I really hope the boys are ready for the Sting to come out flying and looking for vengeance tonight. No matter what happened last time, Voit and Pastujov can take over a game by themselves. Looks like Sarnia is getting Burke back too but they’re missing Gaudreau and others. Standings are too close. Flint has to take advantage of that stuff. Knowing these two teams? Flint wins in heartbreaking fashion in Sarnia tonight then the Sting pick up a big W tomorrow in Flint. Anybody else notice Boe Piroski was backing for Ottawa last night vs Windsor?

Ha. I was just gonna say that there might be 5 on the board but Cranley played solid and made some huge stops to keep them up by 1. Guryev with as many in 5 games as Othmann has in 10. I wonder if they’re still looking to add a D or if they’re done. Deline has been really good. Kuzmin has been really good and has added a bit more hitting and grit to his game this year. They’ve both been great lately.

We have seen some bad teams in Flint. But I don't think Ive ever seen a start that bad. First 10 minutes just absolutely brutal. Very bad Cranley tonight, gave up some bad softies.

And what was up with all the fanned shots? Had to be at least a half dozen or more where guys just wiffed with the puck on the tape.

Thin lineup tonight.




Kressler missed 2 weekends ago with the Flu, Bradshaw was out last weekend with it. Deline, Hayes, Guryev, C. Pitre out tonight. Gotta expect its more of the same.

Completely agree. Dent dropped the ball there once again. Would have easily paid that price. Not only did his miss but he’s in the Conference. Hope he’s got plans. This team needs AT LEAST two pieces to compete in the postseason.

Knowing Dent, I believe he is looking for more rugged, bigger forwards that can provide some offense if any.

Another great game between the teams. Hope Lombardi is alright. I know he came back but he still didn't look right. He alone is worth the price of admission.

Has felt like a weekly meet up between these teams, but now we don't meet again till February. Hopefully by then we each are healthy & gearing up. Hope yall enjoy the holidays!

Hello Firebirds fans
Tonight I am reaching out to the broader hockey family and communities not as a London Knights fan, but as a concerned human being. As you know, one of our Knights players died tragically this past Saturday. His friends, family and the community are devastated.
Please consider donating to the GoFundMe page set up by his family to help with the funeral arrangements.
Thank you

Thanks for posting this. As a father, I can’t even begin to imagine what that’s like. Let alone being on another continent right before Christmas. Thank you. Hopefully Flint considers doing something the next time the Knights are in town too.

Ok so I have to question this. The gofundme is gone already. What is up with that?

"We are absolutely devastated by Abakar's passing and are looking for support from family, friends and the community to help cover the cost of the funeral arrangements."

The Knights aren't covering the cost of the funeral? Is that not strange to anyone else?

I was only questioning why the gofundme got taken down. My concern was that it may have been a scam of some kind. I am happy to see it is legit and we can do something to ease his family's burden in some small way. As far as what the Knights may or may not be doing to assist the family only they know so it seems pointless to speculate on it.
