What a dreadful last few years it has been for me and my favourite teams at the NHL and CHL level. Both teams were run into the ground by their GMs and both teams play mostly unwatchable hockey devoid of any high end talent really.

Could be a long decade but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel know with the buffoon Chuck Fletcher gonezo in Philly.

The tunnel is still incredibly dark in Niagara

A decade???

BS

Things change fast in this league. I know you are upset and down on the Dogs. But a decade of failure is just a ridiculous thing to say. All it takes is a few good draft picks (even by accident) and that happens all the time.

Yeah a decade what did you not understand ? Lol

Next season will be 2023-24
So by the end of next season that will be 4 years of 10 in the 2020 decade that have been pathetic icedogs hockey. Are you expecting a miracle next year? Most on here are not.

You have to be the most optimistic person on the face of the earth if you think this bozo will get it right

Top players would not report here when it was not a gong show. They will continue not to report. Players will ask to be traded. As long as this dummy is in charge this team is toast.

I admire you LF eternal optimism do not get me wrong

But the writing is clearly on the wall as long as this buffoon is running the show

Agreed

Instead in early January he could be heard on a hometown podcast that he had everything under control

Lol

So after one period the score is 1-0

So this must be an incredibly close period according to your criteria I suppose?

I will just ignore these facts lol
Outshot 20-4 (at home)
Had a power play and they allowed a two on one SHG before they even got possession in the offensive end
Took over a minute to get possession in the offensive zone on that power play
The zone time in their own end has to be 75% in the Niagara end and they rarely ever touch the puck

But it is 1-0 so it is a close game

Wow the power play is a complete embarrassment

I swear the one pp in the second period we could barely get the puck over the red line Nevermind into the offensive end

Gotta give props to the pylon number 28 for his nice assist on the dogs goal
A good coaching strategy would be to let either of the LeBlancs bring the puck up the ice on the PP

They are both dreadful carrying the puck

Has Michaud been riding the pines in the third period ?

Must say I am impressed the team held Ottawa to a one goal victory!

Reading the play by play, he took back to back goaltender interference calls then seven seconds later an abuse of official misconduct from the box??

He yelled something at the official who made the calls against him after Ottawa scored on the PP both calls were interesting

[strohs]

Yes the first call I cannot believe the officials contemplated a major what a joke

Even a minor was a stretch

The second call was kinda gimmicky too

I dont recall ever seeing someone have a breakaway, do not get a shot on goal, and then end up with a goalie interference penalty

Lol

After the first period it was a rather close game but the lack of talent is mind boggling on the dog
They can barely get the puck over the red line

Flores played well the score was flattering IMO

We should get a point for only losing 3-2

Shockingly large crowd tonight for such a terrible team on the ice I think maybe some hockey tourneys going on in the area
