There are four games this week including a rare Tuesday night home game, followed by an unusual Wednesday night away game. The IceDogs finished Week 19 with the same 25 points they started it with, and a 0.272 average after 46 games. Niagara remains in last place overall and 21 points away from a playoff position.

Yeah... I thought Kitchener might have been gettable briefly last week, but now I have very little confidence in winning any games.

The team we have currently will be hard pressed to win any games. That being said I think the compete / effort has been better the last few games. There is just not enough talent and the fact they can't get the puck out of their own end drives me crazy!

1) Shoot the puck! Imagine what would happen?
2) Finish your checks, no one is afraid to have the puck in the IceDogs' zone
3) Act. Don't just react.

They've lost 15 of their last 16. But, the owner says they're "competitive".

I found a definition that fits:

COMPETITIVE adjective. /kəmˈpet̬·ə·t̬ɪv, -ə·tɪv/ eager to do better than others in an activity, esp. trying to win in a sports activity

Completely agree. We do look a little better but we can't clear the puck fast enough and give up a zillion shots.

I feel so sorry for our Goalies.
