I hope Pu has a better attitude this year then last year

I thought he would get an invite. It must be tough for him to watch his buddies get invites.

Not that it matters but the Aud was packed last night. A sell out is over 7000. I think the game sheet says 7132. Teddy Bears are the only thing we can beat the Knights at. Take that away we got nothing
Would be great though to see the Knights beat our number. Goes to a great cause.

We had like 9400 bears and a sell out is 9039

Sarnia will squash us on the 16th unless half their team is also going to various selection camps lol

Adam Ruzicka and Jordan Kyrou will be with their respective WJC teams, which will help....

I think the Knights will trash Sarnia in those games, might as well think positive .

We will be without Kyrou and Ruzicka, but those two have been invisible for the last 5-6 games and our depth has won our games for us, that and Fazio. I expect the games to be extremely tight.

Actually the US camp opens on the 15th in Columbus so Jones won't be available after December 12

Don't you worry any Ferda11, just having some fun here on our site as we haven't had much to cheer about this year yet. Have a great season !

Thanks HL11...........made the correction above.

 

[Snippit]

I feel for Pu but at the same time I really hope he uses this as motivation...

unlike last year

 

[thesensguy]

London fans, how has Formenton played this year? He looked really good in training camp for us and saw that he had a hot start for london this year.

 

[Snippit]

In other news the Hounds are currently pasting the Sting...

seems like it'll be quite the task for anyone to beat them.

 

[zman77]

He's been great.

Formenton has played great!
He accepts whatever role Dale Hunter gives to him whether it's checking the #1 Line of the opposition or playing PP and PK.
He 'brings it' every game.
It seems every game he has 1 or 2 'break-away' opportunities.
Formenton's speed is elite and puts the opposing team on their heels which creates opportunities for scoring when he's on the ice.
Ottawa have a 'diamond' with their #47 pick in the 2017 NHL Draft.

For those of you who don't know me personally, you also don't know a fellow poster here on this forum is my father.

Pops lost his fight this morning after a battle in which he never quit, scrapping right till the final whistle. Forever my Wingman. My father introduced me to the Knights at the ripe old age of 2 and was always by my side for EVERY Knights game until his diminishing health kept him from seeing "his boys" live in recent years. Pops will always be in the hearts of the many posters on this forum that he knew personally. Full of piss and vinegar he always called 'em as he saw 'em, a trait he passed on to me from a very young age. Section 309 Row A will miss his wit and humour.

RIP Pops

Thanks HL.

I'll always remember his chuckle when you had that comment about Andreas Athanasiou when we came to Windsor to see a game.

"All sizzle no steak"

 

[PoisonMushroom]

My sympathies. Remember the good times you got to share with him, not only as a Knights fan but all throughout life.

 

[Nogoodknight]

Condolences PP sounded like a a great man

 

[rolf smitty]

Mete is not on the list of invitees to WJC; does this mean he will not be on the team? or are there other factors involved?

 

[aresknights]

Who will step up in the absence of Jones and likely Thomas, Formenton/Pu

Pu will have 3/4 or maybe more games to show he can drive an OHL teams offense. Im not confident he rises to the occassion
