Watching on tv. Didn’t look like anything more than Martin wanting to go with someone.

If you’re going to instigate against a seemingly uninterested player, at least earn a draw.
 
Cowan SH goal is on Mesar, bad pass to a turnover. We got in the melee, came out with a PP and give London the lead. Brutal.

I hope they respond and step up to McCue...no idea how Reid came away with a penalty and McCue away clean when he headlocked and tried to (may have succeeded) in slew footing him and then pushing his face into the ice. Can't let OAs take serious liberties with rookies like that.

This team isn't too soft imo, it's too clean.

Never do a blind pass backwards in your own end. Get it out first.

Sale needs to be off PP1 in favour of Sop. Has no urgency or the ability to make fast decisions. Play dies on his stick.

Thought the same every PP. He's the weak link in PP1.

I liked Mesar's defensive game tonight. Threw a couple of good hits and saw him behind the Ranger net on more than one occasion.

It helps when his family is in the stands. Needs to keep up that play and we need goals from him.

The kid is good and all. But Andonovski is my captain next year.

Ando has grown so much over the years. From the kid that could be easily egged into conflict to the young man who is now all business and helping to lead the team. That goal of his last night was a thing of beauty. Good on him.

Rangers did a great job last night of not caving after going down a couple to the Knights. They scored some timely goals. Good to see Martin back in the fold. Had a bit of a scrap with his old minor hockey buddy McCue. Razor with his 49th of the season with the winner in OT. Reading Pyette's article on the game seems like the refs caused the loss. Knights are sending in a request to the league for clarification on why the penalties were called in the scrum. Rangers should to because McCue walked away from it unscathed. One thing you notice with the Knights is they set up quick in the offensive end and always seem to perch two forwards on both sides of the goalie to pick up loose pucks and deliver them on net. Rangers are doing a better job getting players in front of opposing nets lately. Anyhow in the end the Rangers actually beat the Knights which doesn't happen to often.

What a knight. There are chinks in the armour and the Rangers kept poking at it last night. They proved that they can play with the best and are continuing to regain their form IMO. And remember, one of those goals wouldn't have happened had a penalty been called for the blatant pulling down of Razor, who then slid into the net and Simpson. What a stupid play on their part and a super non-call by the Ref.

Rangers fought back and played an excellent game last night....perfect.....no....but truly an all-out effort. The Cowan goal should never have happened. It was the one lull when Rangers were standing around and comatose as witnessed by the lame pass that Cowan jumped on. But the boys kept playing until they tied it up.

56 seconds into OT. Reid made a stellar play to eliminate a Knights opportunity, Sop grabbed the puck and raced towards the London zone, and Razor blew it past Simpson.

GAME OVER. And you know what they say about karma.........

But no comment on Dickinson yapping to the ref on the way to the box and then continuing to do so until finally (waited too long IMO) the ref had enough. Boom....10 minute misconduct. What a stupid, stupid move on Dickinson's part that could have been avoided.

No comment on the total non-call of Razor being hauled down which then resulted in a London goal that would have never happened if that call had been made. Let's have a clarification on that.

Oshawa and Kitchener have both shown that the Knights can be beaten. Good on them!

Pyette had his green and gold glasses on writing the article. Also wearing a life jacket in case he fell in the river he was crying about the refs doing the Knight wrong.;) Not easy to type while swallowing a bucket of sour grapes with tears in your eyes. I've done it many times after the Rangers lost to the Good Knights. :)

The refs were pretty patient with Dickinson, but once he started banging his stick on the glass in the box, they had enough and T'd him up. I thought LDN got the extra in the scrum because of the Gazizov slash as it was breaking up and players were skating away. He didn't seem to know that the ref was right behind him and it was called immediately. They called the stuff in the scrum pretty much even.

If you didn't enjoy that game, then probably junior hockey isn't for you. It doesn't get much more entertaining than that.
