You should all stop complaining about the quality work of Sloany and Doyle. They put in a yeoman's work for every game, check that...for every broadcast of the Knights campaign....or is it a season, or campaign....or schedule, or....ugh, I truly give up.
I would agree 100% IF he didn’t have the baggage he had from the whole “incident”. Montreal kind of pulled a “fast one” when they drafted him and somehow need to appease all the negative BS that will follow this kid along his journey to the NHL. From a PR perspective making him wait until he has no junior eligibility left and then moving him into the AHL may be the easiest path for the team? I would also not be surprised if the NHL will weigh in (behind the scenes) on his path from a league constantly it seems in the news of todays “cancel culture” news?
I think up until the playoff "upset" last season the rivalry faded somewhat. That's what happens when one team consistently gets the better of the other. If London and Kitchener meet this year in the playoffs I think it will be game on again.
You are right about all the bs that will follow him, my comment was based at the skill level I see him at the present. Remembering he has lost a lot of games due to suspension and injuries, he needs a lot more seasoning before he reach NHL level, it's not his offensive skills that will hold him down. NHL is a very popular league, for good or bad the Press and the politicians will stick like glue to the league to advance their own popularities
For what it’s worth as well, he’s currently not approved to play in the NHL. Still needs to apply for reinstatement, which will require a hearing and whatever other steps necessary.
It's just fun to watch, win or lose it can get pretty intense. You're right it has lost a bit of appeal but still my favourite matchup to watch.
I recall Brochu playing hurt in that series after getting hurt sometime earlier in Kitchener.
That's one of the reasons the "upset" wasn't a surprise. Another was a lack of scoring depth.
And some credit to the Rangers for shutting down our one scoring line
The Rangers played a well earned series against the Knights, deserving full credit for their win. A team's excuse to lose should never fall onto one player alone, yes Brochu was playing hurt and that was more the reason for his teammates to help him out, covering for him and pick up the pace, it's a team game and in the end they did not play like a team. It will be a much different Knights team this year in the series
Part great goaltending, part shutdown and part Evangelista was snake bitten and couldn't buy a goal.
I get criticism in my profession all the time...I don't see it as bullying or harassment.
Question. Do the people that do the play by play in the OHL and the between periods interviews etc. get paid by the teams, broadcasters or at all ? Or are they volunteers ?
I think our guys are volunteers through Rogers TV.
