The Eternal Optimist in me is predicting a 5 to 4 Dogs victory. We get up early and then barely win. As a metaphor of the season.

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
RR is not a problem, but he is one of the players sick and tired of the problems. Based of some recent behaviours, you get the feeling there are a few players who have no intention of returning next season.

No surprises tonight, other than the total lack of shooting in the second period.
Why is the lack of shooting a surprise they’ve done that ALOT this year where they just pass up easy shot opportunities to make an extra pass or two or have an odd man rush just to stop up in the zone and wait for EVERYONE to joint the play resulting in turnovers. As for the rest of the game thought they were fine (based on what I expected) thought the refs missed a penalty behind the Barrie net before the 4th

While that’s true it’s a habit for them that’s been happening all year so playoffs or not I’m not surprised it hasn’t changed
Saginaw did to the tune of 8 goals in the second last night
Definition of stupid. Team goes to a theatre, annoy and disturb patrons, create a scene, patron contacts OHL, players deny it, coach buries it, all while OHL has a rep monitoring the team. Things that make you go hmmm!
You can't fix stupid. #THEFISHROTSFROMTHEHEADDOWN #SELLTHETEAM

I expect young dudes to screw up. I know I used to and I assume I was not alone at making poor decisions when I was a teenager.
Hope they learned from it.

BB is no teenager. Amazing poor judgement for a team under investigation for behaviour and culture.
How? There were no consequences, as there haven’t been all season which is what gets you to this point. The inmates are running the asylum. They’re making this incredibly easy for the O to blow them out of the water.

Who said there was no consequences?
Again, we are working with second or third hand information that was posted in the Internet. Not a completely reliable source.

That's it right there. If you create a culture of discipline both on and off the ice, then that's how the players and staff conduct themselves. If there are no rules, no consequences, no plan and no leadership... guess what you get?
I liken it to taking your toddler out to a restaurant and trying to teach them table manners there and then. Culture, begins day one.
How do we know BB is in control of the potential consequences? For all we know he wanted to/tried to do something but his boss came over the top and said knock it off
Three years into his tenure as owner/GM and this franchise has never been in a worse predicament. When this season finally comes to an end next week, without new ownership, you can expect this off-season to be a train wreck.

I think we have gone down this path before? If we’re posting it, it’s true.

If that's the case (it isn't) you're a puppet and gone at the end of the year in any event.

Yesterday you said that some unexpected players might be scratched last night. Didn't happen.
Sam14, I really do believe you have some inside info. However, unless you actually work there you are passing along second hand info at best. Which is why I am cautious when talking about kids or young men.
Probably because Sam14 and others, maybe players, heard something was going to happen and it didn't.
By the sounds of things in the investigation (from what I was told at the arena) he is a puppet
