There's a few I'd move before Timms...one has been eating ice time for 3 seasonsLove watching 24 and his physical play in the d-zone. And I really can’t believe how bad 51 is. All year. Awful. Called it a while ago. Therefore the theme shall be..... #tradeTimms
I've never seen one. Talent yes...but nowhere near a contending team..even during camp. Shows how much merit you can put in the CHL top 10 before a puck is even dropped. I've seen Bantam teams bigger than our current roster.So...too early to start wondering if we should have kept Koly?
Doubt it was even an option...but it’s getting hard to see a contending team here.
If we had Kooy in goal that would have actually been a close game. These guys had nothing to play in front of last night. I don't like to rag on single junior hockey players but the perceived lack of effort from the crease last night almost caused me to leave early.... Then I realized I don't get a refund so might as well see if the other 18 kids could salvage it.If we get Bouchard back, these close games turn into wins for the Knights, he would be a HUUUUUUGE addition to this team.....then add Formenton and a couple of trades and we contend with anybody......patience Knightsfans!
I can’t disagree more with your comment, defensively we were terrible. Razor made the first save countless times, the defence have to be first to the puck and clear traffic in front. We can’t win games with bad defence and no scoring with a 3% power play efficiency.If we had Kooy in goal that would have actually been a close game.

1st goal of the game is all on Razor. There is no way a rebound should kick to that spot from where it was shot if played correctly by the tender. Penalty shot it was like he put a bow on it for Studnicka. The good saves are there each game, it's the one's he SHOULD have that are deflating a young team. Body language speaks volumes as a goaltender. I see no swagger and little to no moxie when you actually should display it. Some could say "cool as a cucumber" but I would dispute it. Did anyone see Keyser shake his head when he coughed the rebound right back out front for a 2nd shot in the slot. He made the saves but you could read he wasI can’t disagree more with your comment, defensively we were terrible.

I think he might be frustrated in not getting the support from the team in front of him, his rebound must be better but the loss is not on him.1st goal of the game is all on Razor.

A. pissed that the guy was that open
and
B. he was pissed he booted it out on a platter in front.
That's what you want to see from your tender. Some intestinal fortitude
Didn't say the loss is on him...but he didn't compete enough on 2 of the goals in my opinion. A look down the other end of the rink watching Keyser do headstand after headstand might have a bit to do with that. You gotta call a spade a spade even if you're a fan. He looked off, and has looked off for stretches so far this early seasonI think he might be frustrated in not getting the support from the team in front of him, his rebound must be better but the loss is not on him.
Maybe. Something has to give because an OA goalie has to be a rockstar. Plus, he's been beaten back to back weeks on those stupid jumps. Stay on the ice.I think he might be frustrated in not getting the support from the team in front of him, his rebound must be better but the loss is not on him.
Fair enough he does have to improve just I don’t see it as the biggest problem at the moment. Defence is a messDidn't say the loss is on him...but he didn't compete enough on 2 of the goals in my opinion.

Team confidence is a bigger mess..and when your tender is looking like Swiss cheese and playing the puck like it's a live grenade..it's usually not a boost to the old confidence wagon.Fair enough he does have to improve just I don’t see it as the biggest problem at the moment. Defence is a mess
I left last night's game before the halfway mark of the 3rd period...at the time, it was 3-0 for Oshawa, and Hunter was still using the trap! That was enough for me.
The team can't score. I thought Moskal and Popov finished last season with some good point production and they'd carry that into this year...not so.
Popov...8 games, 0 goals, 0 assists;
Moskal...9 games, 1 goal;
Dunkley...9 games, 2 goals;
Turko...9 games, 0 goals
Boqvist...8 games, 0 goals
Total goals from defencemen: 1 (Lochead)
I enjoy watching Stranges and McMichael...that's the extent to which this team entertains me.
Since that was a shot at me I'll let you know that the posts were designed with the intent of providing Knights fans with a little bit of history. Irrelevant? No, since it pertains to the Knights and this is a Knights message board. Not an Ice Dogs message board.Hey Totally agree but then again who won Oshawa's 100th game in net. I remember there were posters about who scored the knights who really cares 1000 goal. IRRELEVANT. dont know you Fastpace but you do give great insight and info
