London Knights 2019-20 Season Thread (Part 6)

[67hockeyfan]

Sorry no...i am really floored. Rarely hear about this happening....especially a goalie. And in Hunters world this is not going to be good...I guess it could be recreational (pot), or PED’s...right?

They’re pretty strict. Yes, marijuana might be legal, but not for CHL players (just an example....I have no idea what drug is involved here).

 

[tjziel]

Gonna have to break out my Patrick Kane jersey tomorrow night, instead of my regular John Tavares jersey, but I’m not complaining

 

[zman77]

Just a thought: This is a 'surprise story.'
Ryan Pyette would not twitter unless there was some solid proof.
Perhaps there was a rumour on this behaviour while he was playing in the WHL?

 

[dmead]

Wow! Just wow! This is really an interesting season isn't it?

 

[LDN]

Wow! Just wow! This is really an interesting season isn't it?

Whaaat is this? Someone please explain.

 

[Purple Phart]

So, to overlap the individual players' music choice, do the goaltenders also get to choose ? If so, and in line with "current events" this tune from way back when could become a fan favorite:

 

[Knights Watcher]

OK, why didn't Branch step in here? Thought London had em in their back pocket.

Looks like it was a prohibited supplement.

OHL Announces Disciplinary Action – Ontario Hockey League

Let's wait on Myskiw judgement until we hear what it actually is... if it's weed or PED's those are two very different violations. With it only being 8 games, I'm assuming it's something minor that they have no tolerance for.

If its PED hes obviously doing them wrong

 

[MatthewsMoustache]

they’re making it seem like it was some form of PED in a post workout drink. it says in the rational (that Knights Watcher has posted the link to above) that it was a drink from a reliable vendor and that he didn’t know it was in the drink.

I’m not even remotely sure what is and what isn’t allowed with that kind of stuff as we rarely ever see it in the OHL (last one being Danial Singer at the start of the 18-19 season IIRC, they were nowhere near as transparent as they were this time around).

they make it seem like it was something minor. probably some kind of substance in some post-workout drinks that literally no one knows exists and no one is going to check the labels for on the side. 8 games seems harsh though. something not adding up

 

[Generalsupdates]

Sounds like it was a creatine type thing Myskiw took from GNC but had a banned ingredient in it that he didn't realize

 

[Knights2729]

Sooooo who i the backup for the next 8 games? Onuska? I hope not!!

 

[TheCoach]

Cue team sponsored and approved supplements

 

[TheCoach]

Sooooo who i the backup for the next 8 games? Onuska? I hope not!!

Why not? Start Brochu all 8 games chances are if Onuska gets put in the score is lopsided anyways.

 

[nelli27]

"Just say no"... to Onuska.

 

[Otto]

No 3 in 3's during the 8 game suspension... but there are 2 games against Windsor... and we all know how much they love running our goalies....

 

[StormWatcher]

Someone needs to tell Dylan that the drugs are supposed to enhance your performance.

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

I knew about the Myskiw situation earlier in the week. Now that it's out it's his to deal with. Hopefully he learns a valuable lesson from this experience

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

Sooooo who i the backup for the next 8 games? Onuska? I hope not!!

Yes

 

[sbpointer]

Lucas Bain emergency call up? Again...
I don't watch much GOJHL is Onuska having as bad a year as stats indicate. It kind of looks like he's on a bad team so I'm sure that contributes.

 

[Buttsy]

I’ve seen him play for the Stars 3-4 times this season. He is definitely on a BAD team. However he seems to have learned to play to the level of his teammates?

 

[Buttsy]

They’re pretty strict. Yes, marijuana might be legal, but not for CHL players

Hmm if it had of been marijuana this would have explained his recent play lately?

St Thomas is arguably the worst team in the GOJHL loop

Nice....is this a game worn shirt????

 

[dmead]

Well, I'm a smidge too old so they can't call me up from the Greater London Ibruprofen and Laxative League. So I guess Onuska and a few call ups from around the area are in order.

As to players music I seem to recall Parsons had a certain song play whenever he came up with one of his miracle saves. I believe it was Freaks by Timmy Trumpet.

 

[Buttsy]

Actually PP31 it’s not arguable at all they are in fact the worst. They have been trading off their “loyal soldiers” now to try and give them a shot of playing somewhere and wining. Of course as well as try and build for next season also.
