London Knights 2018 Offseason Thread

[Snippit]

I didn't saying anything that wasn't obvious. London players intentionally attempted to injure players, as noted by several people including a Greyhounds coach.

That kind of play is not acceptable in today's OHL. London fans are some of the few that support goon hockey, as seen is this thread.

And the Greyhounds coach is surely an unbiased, neutral figure...

Radar you make sense, I believe that its because the Soo has a dominant team for the first time in a LONG time and for some reason some of the Soo fans want to rub it in our face that we arent dominant for once and the fact that we have won 4 OHL championships and 2 memorial cups in a 12 year span and the Soo hasnt won an OHL championship since 91-92 and a Memorial cup since 92-93.

After reviewing the game, and if your Greyhounds coach feels the same way about the intent calls, Please have him send the copies of these incidences in questions. The only thing I would regret is not being present when the league explain how the refs mistaken on some of these calls in question.

I am assuming one of calls your are referring is the Bouchard/Timmins incident.

Bouchard with stick across his chess heading on a face to face collision course with Timmins who has both of his own arms lower along his body. As the collision is happening Bouchard to brace himself for the contact still has stick chess high but put a little more distance between his chess and his stick at the same level to make a chess high contact to Timmins's chess, upon reacting to the collision Timmins to protect himself brings both of his arms up under Bouchard's stick the motion lifted the stick right up to his own chin. Unfortunately for Bouchard the referee seen it differently with a high stick call and give another bench minor to Bouchard for arguing. You can check this out for yourself on OHL game reviews, don't take my word for it, another incident earlier in the game involving Rollo's purely skates incidental contact with that of I believe Hayton's, no attempt or motion by Rollo and he was actually surprised of the contact and even more surprised when he was fingered for the incident. Timkins comes in on Sambrook for a bodycheck he turns his back before the contact happen and actually hit Sambrook with his backend, for what ever the reason it's called a check to the head, that one does puzzles me a bit.

There were also some unfair calls in the Greyhounds directions that made me scratch my head thinking they were also questionable calls, the refs overdone it on their show of authority to control the game and what it did was the complete opposite of the intended effect, frustrating and confusing the players on both teams in the process. The refs blew this game and the players only reacted to it in confusion, check it all out for yourself on the video and stop frame by frame if you have to. IMHO

For all the London haters, it does make London stronger by fending off all the attacks from around the league, may I also add there are many good and kind fans around the league that do feel very differently about London.

Goon hockey still exist? Looking at London's roster- size and age- I cant see them being considered a goon hockey club lol. Unless players fear small young players.

And a Greyhound coach would never have a bias lol.
And the other several people you mention? Any1 in particular? SSM fans, media? Other teams staff? Just looking for perspective on your claim.

SSM is a confident, strong hockey club. Enjoy the ride.

We can all recall SSM players that may have been perceived by the opposition fans as aggressive or looking to get even, protect themselves. All teams got em

London fans on HF usually take their own to task when the do something stupid. And deserve a suspension. Seen it plenty. More so than most teams fans, imo.
Bouchards shot, no biggie, in context. But if he takes a rip, no problem.

A few weeks ago we had a fan bus attend a game in
London. They were treated very well by
London fans. The hatred on here today makes no sense to me. Also a few people thought that Razer was in goal. Not on his birthday. The game did get a bit nasty, I have to admit. Gettinger tried hard not to fight (third one) but eventually you have to defend yourself. And it was right in front of us.

does anyone remember the 2014-15 season when this happened??

London and Soo had almost identical teams back then and Soo couldnt win yet London did the next year so why not the same thing this year and then the Knights win it all again next year. THE SIMILARITIES IN TEAMS ARE THERE LOL

 

[BrockU44]

On the Bouchard hit....
From what I saw on the television replays was two players coming together, both with hands up, one may have had his stick up. Not a suspendable hit, the Soo player may have been trying to sell it a little. Again, just what I saw on the few replays shown, would like to see it a few more times...

He sold it so well that he received stitches after the game. Pretty impressive.

He should of left Bouchard's stick alone, he wouldn't have hit himself with it, check the replays.

Anyone have video of the hit?

This will be the 2nd Knights team in the past 15 years to start the playoffs on the road (2011).

First he didn't get hit, then he faked it, and now he took Bouchard's stick and hit himself. This story keeps getting better and better.
