Niagara IceDogs 2021-22 (Week 05)

[NiceDawg]

I am positively happy there are no home games until next Friday! It will give the staff a chance to air out the Meridian Centre after that stinker.

Also, while we are on the topic of the Meridian Centre:

• What happened to the chicken fingers?
• What's wrong with the scoreboard horn?
• How about identifying the vaccine and screening staff and what they are after?
• Failing to secure the mats on the ice is going to result in a ceremonial concussion rather than a face-off.
• $11.50 for a beer?

There, I feel better now.

Glad I’m not the only one who realized something was weird about the horn as for the vaccine and screening staff do we really not know what they are looking for at this point?

I had a guy in a plain blue jacket get knobby with me because I didn't show him my green check mark. Yes, I know I have to show somebody but a sign saying that he is the one or an official jacket would be a nice touch since I am not psychic.

On the topic of complaining about the Meridian Centre:

$7.50 for popcorn ? Yikes
What happened to to the different flavours of poutine, my kids have also mentioned they don?t have ice cream or dipping dots anymore (which I am fine with because both were horribly expensive and now I just buy them stuff at the corner store instead for half the price)

$11.50 for a beer ?. Double yikes ? I have solved that problem but have no suitable solution for the popcorn lol

The rollout of the red carpet was truly horrendous last night ?. Cannot blame the guy for walking on the ice instead lol

Well I’ve only been checked by someone not wearing a jacket once but I’ve never had a problem showing the one guy everything jacket or no jacket

Hope they get a better system by the time it gets cold outside. I asked the guy if something is in the works as this system sucks. he said "lets worry about one day at a time". They need double the checkers they have to speed things up .

Now Howard would be a great idea to use in front of net on the PP..
Come on Billy Burke, thats hockey 101,, your best shooter belongs on the off wing on the PP

You are operating on the premise that our Billy is an OHL coach.

On the topic of OHL caliber…. I’m not sure that Rosenzweig is an OHL caliber goalie. His rebound control and positioning is Jr B at best. His rebounds were so juicy last night that he was often way out of position to make the next save. Fortunately Erie missed many open net chances from those rebounds or the score could have been much worse. Maybe he just needs more time in the crease to get comfortable…

Billy Burke is in over his head in my opinion. Will mommy and daddy ever see the light? I am also curious as to how much longer this team is going to go with 3 goalies. My personal experiences have proven to me that the 3 goalies on the team messes everything up in practice and games as well. Get down to 2 Billy. Make the tough call, unless this is the result of this pandemic.
