[Hammer9001]

Ice Dogs shade Hamilton 4 to 3 tonight in what turned out to be a barn burner before 4,540 fans Lodnia two goals to pace the IceDogs .

That was a great game all around. Well worth the trip down the road.

I did, had a Drunken Monkey Stout before the game and picked up 2 bottles of it, the blueberry and the old Time hockey amber.

That's extremely generous.....

A 5-2 game before the empty netter against a Gens team without their goalie (a top 3 goalie in the OHL), their captain (will be on team Canada) top Dman and another top 3 F. And the Gens outshot them...

I do think when both lineups are complete, Niagara is still better than the Gens, but calling that game impressive for Niagara is a bit much lol

Falcon called up for Oshawa

Don't know why St Catharines tweeted this, he didn't play for the Gens tonight and was taken off their roster like a month ago after he played 1 game.

It was impressive we lost Lodnia in the first and did not have Moore and three players at the Worlds only reason it was close was because of Hughes plus it was three games in three nights .

you seem to play the "we ran into a hot goalie" card a lot. Hughes made 1 nice save tonight. It was close was because Niagara (other than Tomasino and Jones) didn't really do anything special tonight and couldn't put away a badly undermanned Gens team.... For a team as good as Niagara is, I wouldn't deem that impressive

Oh my did you watch the game

Oh my did you watch the game

Mark Edwards (founder and director of @ScoutingService) tweeted this right after the game (2nd tweet he's talking about Hughes tonight)





So I guess Mark didn't watch the game either...

Fair enough but I watched it and I’d say it was a pretty sloppy game.Way too many penalties. For my part there was nothing wrong with the way Hughes played. Actually kept it close for awhile. Have to agree with three dog. The Dogs were just as short as the Gens and lost Lodnia early (great player) so if the Dogs were not impressive I’d say it’s fair to say the Gennies looked rather unimpressive. One of the save Hughes made was really something. Maybe give him a chance.

The road to the Bobby Orr Trophy goes thru three very good goaltenders. All of whom are currently not playing for their OHL teams at the moment.
The NID’s will need to beat two out of the three.

That is all.

 

[Drop the Puck]

Any injury report to #9’s right knee?
#37’s warmup injury?
#12’s lower body
And
More importantly, I heard Bones 911 fell over the tea kettle.

The Ice Dogs website provides email addresses for coaches, management, etc. Does anyone know how responsive they are?
And, can someone tell me the names of the journalists who cover the Ice Dogs in St. Catharines?
I have some information that I think would interest them considerably.
Thanks.

You keep referring to the missing Gens while ignoring the Dogs were miss 5 of their regulars. While I think Keyser May have made a couple more saves, I also think having Lodnia, Robertson and Sopa up front may have produced even more scoring.

IMO, the Dogs are much faster (at least they were last night). Their forwards blew past the Gens defence at will. Especially Tomasino who was able to do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted because the Gens couldn’t catch him.

In the end, both teams were missing key players. The game wasn’t very close at all as Niagara carried the play most of the night. The most impressive thing to me was that it was their 3rd in three and still had good jump all night.

To all OHL fans players and staff Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

With the Ice Dogs only having 3 2nds & 6 3rds left to trade, I wonder if 1st Rd Rookie Lleyton Moore gets dealt at the trade deadline. They could add a top 4 OA D-man with 2 or 3 2nds + 3rds. Add a tough ( enforcer type) bottom 6 forward with 3rd or 4th Rd picks and then trade Moore + remaining 2nd Rd and 3rds for a high end 19yr old forward......I was against the Dogs buying this year but now that they are committed to going all in then they need to push all the chips in to have a chance.
