London Knights 2021-22 Season Thread (Part 6)

[Ringing Iron]

Yea I think we'll lose this game for sure. Hope I'm wrong.
Brochu doesn't know how to handle wrap arounds

Injury related. Ankles are kind of important when moving laterally.

Keep on being a pessimist

Why because it's true? Don't have enough depth forwards to move on

 

[Knights77]

I sold my tickets for game 7.

I would pick the Rags to win but we all know what happens when I do that


When I played during warmups if it didn't hit me I didn't move to stop it. I'm getting warmed up..not facing shooters for the Stanley Cup

Ya well junior goalies DO move to stop the puck lol. Granted they aren’t trying to stop everything but still, his reaction time to low blocker was piss poor. And they should have it figured out by now but their shooting is terrible.

 

[aresknights]

Drive the net without the puck off a rush please! Creates space. They all float to the outside.
And get to the blue ice when in the O zone cycling or on point shots and do it with some purpose.
To easy on KTown team D when everyone stays perimeter. Gotta get Cajan uncomfortable, rebounds will be there.
Adjustment time.
Turn up the GAF meter.
Hoping for Morgan n Stranges to lead the way this period.....for diffrent reasons.

I missed the snow job since when do they call that ffs

 

[ArielNederland]

Stranges to dressing room...

 

[superdee]

Nice call Reid should have been slash to Sim and two to whoever cross checked him ffs. Idiot

Brochu knows how to handle wrap around. He's still hurt.

London needs to learn to keep the lead or it will come back and bite them

 

[LDN]

COME ON BOYS

 

[HockeyPops]

Watching this London camerawork is better than an amusement park ride.

 

[ArielNederland]

Well... our depth sank us and not being able to hold onto leads

Need to trade for a better backup goalie in the offseason

Seeing them outshoot the Rangers by double and not score was the theme in this series. Other than Stranges the offence was MIA in this series.

Unless Nazar comes to London, the Knights should be focusing on developing what they have, not trading for a goalie.

The fourth round pick of the Knights was an 05 who played exceptionally well in Jr B this season. He should probably be the backup this upcoming year if they believed in him enough to take him in the 4th round of an 06 draft.

 

[aresknights]

KTown hung on n made the plays they needed to win the series. Kudos.

 

[dmead]

Thank you boys for another great season of Knights hockey.

To Baber, Morgan and McSorely... good luck in all your future endeavours. Thanks for representing the Green and Gold so well.

To the fans and members here on hfboards, see you next season.

 

[three dog night]

Heartbreaking loss

 

[ArielNederland]

Already can't wait to see what barkey, cowan, bonk and testa do next season.
Goodluck to stranges and evangelista. Hope for the best for them.

 

[three dog night]

Falcons lost tonight 4 to 2 no points for Testa tonight see what happens in St Catharines Friday night.

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

The loss wasn't heartbreaking...it was inevitable.

Once again left holding the bag because of inept card management at the deadline.

This is becoming tiresome

Everyone preaches "in Mark we trust"...let's call a spade a spade when he shits the bed.

and while we're at it...when can we start discussing the fact that the C was way too heavy for Luke's jersey

 

[HockeyPops]

I thought London had as good a chance as any West team to get through to the finals, until Mailloux and Brochu went down. I don't mind how Mark played his cards. He didn't have a full cupboard from which to work from, so he let the team stand pat and still have a chance. Unfortunately that meant the team was not deep enough to withstand any significant injuries and they had 2. But it was a decent gambit.

Since the trade deadline, Kitchener was 4-2 vs London. (0-5 up to the deadline). During that time, Evangelista was not much more than a rumour. Pre-deadline, he owned the Rangers. A healthy Brochu was in net for two or three of those Ranger wins).

Kudos to the Ranger staff who figured out how to solve London’s pre-deadline domination over Kitchener.

I am not 100% sure on how many cards they had or what happened at the Deadline so Ill take your word for it but my opinion for what its worth is, You have any of the OHL goalies that moved at the deadline for very affordable prices, this series was probably over Sunday.

Brett looked fine at times but you could tell since coming back that he is very much still fighting injury. An average goalie as a back up and this series goes to London.

But I do agree with your other posts too. This line up didn't have much flow to it.

Thought Cody Morgan was excellent, Barkey is going to be a massive player in this league for years to come,

Enjoy the off season Knights fans. See you all in the fall!
