London Knights 2019-20 Season Thread (Part 4)

[Otto]

I remember watching my first game in the 70's watching Dennis Ververgaert play a Grimsby Boy and a hell of a Knight.
Edit-parity

GO PEACH KINGS!

I've spent a lot of time in that rink over the years. I had a buddy in high school play for them , then my cousin played there 10 years later. Still have a lot of family there.

 

[Otto]

Knights have a .712 winning percentage over that last 5 seasons when players are gone for the World Juniors

Beautiful Back check by Stranges, thats what I like to see from him.

 

[tjziel]

Woah did I just see Antonio Stranges just come up behind Damiani and breakup up a breakaway?? I have to post on here to find a second opinion so I can believe what my eyes just saw

 

[Otto]

This guy in the red jacket during the intermission is a cross between Patton Oswalt and Jim Van Horne

Holy crap is Panwar trash!!!

Otto, born and raised in the old Matchbox (aka) arena. The corners felt like 90 degrees, played 5 years 81-85 Grimsby was Junior B back then.
We must have some mutual friends, small world and a smaller town. All the best!!

I definitely saw you play... my buddy was Cam Simmons.. my cousin is Dean Scobie

I know both, my nephew Mike Davies played with Kitchener and Saginaw. I played with Berg, Emerson, Kucharuk. Martin nice to meet you. The stories are all lies.

No chance we win tonight if all the shots come outside the face off circle. We just don’t have the skill from our players to beat defenseman to get in close. We’re relying too much on Liam Foudy and McMichael and their speed to get us quality chances, and relying too much on our PP.

 

[ReLyT]

Erase that game from memory and move on QUICK.
Without Regula and Gruden this could be an ugly run of games. But these are always some of my favorites of the year. Get to see the depth actually get chances and who steps up and who doesn't.
Tonight was not good.

 

[Stopper]

Its gonna get worse till after wjc

 

[LDN]

Good test...we failed

Was hoping we would stay “red hot” until the boys leave for the WJC. In reality though we have had a solid start (perhaps even overachieved) to the season and banked some valuable points. Traditionally we do ok during the WJC hopefully we continue this past trend. Should be interesting to see what the team looks like in the New Year as Mark and Dale have a front seat on some potential upgrades. I think we may see some additions / subtractions announced immediately following the WJC.

 

[Buttsy]

I remember the last time he took a break... February of 2016 if memory serves... Good things happened...

I miss his posts, I appreciate he has different views at times then the “main stream” but he’s a Hockey guy. And he likes to post what’s on his mind regardless of what others think? No personal attacks although often attacked himself. Hope his self imposed sabbatical has a time frame and it’s close to expiring!

So 11,052 bears were tossed in Kitchener. London less than 9000. That’s embarrassing.

Is it fair to say the next month will determine who is sent packing. If you weren’t getting ice time before you will now. Take advantage of it.

LKR it’s about giving. Think about it 9000 kids in London will have a smile on their face that may not have had one this Xmas. I get your thought but it’s not really a competition? Congrats and Thank You to the folks that opened their heart and wallet. Focus on the upside I know you know that but those people should feel good about their actions. Not be ticked at the people that don’t give? IMO anyway?

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

Thanks for posting a good image of the back of our current jersey. The Armoury is selling replicas with black around the numbers (3 colour twill) which I knew was not correct.

Here is what the Armoury is selling. Kind of embarrassing that they don't know what the team's jerseys look like

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

I don't think it's panic time just yet...but I've got this funny feeling the next few weeks isn't gonna be fun to watch if everyone sticks at their respective camp

I don't know where to start concerning last night's game
