Ironic.. coming from the guy who says the OHL is in trouble

They are

 

[Drop the Puck]

They are

Someone please let 3dn outside so he can do his business. Seems full of something.

 

[Drop the Puck]

SAfe to assume that Raay starts tomorrow?
I wouldn’t take the Steelhead lightly, they washed Niagara at home a few weeks back.

Law suits against the Leauge is still on going

 

[Drop the Puck]

In all honesty 3dn no one on this board really gives a crap about the 4th place team in the East right now. We feel zero sympathy for your fans in lieu on the situation considering the hatred and jealously and content towards the Knights organization since the move from Mississauga.
Defend it all you want, unless your last name starts with a B and ends with an E, you don’t know jack about the situation.

The league isn't in trouble just give up. You guys cheated , it's proven , sucks to suck

 

[hockjock]

Okay so tonight against Erie, wow! That was insane

 

[Knights Watcher]

Slight exgeration

What's an exgeration?

 

[Knights2729]

Soooooooo, Where the F is this conversation going?

I know it’s easy to get caught up in all the fights and PIMs from today’s game. What really stuck with me was Erie being down 8-1 in the end of the second. CeCi was nailed pretty hard in the face mask with a puck and basically hung out to dry from our lack of defense. CeCi looked injured and just dragging it out to get through the rest of the game. As he was skating to the Otters locker room after the second, emotional as one would be, Raaymakers and Kooy both stick tapped his pads. It’s really about the game and not rivalries at that point. Sportsmanship goes along way and being an Otters fan, I’d like to thank Raaymakers/Kooy for keeping the spirit alive. I know it was a very minor thing to do, but I’m sure all three goalies have experienced the same feeling at one time. It was definitely a “feel good” moment i’d like to share and have more respect for both goalies.

 

[Knights Watcher]

Who claims the allegations go back too 2007

Not proven..... Yet. But they have sucked since then.

Nice post. As far as being about the game I totally agree. Unfortunately Otters fans continue to show their ignorance by singing their version of Sweet Caroline all while having their a$$es handed to them. Probably wouldn't see an Otter do the same for our goalie had the situation been reversed.

Now, way to heavy back to the last 15 minutes in Erie but what in the heck was that all about? Holy ficoli did that take what appears to have been a great effort to that point and plant it squarely in the ole “toilet bowl”. Yikes...... gotta get better!

I would think that there is a “bit of a Goalies Club” or at least there should be? You have to be a little bit “different” to want to be a human target for 100mph frozen black rubber bits? You should at least expect to have the support and appreciation of the other guy at the opposite end of the rink. LOL.......

With The Knights having "the greatest lineup ever", it is very surprising they are not even first overall in the league.
If they don't win the Memorial Cup again, it will be another disappointing season!

Who said they have "the greatest lineup ever"? You put it in quotes. So someone must have said it.

Thx for commenting on the game. I missed the first period but watched the final two (once I realized it was televised). Tough 3 in 3 for the Otters...no sign of quit in that team. Drysdale is a burgeoning star in this league. Knights took their foot off the gas in the 3rd.

Greatest lineup ever?

I hope you are joking..

Wont be dissapointing for this fan if they dont win the Memorial Cup. Hope theu do but thats a big hill to clumb.

 

[Drop the Puck]

I have my doubts that today’s game between our Knights and the Steelhead will be televised.
I just scanned the guide and it is not listed. Rogers has pulled out of their agreement to televise the Steelheads home games.

 

[Otto]

Nobody has to answer to your callout. What difference does a specific posters ID have to answer the questions?

Isn't it questionable why this team is not first overall? Secondly, won't it be disappointing if they don't win the MC again?

When you make ridiculous statements expect to get called out on it.

No... it's not questionable as to why they are not first overall... all you need to do is watch the games to figure that out. And no.. it won't be disappointing if the don't win the Memorial Cup, because they are not there yet. Now... if they happen to win the J. Ross Robertson Cup, and don't win the Memorial Cup will it be disappointing? Probably, but there's a lot of hockey to play between now and then and at least 8 teams including London that have a shot at winning the championship... So it wouldn't be surprising if they win, but it also won't be surprising if they lose.

No , this 2018-19 team is not the Knights greatest lineup ever, it's a lineup similar to the 2011-12 team mixed in with some good veterans supported by a very young talented group. This year's version have their work cut out just to get out of the O's and on to the Memorial Cup, they have the team to get there but they still have a whole load of work to do. If they don't put it together soon they may not even get out of the first round of playoffs.

I just looked at the Guide on my Television just now and it has the game listed .

They didnt take their foot off the gas, they put it in reverse lol.

 

[Purple Phart]

The comment of the greatest line-up probably relates to the hype of London's "Team of the Century" title. This was the result of an on-line poll with several teams represented. Personally, I don't put much stock into these on-line social media polls. People can vote numerous times to pad the stats, and fans being fanatical, will skew any measurable result. When there's some genuine effort required to cast a vote, the result gains some measure of credibility. On-line
polls make the process as easy as possible.

Our current team is nothing special, as of now. If the players wish to change
that status, it's up to them to EARN any accolades this season has to offer.
