London Knights 2018-19 Season Thread (Part 10)

[Fastpace]

Except for the most part the issues with this team have not been with the players whose ice time has supposedly been diminished... it's with the players that are supposedly taking it.

That being said I don't believe anything anyone says about ice time. It's not a published stat, unless you're sitting in your arena with a laptop you don't know what the actual ice time is.

That is kind of my point, the players taking the ice are finding themselves alone out there not getting much help from a disgruntled group of players. It's like they are "unconsciously" saying: hey you want the ice, take it and go at it, we'll just sit here on the bench and watch you

You don't need a laptop to see the players coming back are taking a lot of ice time away, you just need to watch the game.

No... you need a laptop with an ice time program... otherwise you are just guessing...

 

[hockjock]

No they didn't...maybe yours did

Ok well I choose to be a little less cynical than you. I had a better life than my parents, easier for sure. I had a lot more help than they ever had and I’m successful. These kids will figure it out. It takes time.

sorry. I derailed the thread

Back to hockey

Saginaw 10-1 tonight and the Knights lose 4 players for the 1st 3 games of round 1 because of a line brawl

Look it a fact with Dale's system, there are 18 skaters sharing 60 minutes of ice, your top 5 (defense incl.) will take the bulk of it, leaving the remaining 13 to share the rest. Some in the group of 13 used to play top 5 minutes and have been pushed back since the arrival of the star players.

no need for a laptop to see who is getting tooooooooooooo much ice time

I don't buy it as an excuse.... players return from pro camp, world junior camp, injury every year... but on top of that you cannot quantify what ice time was before these events and what it was after these events... not to mention players who are no longer with the team would have eaten some of those minutes. You blame Bouchard, Formenton, Hancock, Boqvist, and Keane for taking minutes away from the other players .. but while those guys were away or not with the team players like Golden, Timms, Perrott, Panwar, Evangelista, and Gerard Keane were playing.

Years ago when the claim was made about Tucker Hunter getting 20 minutes per game I timed his ice for 5 straight home games... he was averaging fewer than 9 minutes per game... so forgive me if I don't trust anyone's comments about ice time.

 

[GobigorGohome]

Go Knights Go
Game not being televised?

you can watch on the radio ,980 Mike Stubbs play by play.

 

[GobigorGohome]

Regretfully this is totally true, and not just in sports .

You can thank the continued Leftist indoctrination of kids called Public Education.

Refs get 60 minutes, although not all of those are quality minutes.

No I am not blaming top players taking top minutes at all, the problem is not with them, they are not the bunch of disgruntled players. There's big difference with players coming back at the start of a season, we are talking about mid season and Formenton at the end of Jan with a team already established as top team in the league before the arrival of their star players. And now these top front players that were playing top minutes who brought this team to top position are pushed back to make room, creating a disgruntled downward chain reaction with the rest of the players .

If I miss a line brawl because this thing isn't on TV Im going to be even more upset then I already was... But hey If that gets things going for them so be it..

 

[ohloutsider]

Fyi - the game is listed on the OHL Actionpac as televised.

 

[sbpointer]

I disagree. Turn on the radio close your eyes and let Stubbsy bring it to life for you.. It doesn't replace being able to watch it but the call is pretty good. Stream it to bluetooth headphones and close your eyes then it's just and the hockey game. That's why they tell you which way they are going even though you are listening on the radio

 

[GobigorGohome]

Well with Stubbs play by play you can Almost see it live!
Glad you got the joke.

 

[GobigorGohome]

Side note Hats off to the Foudy boys last night.
Liam with 1 and Jean-Luc with 2 for Windsor.
I think Liam has been our Best forward lately.
He is becoming a complete player

When Tesla died in NY .the US Government seized all his research and Sealed his numerous Patents to this day.
His last project was Free energy using the earths natural electrical field
to power all cities etc.
No wonder his research was sealed away.

What hockey rink is that in your Avatar?

You don't need a laptop to see the players coming back are taking a lot of ice time away, you just need to watch the game.

So, what I just read. The players who were here before Formenton, Bouchard, Hancock et al showed up after the deadline are to blame? That would mean you are fingering McMichael, Guskov, Dunkly, Stranges, Nelson, Tympkin, <rest of roster goes here>.

Sorry not buying it. I could run with McMichael might be a bit put out at lack of PP time, where his stats benefitted greatly. Same goes for Stranges dropping down the pecking order but in no way can I believe they are the cancer here.

In my opinion, the players of the team (for the most part) are playing for themselves because the staff and team leaders have not established a team first paradigm. Its every man for himself.

Take a look at the drama in the Soo of getting your stick knocked out of your hands and no penalty called immediately, it was embarrassing and self absorbing.

ya ya PP31!!
Absolutely correct on your assertion regarding Nicola Tesla.
The young ones are addicted to their I-Phones and technology.
We are bathed in Electro-Magnetic energy in our bodies and around the Earth.
Good Vid on Health and Electro-Magnetic Energy with charging our health for good.

The old "barn" in Windsor.

The old "barn" in Windsor.

maybe I'm just thick today but ???

 

[ohloutsider]

???

The Mad house on McDougal - where the Spits use to play for like forever before moving to the WFCU. The building is over a 100 years old. The place where every Thursday night Windsor was brawling with somebody and the fans could reach out and join in.
