Popcorn incident

[strohs]

I would not be impressed if that happened to me either. And I'm pretty easy going .

That game was on national TV. What if the cameras had picked that up. That person would be on TV being thoroughly embarrassed and probably on YouTube as well.

I think it crossed the line.

I wouldn't want to be treated like that in another teams barn.

I think it's time for a poll on the popcorn incident ...

Thinking the puppy maybe needs a lil bit of a reprimand.

I also think the Matt and DJ. Twitter rants are offside and one could perceive (albeit incorrectly) that they speak on behalf of the Icedogs.

Really hoping this doesn't happen again ...

It's too bad that this happened.. I spoke to alot of Pete's fans and they loved the barn and the atmosphere.. hope this incident doesn't leave a sour taste for all the fans that came... it think it very poor taste to do that to a fan that drove 3 hours to get there and I as well would be pissed... also I wouldn't lose an ounce of sleep if the icedogs organization would chose to cut ties with Matt and DJ at seasons end

I am breaking my self imposed suspension to discus this issue and the new Bones. I witnessed Bones dump popcorn last night in the walkway where the Petes would have to walk out to the ice. The usher got a shovel and cleaned it up. Also at the end of periods Bones stands by the door and harasses the opposition. This guy should be replaced as our mascot. Nowhere near as good as the old Bones. Thats my rant, now back to my suspension.

Not impressed with Bones or Matt and DJ over this - an apology is warranted.

Maybe I'd just buy a drink that really stains and dump it on the mascot's head.

But if it happened to me, I'd be bloody fumin. Having salt and butter all in your hair and clothes is probably funny for some people to see... but other people might think it's funny to see a mascot having his lunch fed to him in front of 5000 people.

Butter Butter, we have butter for our popcorn? Lol

Referring to the other quote as well........salt and butter all over.Relatively little salt on it and absolutely no butter.

Did not see the incedent but sometimes the truth is somewhere in the middle was it he whole box or just some popcorn

[IceDogsThisWeek]

So many things to say here.....but I will try to keep it short.

1 - We are not affiliated with the IceDogs. We cover the IceDogs. We are affiliated with Niagara This Week (the newspaper) and CogecoTV (the television station) and IceDogsthisweek.ca (our own privately run website). We are very happy with all of these organizations and they are very happy with us.

2 - Maybe I am arrogant (its DJ writing). We have met many of you at the bars before or after games as we grab some wings. Strohs, I know 100% I have met you and we had a great chat. We welcome any and all fans to come and chat with us. We are pretty nice guys actually and would love to talk IceDogs with you. I guarantee you if you came and met us you would think much differently about us.

3 - Lackadaisical - huh, thats weird. This board, just yesterday, was saying we would be the first ones with the information you wanted on Willy Lochead. This seems hypocritical, but everyone is entitled to their beliefs. If that is how you feel about it I cannot change your mind. We are happy with how we do our work and actually work pretty hard to provide to you the content that we do.

4 - Everything I said there, and tweeted about I stand by 100%. As a person, I have opinions. My opinion remains that someone who gets mad about some popcorn on their head has to lighten up. I honest to god believe that. I will not apologize for an opinion you do not agree with.....

5 - Thanks for those of you that follow us. We will continue to cover the IceDogs as long as we can and appreciate your followership.

Enjoy the game Thursday night all.

Oh, and tune into the show at 9pm tonight

Actually whenever I have the popcorn at the MC it is loaded with salt and there is powdered butter on it, which is not really all that tasty.

No DJ, I won't tune into the show tonight. If you can't see that assaulting a woman is justified because "it was just popcorn" then you have a problem. It just isn't appropriate to humiliate someone else, and to do so with a prop, albeit popcorn, is wrong. Respect is gone.
