Niagara Icedogs 2024-25 Season Thread, Part III

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
We had a few stellar transaction which account for a decent number of our wins. Loshko, NVV, Doherty for example.
After another colossal fail in the Import Draft, Loshko only became available to the IceDogs because of their 20th place futility the previous season. That is “stellar”. Wtf.
 
Yes, it was an excellent pick up.

I hear people in the media say that. I hear broadcasters for away games say that. It’s not just me.
DD has completely beaten an elite OHL team expectations right out of you. So, he has accomplished something.
 
I am not happy about everything Sam. I just don't pretend to know what is going on in the offices or dressing room.

The fact remains. We have significant improvement. No, the Loshko pickup was not automatic because we had all over overagers on the roster at the time.
 
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.
Just wait for it this offseason, if he is still the owner.


Virgilio, Brauti, Scott, VanVliet, Loshko, Doherty, and Arrowsmith is much better than Podrekar, Frolov, and Vermeulen; now, and going forward.. Doing nothing would have very likely resulted in another last place finish.

I don’t pretend either. Facts only.

Half truths that further you agenda

Really, the difference between:

Virgilio, Brauti, Scott, VanVliet, Loshko, Doherty, and Arrowsmith

or

Loshko, Bryant, Eliasson, Frolov, Doherty and Vermeulen

…is last place!!! LOL. 😂

You want to put your rose-coloured glasses on and escort yourself out or do you need some assistance.

Again, ‘doing nothing’ would have very likely resulted in a last place finish. That would mean no Loshko, nothing for Eliasson, no Doherty. And I think the Icedogs got a bit lucky landing Brauti & Virgilio. I think at least a few teams would have taken a chance on a highly touted OHL prospect like Virgilio for 2,3,4 picks.
There was zero chance of Niagara getting Eliasson. The Senators viewed Williamson and the colts as the best placement available.

Well. Unless you work in the building. You are passing along second hand information at best.

That said, don't let me stop you. I value your posts on this board. You know more about Junior Hockey than I do.
Just FYI. I don’t post anything that is not true and there is more that I refrain from posting.
