crazy that no team has tried to copy owen sounds play style against London, you would think teams that are more skilled then OS was would have challenged London a little better... crazy to think London toughest test was to a young Attack team with no offence lol

Although it is good the Attack beat the Knights two times at the beginning of the playoffs, it is no longer the same team at near the end of the series, losing to the Attack is what woke them up for the series. No way without taking anything from them would the Attack beat the Knights today. But it sure does look very promising for next year and many other years after.

Very reminiscent of Owen Sound's struggles with a young up and coming Knights team with nothing to lose in 2011

This is a bit outside the minutiae of the current series - so perhaps I'm better to circle back with this question on the off season... but... what did you think about Ben Jones this past season?

The reason I asked is a I really liked him when he was with the Marlies. I was was hoping to see more from him this past season. My viewing of the Ice Dogs this season wasn't attuned enough to Jones to know why that was (is it he was underwhelming? the team was too 'senior' for him to get more time? the coach wasn't giving him time he ought to have received?).

In order to do that a coach would have to abandon the game plan that got them where they are to begin with and then scramble to put a new plan together.

Ned stands on his head. Dogs win 4-3 Perlini wins it in OT. Good luck and whatever happens you had an exceptional year.

When Williamson is in a "go for it" year, rookies rarely get any real ice. First round picks Jones and Hayden Davis didn't get as much ice because of the depth/age of the Dogs. Many would argue that Jones should be playing instead of Tyler Boston right now. Next year Jones will be looked upon heavily with the Dogs graduating so many players.

5-3 LondonIt might work who knows? Give it a shot

 

[rangersblues]

5 - 2 Knights. I have tickets for game 5 but I'm not making dinner reservations for anywhere before the game.

 

[Duke Guy]

Watch for Tyler Boston to score a goal tonight.....

These last two games the refs have been absolutely brutal against the Knights, I can replay the games and view the calls in slow motion, all the knee on knee and diving call etc. . Extending a series because of a TV Network deal for more revenues and league exposure is not cool or professional, let's hope this is not the reason and we will see a honest end of this series. Oh ya ! I almost forgot, the Ice Dogs should concentrate less on diving and more on playing hockey.

Cmon, no need to post this here.

And yet it remains a mystery why fans of all other OHL teams have such a bad taste in their mouth.....

He's the spokesperson for the vast minority.

If you read carefully, all I am suggesting is that we see a honest series of games of hockey till the end. The rest has no meaning if none of it isn't true.

Give it a rest already. There is no fix. Leagues do not attempt to extend playoffs just like teams do not lose on purpose so they can get an extra home game.

You need to work on your delivery then, as I read it pretty carefully. You're sullying everyone's perception of London fans by posting things like this on other boards - kinda like gloating does.

Your kidding of course. No one would post something like this unless they were trying to be funny right? Just asking.

None of your posts have any meaning. Which is the beauty of it.

Go Dogs! Should be a championship year.

No...but the Ice Dogs should be congratulated on an excellent playoff run. It was quite the run--great fan base.
