Niagara Icedogs 2024-25 Season Thread, Part IV

There's just no way he doesn't actually know what the investigation is regarding. I get that its just the standard answer to give, but c'mon.
I think he is just saying that so that the reporter doesn’t ask any additional questions about the investigation. But I agree, he knows exactly what the investigation is all about.

The principal off-ice issues that are hard to ignore are:
- bullying
- player behaviour
- fired office staff members
- suspended GM meddling
- player discontent (several of them)

If a large number of fans at the games (and online) are aware of these problems, Ben is clearly steering clear of interfering with the investigation. Just coach is probably in his best interest.

Just went on X and sent a tweet regarding the Dogs with a #SELLTHETEAM. It might be worth our while to try to get a strong following on X to accentuate our voice

He'd have to. He is in the middle between players and upper management. He would definitely be interviewed by the league about the entire situation so there is no way he doesn't know what it is about. But he is mostly definitely in a position to be told not to discuss anything with anyone about it.

i scout, im not sure id call myself a professional but also pretty sure that i know more then most general fans and parents. i get dms and tweets and posts from idiots allt he time, i don't bother with it unless its to poke fun and rile them up a bit, personally i don't go back at them with my resume and say how smart i am, but thats me.
When someone tries to discredit me publicly I have every right to take a couple swings back and give them an I told you so.

I see you quite often going after "couch scouts" on twitter unprovoked.
The difference with me is I don't go out looking for it i just respond when called upon.

You said your model (for the 2nd time Dec. 2) had Brampton & Brantford passing Niagara in 2 weeks.
I said Niagara would likely be passed sometime after the trade deadline by teams adding if Niagara did not.
I had tiers subject to change Jan. 10

im speaking out on behalf of alot of guys who get pissed at guys who just take the easy way out. thats not the same as getting angry at someone who didnt agree with you and didnt just say what you wanted. who cares if he has a different opinion. thats not the same thing as taking shots at guys who disrespect our profession.

you just got mad someone didnt just blindly agree, kept a receipt and then waited months to let him know how wrong they were. thats next level narcissism.

It is literally the exact same thing as someone disrespecting someone’s profession lmao
That’s literally exactly what he did with me + pretty much told me I don’t know what I’m doing or talking about.

There’s a lot more to it than what was posted in these threads there was a bunch of DMs as well.
If you want to see next level narcissism go look at you’re own twitter!
You are the last person that should be calling someone a narcissist.

 
I have no problem with what ScoutLife4 said. He took a lot of heat for saying that Niagara will finish in 7th place when the IceDogs were still in first. I figure he took a bit of a beating back then so he is entitled to give it back now.

Is this a debate of grown adults or grade school? Using grown up words in your arguments doesn’t make it any better.
