London Knights 2023 - 24 Season Thread (Part 4)

[Slowpace]

I'm thinking Saginaw is more likely to finish first at this stage as well, but Saginaw has the game against the Soo at the end of the season and then both teams have a pretty "easy" other 3 games I would say. I think there is a good chance it comes down to that final day before we know who gets first.

Agreed...problem for the Knights is the Soo will likely rest players in that game, as they are pretty well locked into 3rd.

 

[rve24]

jokes aside, please don't associate the rest of us soo fans with that guy - aka HF92 on the forum. he is absolutely an unhinged homer and can't even get along with other hounds fans.

I'm no professional, but they maybe should step away from an entertainment choice that causes them so much angst lol.
Yeah Bolton has crossed the line (and paid the price dished out) And he deserved it
I can't only blame the kid....he was offered a contract and PT and continues to get it ( very sparingly in games, none when healthy scratched or suspended)
London hasn't listened a player like this in a while, but it's got everyone wound up lol.
There is a reason the team staff feels he needs to dress. But we won't ever discuss that intelligently on a forum like this.
It's just one more reason gor opponents fans yo rail against the dark side and another whipping boy for LK fans. He obviously hasn't hurt hiems team much as they are in dogfight gor 1st overall.
No i font condone trying to injure players. Just fun to watch heads explode.

I saw some pretty good hacks n whacks last night with sticks also on both sides but not a mention......hhhhmmmm

Saginaw on their way to losing tonight

Thank you erie!!

There it is, it was a rough game, a 5-4 Erie win over Saginaw

The Spirits have had their problems too lately

This is HUGE!!!!

Back in the drivers seat…. Saginaw folded like a lawn chair when pushed physically. Big pinch error at the end by Perekh….

Even with help from the stripes Sagy can’t make the points.

 

[ArielNederland]

Some one correct me if I'm wrong but I believe saginaw has to lose one more game in order for London to get first?

Depends how London does tomorrow.

Knights lose in regulation they are still only 2 points up. Saginaw can go 1-2 and win the conference if the Knights go 0-3.

Saginaw has 3 games left... 2 of those are against non-playoff teams and the final game is against a team stuck in their position in the standings. Knights just need to worry about winning out.

 

[Slowpace]

Bottom line, Knights need 5 of possible 6 points and 1st place is theirs, regardless if Saginaw runs the table.

any word on Sim?

Perekh has all the talent in the world. But he does some very undisciplined things at times. Both with positioning and penalties. I’ll take it.

Today's to-do list for the Knights:

1)Get the 'W'
2)Score SH goal to break the record
3)Cowan: extend point scoring streak to 34, breaking Knights record
4)Add to the '20 goal club' (Lawrence? Dickinson? O'Reilly?)
5)Stay healthy

I’d like us ri bring the physicality to him when we play them and have him get super frustrated

 

[Fastpace]

If the Knights lose anyone of the next three games, it will not be for lack of talent, it would be for game time readiness, they are in control

 

[LDN]

I expect us to bring our best today! Nothing less

Who is the highest scoring Knight .... probably Darryl Sittler? Excluding short term guys like John Tavares of course? Don't really count Patrick Kane as he came late and only 1 season.

 

[Otto]

Wilmore starts

Sim is out

I'd say probably Shanahan.. he's got over 1,300 points

I think it's Dave Simpson, if not I'd check Dennis Maruk or Patrick Kane

 

[dino200022]

any word on Sim?

I am late to the party here obviously but he is out today. Guess the blatant spear to the groin that somehow went completely missed has left him tender with a nice bruise in the groin area....lovely.

Pretty sure he's talking about NHL

Without any certainty I will throw out some names...And there NHL totals.

Ciccarelli - 1200 pts
Maruk - 878 pts
Kane - 1271 pts, but might not count based on your criteria.
Marner - 630 pts and still going strong
Sittler - 1121 pts
Shanny - 1354 pts
Perry - 900 pts

Fun Fact: Knights have given up only 1 powerplay goal during a Sawyer Boulton penalty (No short handed goals)
