London Knights 2023 - 24 Season Thread (Part 4)

The Knights apparently had about 15 or so 2008’s on the ice this morning at the Bud.
This is why Mark Hunter is ahead of any other GM.

And they could STILL beat Windsor

 

[Ferguson Jenkins]

Go Knights. Favourite time of year with Cubs ball around the corner. This Knights team is well rounded. Hoping for a long playoff run. Agreed earlier about the Edward post.

Looks like we will have to beat guelph if we want 1st. Gotta jump on them and put the pedal to the metal

 

[Fastpace]

Man, that was a hard game to watch. A 4-3 prayer to defeat Windsor

We've seen this scenario many times in the past,, unfortunately our kids haven't. Now they will come out flying on Sunday against Guelph

Dale950

I'd like that, unfortunately, we might as well enjoy his playing this spring because this may be the only year we will see him play in a Knights uniform, his playing has moved up to a much higher level. and London do not hold his rights for next year

Yes the San Jose Sharks hold his rights because they signed him to an ELC so he could get out of his Finnish contract, but they can put him down in the OHL again. We never had his rights really to begin with other than drafting him in the CHL import draft. I don’t really know what you mean by we don’t hold his rights…

 

[tjziel]

Is there any solution that we see that could help Michael Simpson do better on wrist shots from the point? That seems to be his weakness, albeit there were a lot of tips tonight that wasn’t his fault. Every shot from the point gets me worried it’s gonna be a goal.

Or do we think Dale will have players going down and blocking those shots come playoffs?

 

[purple pharrt]

Struggling with shots from a distance could be indicative of an eyesight problem . Wouldn't hurt to get tested.....nothing to lose, but everything to gain, if that's actually the case. The timing isn't optimal though, going into the playoffs. It's hard enough getting adjusted to corrective eyewear, and having to do so in pressure situations isn't exactly ideal.

I've always thought that the ideal goaltender would have independantly articulated eyeballs.....like those lizzards who can rotate each eyeball separately, and can track their victims or predators with great accuracy.

 

[Geff]

Not our best performance. Hope Gaz is ok, was pointing at his ankle when the trainer came out. Any word on Sim?

 

[TheCoach]

Friday game will be a cake-walk..Sunday game could be tuff.

You were saying?
Never underestimate your opponent! Spits get up for knowing 1st is the difference from playing SSM/SAG in the second round or conference finals for london

 

[dmead]

just 1 point.

2 down - Sim Gaz

Saw a guy nearly win $33,000
Crappiest monment only about 2/3 of the Timbits got to actually play. Idiots who were in charge of the kids put them in penalty box and played lines. But onyl two lines per team got to play, the rest never got out until they had to leave the ice. Those guys should be .......
