London Knights 2023-2024 Season Thread (Part 6)

no parekh, not even pretending by listing him as the 19th skater...

also still no Oke.

 

[purple pharrt]

Feel a lot more confident with Lawrence in lineup.

If you look at the situation as the glass being half full, we'll get Lawrence back, well rested, eager to go, and have the opportunity to win a championship as his OHL career finale. That should be motivating !

This is going to be an unpopular opinion but I think this one is Sawyer Boulton's time to shine.
Smart well placed physicality..

i strongly dislike Boulton because of habitual line crossing. but if he toes the line without crossing he could be very effective against some of the spirit who quite obviously don't like being hit.

I think Parekh was concussed on the hit by Martin clean hit by the way and he sat out the next game then played game 6 which he shouldn't have and then got it again which is sad for his future if he played through a concussion

And no Edward.

and then got it again

I thought the more recent injury looked like a lower body injury

We've seen both sides of Boulton... the player that crosses the line and gets suspended, and the player who can flatten players with clean checks and kick the shit out of willing combatants. Being a 4th liner, he likely won't see much ice, and the rare shift will be short. I don't think he'll be a factor in the series, but you never know.

Goal for the series...........have a Kitchener fan post that Saginaw players may out do the Dale inspired Knights in "selling a call" I think there uis another term, an Olympic event with water n a board.
Can we convince just one of them to say publicly there is a new sell job champ in the O

( yes I know all teams do it)

I was not as worried about Sawyer Boulton hitting players as I was when Max Jones was here, no doubt Jones was the much better player, but unlike Jones, Boulton is not running around like a ping pong ball chasing any or all players in sight to hit. S. Boulton is not as talent gifted but know when to and how to hit an adversary at the right time and moment. Now that Lawrence received this absurd suspension, I am not so sure what the league would do to S. Boulton if a player runs into his backside with a head low and bang his head on the ice on his way down.

Once again, this series will come down to who dresses the best bottom six players, the first six will awash, I am giving the edge to the Knights

Prust confirmed as the new coach of the Nationals.

Jones had NHL strength he was WAY to strong for this league imo

Let the kL suspension go lol. We know your opinion. We get you feel the opponent drove/thru his head blindly into his backside (looked like shoulder on the replay but just MO)
And Max didn't run around chasing any and all players. Not even close. Saw every home game live and everry road game on the tube. Tended to target smaller or younger players. Shyed away from the big veteran players he didn't have a physical advantage over. It was an ongoing convo at the arena n in dressing rooms in this area.
But was dang fun to watch with Pu on the PK. Kid had wheels n skill.

[rve24]

He was the most NHL ready player on that Knights team he was last on. Fantastic player.

Oh I agree, but I thought that so many of his timeless penalties were of the very selfishness kind, as talented as he was you could also tell Dale had problems taming him down to make his team system work with all his teammates, it was so noticeable at the time. You know me, I was not one to singling out individual players on a 20 men team to say anything.

 

[rve24]

Physically probly, but not close to the best NHL prospect on that team.

 

[ArielNederland]

Edwards out due to personal reasons according to stubbs

 

[Ferguson Jenkins]

Not sure how Max Jones came up but was never impressed. Speed and size but no playmaking ability.

 

[HockeyPops]

Great Canadian anthem!!!

 

[Fastpace]

London playing real nervous right now, they need something, anything, to get them going

 

[HockeyPops]

Did we mention Saginaw are good at drawing penalties?
