Niagara Ice Dogs 2018-19 Season Thread (Part 2)

[knowescape]

So you were unemployed... and given that the team wasn't in town yet it's really not the same thing now is it.

Umm, so... hockey. Anyone here want to talk about hockey?

Predictions for Thursday? I think Niagara comes back with a vengeance and leaves with a resounding win in game 4.

Sorry.. I thought this was the attendance thread. Nobody's been here to talk hockey in almost a week

There may be other outlets for Niagara IceDogs discussions. But yeah, now that you know this isn't the attendance thread, does that mean you'll be going back to the London thread?

The topic was regarding the Niagara/Oshawa game until Three Dog Night decided to post his resume

Rich from some one who started an attendance thread.

Actually, it was about hockey (and attendance - yes for some reason that I don't know or understand TDN loves to talk about attendance) until you made it about unemployment and sociology in post 260 (link below) and then kept baiting him about his history etc.

Yes, we get it you are smarter, its like going against a one-legged man in a arse-kicking contest. But then to complain about a situation that you created and exacerbated is sardonic.

We could discuss the sanctions if you would like... but I'm sure it will evolve into another attendance discussion

 

[three dog night]

Sanctions reduced move on

Tell you what... you refrain from posting anything about attendance on HFBOARDS going forward and I vow to never post on the IceDogs forum unless my name is mentioned.... deal?

Why do crowd size bothers you from another city I just thought the crowd was small for a playoff game.

Just as I thought....

In a city where about 20,000 people are expected to be unemployed soon Junior Hockey is not at the top of their minds. Please stop with your attendance narrative.

Not so long ago, GM was also the largest employer in St. Catharines. In the heyday, there were 3 GM plants employing thousands of workers here, not to mention the Ford plant in Niagara Falls. Now the Ford plant and 2 of the GM plants are gone. Not sure how many are still employed at the 1 remaining GM plant in St. Catharines. We are well aware of the impact of massive job losses. I wish The City of Oshawa all the best and hope its economic recovery is speedy. With the support of the union and various layers of government, maybe they will be fortunate and land an alternative. The Niagara region wasn’t that fortunate. I guess we weren’t close enough to the GTA to warrant government support.

What do suppose the reaction would be on the London thread if I continually baited your weakest link? Do you suppose someone might suggest I return to beneath my bridge and await the arrival of some gruff billy goats?

Ignore him and move on, be a grown up perhaps? Put your superior intellect to a productive purpose. Please?

I'm sure some would say you already are

Haven't posted on the London thread in ages so they would be incorrect. So how 'bout it Otto, I stay off London you stay off Niagara and we both ignore the obvious?

You missed the joke

You missed the joke

You missed my qualifier that I was doing so "on your thread." Self-deprication aside, you are far from the weakest link

 

[fishfan51]

Nahhhh.... Knights Watcher is the weakest.... and isn’t close.

 

[knowescape]

I'd like to report my dogs missing. Has anyone seen them? They got lost somewhere between here and Pickering.

No this made me chuckle. TY.

As many thought, its going to be a tight series.

 

[three dog night]

Oshawa wins 7 to 3 to square the series next game Saturday night in Niagara

I resemble that comment!
Hate the player....Don’t hate the game!

I know Dhillon has games where he's lights out. And this will be an unpopular opinion. But, TO ME, he's not even CLOSE to DiPietro's talent level and ability. 7 goals on less then 30 shots? That won't cut it at this level, not even close. He had let in three goals by 12 shots against. Even if your D isn't boxing out, playing the man, you still need to make the saves. The Dawgs can score at will, yes, but I have long thought Dhillon is over-rated. It's about consistency and after this many years in the O, if he still hasn't found it for long periods of time, which is what you need in the playoffs after all, no way we make it to the Mem Cup this year. Or beat Ottawa in the East.

 

[three dog night]

So far no suspension

So far no suspension

It's posted now Robinson suspended for 1 game..
