Is Matthew Humphries the real deal? The young goaltender, called up from Junior A, is showing flashes of brilliance for the Niagara IceDogs, even stealing the show with some incredible saves. He’s being thrown into the fire amidst a brutal losing streak and facing top competition. What’s your take on his potential? Can he become a reliable starter in the OHL, or is this a temporary bright spot?

The IceDogs keep finding themselves in close games against Erie, with the latest being another one-goal loss. This time, they blew a 3-0 lead. Is this a sign of deeper issues within the team, or are they just snakebitten? They’re showing fight, but are they mentally fragile, or is this just a rough patch they’ll overcome?

With London looming, the IceDogs face another tough test. Are they destined for another blowout, or can they shock the Knights and turn their season around? What needs to change for them to find the win column? Is it a goaltending issue, defensive breakdowns, lack of offensive firepower, or something else entirely? Let’s hear your predictions. I'm going out on a limb and saying Niagara pulls off an upset. This young team is due for a breakout performance, and they'll catch London off guard.
