Felt like the effort wasn't really there all game, for either team, and like who cares really. We've seen these two battle it out in much higher intensity games earlier this season.
Oh I was right in that corner and I saw him begging to not fight. Guess what, when you're a dirty and cheap hockey player like him you don't get the benefit of the doubt and sometimes karma gets the best of you.As I said on the Knights board, replay showed his gloves were on and he was bending over to pick up his stick when he was jumped.
Sim is no stranger to instigating things. I guess it's just funny to see the handwringing when Sim is on the other end.Sim wasn't trying to fight to avoid suspension and the Kitchener player started swinging early.
Real tough.
Maybe it's my own ignorance and our fans are doing it too, but I get pretty sick of the moral grandstanding and pearl clutching from fans of other teams coming in hear who have and will defend anything of this sort that their team does.Oh I was right in that corner and I saw him begging to not fight.

He refused the fight to avoid suspension, he's maxed out. Hey, I don't blame you guys for not liking him, probably remember what he did to Rehkopf last year.Oh I was right in that corner and I saw him begging to not fight.

Didn't want to fight to avoid suspension as he's at maximum. 30 goals, point per game, shit disturber...we'll keep him!!Oh I was right in that corner and I saw him begging to not fight.

He wouldn't have been suspended unless he instigated it which he clearly wasn't there so he would have been fine even if he dropped them earlier.He refused the fight to avoid suspension, he's maxed out.

Only way he avoids suspension is if he's instigated upon.He wouldn't have been suspended unless he instigated it which he clearly wasn't there so he would have been fine even if he dropped them earlier.
And he clearly was so he's safe.Only way he avoids suspension is if he's instigated upon.
IMO only one team in the OHL that potentially can beat Kitchener in a best of seven. Unfortunately we are both in the same division / conference. You know hang a right out of Kitchener and drive about an hour WestYeesh. Surely round one will be a formality. (I know. Ask the 2023 Spits about that).
But if we don’t get to round two game 6 or 7 minimum, we’ll be back here debating whether we should have sold off or not at the deadline!![]()
Then maybe he should adjust his style of play to warrant not wanting a fight. He runs around like a goof, runs his mouth better than most. His antics at the penalty box and then after the game skating over to the section of fans that boo'd him and clapping his stick while nodding his head at them, its a real shame he can't control his emotions at all because otherwise he is a pretty good player. Bonk had to go tell him to simmer down TWICE.....Sim wasn't trying to fight to avoid suspension and the Kitchener player started swinging early.
Real tough.
Highlight of the game. MacNiel absolutely demolished Sim then Sim has a complete meltdown in the box. Not so much fun when the beatdown is on you. By a rookie no less. Embarrassing and well-deserved.Sim loses the fight badly against the kid D Macniel and then cries in the penalty box.
Softer than 2 ply
Not to mention most shutouts...Him being first or 2nd in every stat would suggest otherwise.
He knew what was coming. He dilly dallied waiting for MacNiel to make the first move then got surprised by a major and embarrassing beatdown by a rookie. Cry me a river.As I said on the Knights board, replay showed his gloves were on and he was bending over to pick up his stick when he was jumped.
He will be a fan favourite. I hope it’s here.My synopsis of last nights meaningless contest. London won the game . Rangers won the battles. As for Sim he got whupped by a rookie and he was embarrassed. Excuses are like butt holes. McNeil is proving he can throw them.He will be a fan favourite going forward.
Parsons is a whole lot more valuable to the Rangers than Eliot is to the Knights.Not to mention most shutouts...
young experienced D-men can bring nice returns. I suspect McNiel will be in the regular playoff lineup. I think Bieliki(sp?) has a great future but his coverage in the d zone isnt playoff readyHe will be a fan favourite. I hope it’s here.
I like the kid and he’d have been in the lineup more if it were up to me, but the blueline is going to be super crowded next year.

That’s before our OA’s, imports, or 09’s are sorted out. Not to mention a possible flyer (Bray).
Nice problem to have.
Last year, this year, and the next two will be the best four year stretch this team has seen in years. Probably DeBoer yearsDo you feel your team will be even better next season? Cause if so…. LOOK OUT! Very impressive system. I am curious to see how the playoffs shake out, but you guys have as good a shot as anyone. The type of hockey you play is playoff style. Honestly if I was a Rangers fan I would be feeling amazing about the future with Jussi and co running this shop plus a great depth of prospects, young players and one of the most desirable places to play in the CHL.
The glory years for sure! Oh yes Deboer era was a fun time for sure.Last year, this year, and the next two will be the best four year stretch this team has seen in years. Probably DeBoer years
We have 22 returning, signed players going into next year, most if not all are legit OHLers. And that’s BEFORE, imports, OA’s and 09’s are factored in.
This is an extremely great time to be a Ranger fan.
I know he is on the outside looking in but I wouldnt count out Schneider as of yet. I still say he has a shot of cracking the 3rd pairing/ 7th D. I have a feeling that the preseason next year will be VERY competitive.He will be a fan favourite. I hope it’s here.

Yup. Forgot him in that post. But he’s included in the 22 I mentioned after, and below.I know he is on the outside looking in but I wouldnt count out Schneider as of yet.
