I don't think Williams is burnt at all. Saw him play last week vs Niagara and thought he was tremendous, but his defense didn't clear 2 rebounds and blew it for him. He has actually played solid in majority of games recently. Looks the same to me as early in year. But the defense has been less than stingy. And with playoffs I expect Erie to raise their physicality and game. I could be naive but I have to believe they will. with full health this is a team that has 8 of top 9 forwards and 3 of top 4 defenders + Williams that all played in finals last year. They know the playoff grind. And after learning it in 2013-14 in the loss to Guelph, they learned how to raise their playoff game. They aren't burned out in my view just think they got complacent.
I've seen enough this year to say London and Erie should represent the west in finals. I think Erie is the only team that can beat London in a series. Kitchener, even if they get healthy, hasn't shown consistency. Windsor is too young and I don't think Sarnia is that great of a team. Now any one of these teams could win any series I guess but I just don't expect Sarnia or Windsor to win 3 straight series and even Kitchener (unless they get fully healthy and get hot fast).
Prior to this season, many posters / forecasters had high expectations for the Knights. 3 games to go & still in the battle for 1st. Regardless of the outcome, the regular season has been quite a success and has been fun to watch. More positives than negatives.
Open questions to all:
1. How far do the Knights go should they lock down 1st?
2. How far do the Knights go should they finish 3rd?
I totally understand that injuries, suspensions, could alter outcomes so to make things simple, let's pretend there will be no Knights injuries / suspensions
Good luck this morning ..
x2.
Let us know how you make out, and I don't give a "rat's ass" (as someone likes to say) how long it takes you type!
You don't want me taking over your job as moderator (in fact, only Otto seems to be ok with it!)
surgery went really well.
I actually ruptured 2 of the tendons around the elbow and both had to be re-attached...sore as hell..but I'll make it
Burke now in net for London.. this should put to rest the comments about the coaching staff favouring individual achievements over team goals.... it won't.. but it should.
If I'm not mistaken if Erie loses tomorrow regardless of regulation we will only have to split with them.
