Appreciate the sentiment.... but theres a long way to go

He would never say those things about the Soo. He calls them the bridesmaids never the bride. I think other than that it's pretty good. He's also said if they win great and if they lose no big deal so let's just to be honest and he's just a mouth piece for the organization.

Why do I have a feeling your post will be plagiarized within the next 24 hrs?

Finally nabbed one of my most sought after jerseys. CCM version not exactly as shown, I'll be rocking it tonight

Knights’ Raaymakers earns 100th OHL win

Raaymakers made 23 saves, helping the London Knights take a 7-3 road win over the Windsor Spitfires to improve to 31-7-5-1 atop the Midwest Division. The fifth-year native from Chatham, Ont. earned his 100th win in his 170th career regular season game to improve to 21-4-3-1 on the campaign with a 2.78 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage.
The 20-year-old becomes the first OHL goaltender to hit the milestone since Erie’s Devin Williams did so during the 2015-16 season. Other members of the OHL’s 100-win club include all-time wins leader JP Anderson (Mississauga/Sarnia, 126), Kyle Gajewski (Sault Ste. Marie, 114), Jim Ralph (Ottawa, 107) and Adam Dennis (Guelph/London, 100).

Raaymakers could easily move into second for all-time wins with 14 more wins.
There are not enough games left this season to be all-time first overall.

When you're hot you're hot, 8 in 8 for Foudy!!!!

 

[Drop the Puck]

Impressive first period. #18 has some nice edges tonight, impressive curls and dishes.
Love the ‘attack’ and turnover speed on this team.

 

[nelli27]

3-0 after one.
Shots 10 to 5 London.
I like that set play that the Knights do off the faceoff in the offensive zone. Winger lines up behind the centre and if we win the draw, winger gets a shot off...see McMichael's goal. Cotter has also scored on that same play. Kudos to the coaches for drawing that up--it's been working. Winger also has the option of passing off to d-man who's cruising into the slot. McMichael did this earlier passing off to Boqvist.

[nelli27]

5-0 after two.
Shots 23-17 London.
PPs...Windsor has 3 (I think), London 0.
Where's the Friday night officiating?
Awkward moment after Foudy scored...his mom yells out "You're our favourite son, Liam! Go Knights go!"
(Yes, I'm kidding).

It seems this Hancock-Foudy-Tymkin line has some nice chemistry going.
Hope Dale keeps them together. Then when Formenton returns, put him with Cotter and Stranges. 3 potent scoring lines. Then a 4th(!) line of Moskal, Turko and Nelson.

 

[Fastpace]

Right now Liam Foudy is playing much the same way Formenton did at this time last year. To have two of them on the same team flanked on each side of Hancock.

I’d say it’ll be awesome to watch

Yes, where is the blatant pro-Knights officiating tonight?
And last night for that matter too?

 

[Otto]

And?

yup.. misinterpreted... thought he was talking about all-time Knights... my mistake

Sounds good to me!

Anybody notice how Tymkin has busted out since playing with guys not named Turko.....and Moskal as well, last night? Some on here say Turko is underrated. I say he is overrated, by Dale & Company. Sure he does a lot of little things right and is good defensively, but let's face it, he is an offensive liability and his line is where forwards go to break outta their hot streaks.

Post-game thoughts:
Not many...it was just your old fashion blow out. I didn't miss the skills competition tonight, I saw it at the Bud (team in the green)!
Knights trying to get Evangelista that elusive first goal---came close on the final PP--he was out there for the full 2 min. He'll bulk up over the summer and will be a key contributor next season. Imagine how many points Stranges would have if he was given the same amount of ice time as J-L Foudy and Cuylle...I think we'll find out next year. I don't recall any team relying on two 16 yr olds to be their main point producers, but Windsor seems content to have their two first round picks lead the way. Bizarre.
Spits could be our first round opponent in the playoffs.

Hedon rating: 10/10

I knew you guys would warm up to Kevin Hancock.

Don't worry about the hype surrounding players. "Watch them play".

BTW
Suzuki has 9 points over 7 games and 1 point in his last 4 games.
KH has 15 points over his 10 games and 9 over the last 4 games.

Not that getting Suzuki would have sucked or anything....but Hancock is just good at everything (except maybe the first two steps ; )

Yes, "Herbie" has been great! No complaints here. He's needed no adjustment period. Huge piece of the puzzle.

Tymkin was leading the team in scoring in November so not sure he has just "busted out" now.

He has had a solid year from day 1.

Anyone notice Dale trying hard to get Evangelista going...hopefully he gets one soon! Good win tonight. Pretty dominant...keep rolling..Its too bad we didnt play well on that road trip
