London Knights 2018-19 Season Thread (Part 8)

[Knights Watcher]

I'd almost rather Guelph considering how much your hounds have owned us

Me too. I now know how the Rangers feel against us.

It happened fast...but Provie definitely initiated the entire sequence. Lochead isn't innocent, but if anything the call should have been even up.

They did both get a penalty for the slash I am guessing Lochead said something out of bounds to Ivan and was given the game. Only a guess but they had taken him towards the box before taking him off the ice.

BTW on the Kooy front he made at least five saves in the second period he never should have made, at least three of those were grade A open net type saves where he somehow managed to either get a piece of the puck or glove it.

tbh I just want us to beat Guelph, SAG and SSM before the end of the season. If we do that and play 500 hockey for all the other games thats fine...I just want us prepared for the playoffs

Saturday was actually one of the better goaltending performances the Knights have had recently. A number of 10 bell saves

Another X LK bites Dale and possers GM in the azz , First Emmet Pierce now Matthew Vella
Another goose egg for Evangilista.What is he now 25 games with Zero goals?

 

[GobigorGohome]

Would Tymkin and Lochead been the difference today?

Yup another 4 minutes in penalties for sure.

 

[GobigorGohome]

Time for Dale to look for a new coach.The team has quit on him.

 

[Radar9]

Tree games in Three nights give the guys a break

 

[ohloutsider]

Better to have your mini-slump now than in the playoffs. PP might be your undoing.

 

[Fastpace]

looked to me as though our defence sucked not our goaltending - thought we had the best defencive core in the league - not tonight

You mean the entire team sucked defensively , wondering what ever happened to defense first system.

 

[Gloverone2020]

Another stinker. With a big smelly loss. Not looking good down the stretch. Better smarten up. To many stupid penalties

 

[Fastpace]

How did we go from 2 great goalies in the first half of the year to 2 crappy goalie in the second half of the year?? Someone enlighten me..

They are not crappy, the team plays with a broken down system, it’s the whole team’s fault.

 

[Fastpace]

Would Tymkin and Lochead been the difference today?

Yes it would have made a big difference, both made big hole in their team system.

The Knights have not been playing well since that northern trip starting in Barrie. Lately they have been playing poorly against bottom teams, we kind of new if they play the same way against stronger teams they wouldn’t do too well.

 

[Knights Watcher]

Hopefully some of this undisciplined, selfish play and extra curricular activity ends today. Dale need to nip that in the Bud at next practice. D needs to tighten up, leave some of the offense to the forwards and stop hanging your goalies out to dry on constant odd man rushes and breakaways becausese they are too busy pinching in or trying to go end to end on ther own. Forwards need to stop looking for that pretty rink wide pass and shoot the Gosh darn puck.

Yes, you could see this coming that weekend struggling against Barrie and North Bay.

 

[aresknights]

Game got a bit chippy kudos to SSM for the W. Earned it.

It would be an interesting fiesty PO matchup.

London hasnt been playing well for a couple weeks. Time will tell if they can turn it around. Players gotta own it and get back to doing the little things that win games. Get harder on pucks, win battles ect... Getting outworked can be fixed IF the will to do so is there.

Not being critical of the player, but what was the point of the trade at the deadline barrie? Appears pointless

Are you talking about Timms? If do they had to unload an O/A to make room for Hancock

J.Keane?

Maybe looking for another D-man to put in front of the net on the PP?

 

[LR8]

Yes sorry Barrie trade for Keane?

Trying to decipher your Jack Daniels-laced post. Are you implying that Soo goalie Matthew Villalta is actually Emmanuel Vella? Fascinating theory!

I'm not sure what you mean. Matthew Villalta is not an ex-LK. Emanuel Vella is but he plays for the Flint Firebirds
