Niagara Icedogs 2024-25 Season Thread, Part IV

That sounds familiar with the Ottawa upset. What year was that?

2009

Ok, That was the first year I started going to games. I was a little bit late jumping on the bandwagon than some of you.

Decent crowd for tonight. Looks like a lot of group sales happened. Tonight's crowd might be be bigger than tomorrow night.

To get to 6th. The Dogs need to win 2 or 3 games and Sudbury loses their last 2.

With all the negative noise surrounding the team, I’m not sure if 6th or 7th really matters. Either way they are not winning a first round match up against one of the top three teams. More importantly, secure a higher draft pick and pray for new ownership, otherwise this franchise is going backwards in the offseason.

I agree that it probably won’t matter but that being said I think 6th would give them a better shot at a surprise (if 3 is Kingston) as for the draft pick does it really matter? How big of a difference is it from the kids in the 8-12 range

Could happen depending on when they play Flores again this weekend

 

[Dogs Enthusiast]

To get to 6 we absolutely needed to beat Ottawa. So I have given up on that dream.

Poor Loshko. That guy could not get even the tiniest bit of luck last night. He put in a good effort though. Flores played well.

I did not enjoy that game last night. Hope that tonight is more fun.

Looking at the standings. Kingston is still a good possibility. I prefer that matchup,

Hang on here. I just looked at the OHL website and how the determine the playoff seeding.

>> division leaders ranked one-two in each Conference.

I guess this means Barrie no matter what happens.
