London Knights 2018-19 Season Thread (Part 7)

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

Going to make an observation here relating back to my comments on how Kooy let in some weak goals against the Sault, and how we could have won that game with better goaltending.....
3 games in 3 days, two against cup contenders, and Raaymakers starts all three.
I think it’s very clear who our starter is...for now, and will be given every opportunity to run with it. That said, Kooy is a very good goaltender and an excellent backup. But those bad angle goals in the Sault game, just wasn’t good....obviously somebody else thought so too.

Kooy is injured...and was actually slated to get a start this weekend. Nice attempt though

Very balanced Rogers Kitchener crew.

The "everybody hates London" comment was a little over the top...but whatever

I prefer to say "everybody hates us cuz they ain't us"

But it is true.
Everbody hates the LK cause they Cannot do what London does on a regular basis year after year .
Plus 9000 every game.

Looks like Regula has been told to no more end to end rushes unless absolutely approved by coaches.

Hope the shutdown line (Turko-Moskal Tymkin) shuts down the Rags top line

Those guys played a hard and heavy game today.
Poor Rags that had to face them.

Gotta hand it to the Knights. Very much a team. Where some teams are more of a collection of talented players, the Knights have talented players that play as a team. They're fast and they don't give the other team much time to make a play.

I thought the Rangers played as well as they could, but the Knights are stronger in net, on D and up front.

The Knights work hard. Always.

If given the crease Kooy would have made an excellent starter this year, there is a very good reason why he's a NHL draftee and Raaymakers isn't.

I am wondering which Kitchener coach teaches diving lessons ???

 

[Fastpace]

5-2 win over Kitchener, just an awesome team and there isn't much else to say, except to say;

The awesome team win "again". !!!

Probably the diving coach, who else

I am wondering which Kitchener coach teaches diving lessons ???

Probably the one who taught Barrie a few years back.

There is no guessing which London coach teaches the diving lessons though.

#43 is Hunters star pupil.

replay showed it was a clear trip in front of the net

I am moreso referring to 43 staying down for a good couple of mins to draw the penalty and then was good to go for the power play.

Also it seemed like everytime a stick got anywhere near the skates of a knights player they fell. Defiantly embellished more than a few calls (and non-calls as the refs caught on after a while)

 

[LDN]

kinda back on track...we gotta beat Guelph though

Agreed. Keys in my mind are stay in the 1 seed and hope like hell Guelph passes Saginaw for third in the conference.

 

[LDN]

Bring on Barrie, Sudbury and North Bay as we go on a little road trip! Btw Knights are sitting at 63 points through 40 games 1st place in the Western conference we have three games in hand on Ottawa and are back 1 point from them lets hope we can make that up and get ourselves into 1st place overall soon....Keep rolling take it one game at a time and dont take any team lightly...

They will....way to early but I would predict 1. London 2. SSM 3. Guelph 4 Saginaw 5. Owen Sound 6. Sarnia 7. Windsor 8. Kitchener

Getting home ice advantage is huge...that Tymkin-Moskal-Turko line is a potential game changer if we can get the match ups we want.

True we always need a line like that its nice to have guys who can cycle and play hard hockey...these guys are built for the playoffs...almost would be cool to have them all return next season...I know Turko and Tymkin will be OA's though...

replay also showed on the trip Cotter fell backwards and struck the back of his head on the ice. He went to the bench and came out on the 2nd unit.

How about Raamaker kicking an Ottawa player in the back then clubbing him in the face with his stick...and no call.

ah okay, the auds replay system isn't the best so I didn't see that. But I'm guessing they were worried about a possible concussion so why wasn't he placed under concussion protocol?
