Or just get it all back in the 2nd lol

 

[ArielNederland]

I guess both teams decided all offense no defense

 

[LDN]

So with todays trade what’s our ammo look like? We can definitely add a top 6 F I would imagine

All O no D night

I think Travis Bickle 77 (post #972) summed up the game nicely on the Windsor thread. I have nothing to add.

10-7 win over Windsor, not pretty but it's still two points. Lets hope they saved some scoring for tomorrow and Saturday games. Secondary scoring is always nice to see from the bottom 6, O'Reilly a goal two assists Nicholl a goal one assist, Johnston, R Boulton Gazizov and McCue all found the nets, so has Halttunen and Edward, Knights needs these players to scores and they will as the season progresses. O'Reilly is on his way to be a first round NHL pick, he is so much like Cowan, Nicholl will move up the echelon as well to be a second or third round choice, I really like his speed, very smooth skater. Now they they can score lets hope they will tighten up their defence against OS and Guelph

All O no D night

You were saying about London offence again !

Crane pretty good game tonight drew a penalty shot but was stooped an assist taken away on a disallowed goal

Knights might have traded for the Wrong Petes goalie

Hahaha I knew as soon as the fronts played that guy in preseason he was primed for a breakout. Pete’s front office probably assumed so as well and that’s why they traded Simpson so early.

Junior hockey...gotta love it.

Well they surely made up for it in the Niagara deal with Crane!!! Talk about a fleecing.

Peanut has been solid 6 goals and 12 points in 16 games.

At the conclusion of this weekend, the Knights will have played 3 3-in3's, including two consecutive "weekends" of 3-in-3. That normal?

I thought they were usually more on the back end of the schedule. They have another one in a few weeks, but then only one more the rest of the season (In February)

Seems like a lot. Rangers only have 2 all year. Lots of mid week games instead.

Good night to pad offensive stats as Windsor does not play any defence. London has not played much D either lately. Hard to draw much from games like that. I do agree that O’Reilly is good but we knew that before last night. Maybe last night could instill some confidence in Gazizov. He needs to shoot the puck. Good skater, good vision. He can produce a lot more with his ability.
Good thing London has goalie depth in the system because it would be hard to take losing Bowen and a third for a rental that lets in softies every week. Rambling over. Have a good day.

Gazizov has so much potential. He needs to play both ends of the ice though. On at least two of Windsor's goals last night he was basically standing there looking at the open man. Not trying to tie the guy's stick or get in his way. I liked the way he played deep in the playoffs last year. So far this year ... not so much.

 

[LDN]

Gazizov has under produced. Not sure why, but he should be one of our leaders.

why is MacKinnon not playing anyone ????
