London Knights 2019-20 Season Thread (Part 3)

[KnightWatch]

I will say it again. We don’t have the vets to be buying. They continue to let us down. It’s a retool year

Our two OA forwards have a combined 14 points in 17 games. Not good enough. Any team with a worth while OA for upgrade isn’t in a position to trade them away.

While Myskiw has been okay. He’s also not going to be the goalie to lead the team to the promise land imo.

The market has set itself

Maybe the problem is that Tymkin and Nelson have been given too much ice time for what they bring to the table. Dale does tend to favour his vets, but that favouritism needs to be warranted.

I still say the addition of a Kaliyev and a stay-at-home D (not Harley) would make this team tough to beat!

Good strong Dman who may be cheaper then most Tyler Tucker

Still need your OA to produce. Ice time is a hole different discussion.
Leaders need to be just that

I have been beating this drum for two months

The Knights need to trade Tymkin and Nelson for a GOOD OA forward and a GOOD OA Defenceman and still need another good Forward and Defenceman and im not very positive that they have enough to trade to get what they need right now. I was at that game on Friday and it was HORRIBLE!!! Here is hoping that im wrong but when McMichael is in on over 40% of the goals there is a definite issue.

Ya, but I think they could produce,...as 4th liners, used only when necessary.

 

[nelli27]

At the game... can't understand how/why Evangelista's goal was called back. Interference??? Really??

Sorry. You don’t want your OA on the fourth line if you’re a contender

 

[TheCoach]

Another poor game by Keane it's getting to become a habit

 

[nelli27]

Another poorly played game by the Knights. This time they escape with 2 points--solid goaltending.

Weird game for sure. No one individual stood out as super impressive or terrible. McCue looked good in limited mins, Evangelista continues to show his confidence increasing. Steklov will be very good eventually, Stranges looks back to normal, but I still think he has more left. Kudos to Kitchener they played hard and forecheck hard. Very good skating team.

Agree Nelli...................this call made no sense at all.

Don’t disagree but he keeps getting put back out there? Not sure what is up there but the coaches seem pleased?

 

[TheCoach]

I noticed stranges was skating more north/south today. He needs to keep it up because when he does he is hard to hit. It was nice see him switch it up atleast
The defence keeps getting caught to one side in the defensive zone

Be interesting to see how this team does when everyone leaves for selection camp/WJC

I saw the replay on the scoreboard but didn't understand the ruling. For those watching at home, what were the announcers saying?

 

[GobigorGohome]

My At game report;
If not for Misq ... ..
Enough said

 

[GobigorGohome]

Kitchener was better in all aspects of the game today except for goaltending
Flame away. .

he CAN be a good player....just has to prove himself.

Agreed.
He made an awesome move to the left to beat the deman then a deke on the goalie and put it in the open side..
How is it interference when You have the puck/?
He scored 2 nice goals that did not count.The kid was one of the best LK's today.
Regula the other one .

 

[GobigorGohome]

And one other observation today.
If our forward strength is speed,Why the heck were we playing a 4 guys across the blue line and one guy in the middle?
We have absolutely No forecheck what so ever.
I was saying to my wife how the Rags dman move the puck up ice so easily.
Then I realized they had all the time of the day as they were not pressured.
So our speeed advantage is totally wasted IMO.
Rolofs ,McGurn and Montgomery we sitting 2 rows in front of us in their snazzy suits.If they were pissed for sitting they did not show it as they were having a good time on their phones.
Again not to be a negative nelly

You do, if their names are Tymkin or Nelson.

 

[TheCoach]

Anyone have video of the match Hawel got?

I have to disagree regarding Keane. I actually thought he played well today, aside from the delay of game penalty.
