why is MacKinnon not playing anyone ????

Still Injured

I was impressed with Van Gorp last night. First time I’ve seen him play. Brought some good energy and hustle, set up a goal. I think he’s earned another game this weekend.

I know they love him and he’s a hometown kid, but we could have added a high end OA by now who would be in the lineup

That isn't possible he's on a B card rockets play both Friday and Saturday. He can't play for the knights when his team has a game same day

Chris O’Flaherty will be wearing #77 as an homage to Juan Copeland.

Is that the pitstop jersey number LOL

I tell ya, the penalties that 13 has been taking…it would be palatable if he was putting up big offensive numbers, but at this point they’re just offensive (2goals 6 assists).
Is there an upgrade available there?

 

[LDN]

Yikes

 

[ArielNederland]

Sammy O is a player. Looks like he'll only get better.

 

[LDN]

Denver BARKEYYYYYY

 

[Fastpace]

5-4 overtime win over Owen Sound, two more points but watch the indiscipline boys.

 

[LDN]

Great that we got the win, but this team has a TON more to offer. Not sure what’s going on defensively, but we need to clean up

 

[dmead]

honestly, we had no business winning that game. George should have stopped that shot.

Knights gotta do something about these penalties. cant play half a period at even strength and expect to win games.

I've never seen a 3 man trap in overtime.

I think Dale has seen enough of the bad penalties, Halttunen was stapled to the bench for the 3rd, after 2 penalties in the 2nd. Trying to send a message to him and the entire team, If a star player can get benched for it, so can you.

 

[Millpond]

What did all those poor buggers do to Hunter, to get shipped to hockey purgatory in Niagara ??

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

Got 2 available for tomorrow night...face value

Best seats in the house

 

[nelli27]

More undisciplined play leading to "dumb penalties" to quote Doyle. We had stretches of this last season too, but managed to overcome it. Halttunen benched after his 2nd penalty which shows everyone is accountable.
Willmore was solid between the pipes.
Knights PK structure was rather odd, not much coverage down low. OS just couldn't capitalize on most of their PP opportunities.
O'Flaherty not much ice time... Was open for the breakaway but pass couldn't connect.
2 down, 1 to go.

 

[LDN]

Looking for a more disciplined effort today

 

[TheCoach]

I cant help but think that Johnston was being Showcased last night

 

[Millpond]

I read there's an opening in Niagara

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

Hope he shows better today. More lateral moves coming to stock the cupboards for January

 

[7Wacked]

Today will show some insight into the mental side of this team. 2 long penalty filled games, the special team guys had to play a ton. Now the 3rd game of a 3 in 3. What will be left in the tank? Who will step up? Can we play a disciplined game?

 

[superdee]

77 sure looks slow out there. Is this another card gone?
