I like Lochead for the top 4 and maybe Hunter but who else? McPherson should be good But I don’t see him top 4 on a championship team next year. I would love to be wrong on all of this...

I don't think that you are wrong on any of the above. Our D is way too soft.

I am thinking they could play for the Bobby Orr THIS year if they start to “click” again actually.

I get your concerns about the D but they have another summer to figure it out I think they’ll add 1 for sure (import) and that might be enough on D honestly

Small crowd tonight, it looks like. One of the smallest this season, but, not the smallest.

A little under 4400 right now. Small crowd for this time of the year with playoffs just around the corner.

Would it be the oponent tonight or are the fans in Niagara telling the management something.

It’s the opponent and that’s still going to end up being a good crowd I’d bet

Dogs have too many holes to fill on next year's roster in order to be legit OHL contenders and lack enough assets to acquire what's needed. ....The Dogs would have to mortgage their future just to be competitive, while other teams would go from competitive to Dominant and still maintain future assets.

7 home games in 16 days is my guess.

I think it’s Flints uni’s.

They’re terrible ...

1-0 Dogs.

Brady Johnson again? Wow. Didn’t see him being on the roster all year never mind 11 goals and counting.
