); and VanVliet to stabilize this season’s defence corps was some fine work by the IceDogs imo. That is better and longer lasting than Sobolev, Podrekar, and Frolov.
Much of the defensive problems are too many young and small forwards to truly compete at this time.
Sorry DE. Only progress this franchise has accomplished is to continue to go backwards. For whatever reason you don’t want to acknowledge what many knowledge fans on here have expressed regarding the state of this franchise. I’m not about to put everything out here, but what has been shared on here is only the tip of the iceberg. This franchise under DD is in trouble. That’s the truth.The fact remains that the IceDogs made some good progress this season. (even with this horrid losing streak)
For whatever reason you don’t want to acknowledge
The reality of the OHL is if a GM did nothing their team would have a better record each year! What DD has accomplished in all aspects of this franchise is an embarrassment not an accomplishment.For whatever reason you don't want to acknowledge that we have a far better record this season.
So far this season = 27 wins
Last season = 17 wins.
A significant improvement.
