London Knights 2018-19 Season Thread (Part 9)

[Millpond]

We are taking the fans in Owen Sound are happy with their new Attack's additions, we will follow them closely as we did liked them here in London as well

The Knights are renowned for player development. I don't recall one player the Attack obtained from the Knights who wasn't a great performer, and all were fan favorites.

Have to give something to get something so no doubt you all got some players that will help you through a rebuild or a retool. As for our get in this I hope for his sake the team pulls it together and he gets a good long playoff run in his final year.

 

[Buttsy]

Crazy to think there's a pretty good chance we finish as 3rd seed

Agreed two weeks ago the numbers still looked positive but really this “funk” has been ongoing for a while now. Hard to believe Dale can’t seem to pull this group out of it, still time I guess we are 4 points in the positive but the schedule after this weekend is not kind.

Each team has 8 remaining games

London 2 home (Flint, Saginaw) 6 road (Kitchener, Hamilton, Erie, Guelph, Soo, Saginaw) .. If they lose to all of the top teams and beat the lower teams they go 4-4 for 97 points.

Soo 6 home (Oshawa, Owen Sound, Sarnia, Windsor, London, Saginaw) 2 Road (Sudbury, Saginaw) .. I don't see Soo winning out, but could get 6 or 7 wins. 6 wins gets them 97 points.

Saginaw 4 home (Kingston, Peterborough, Soo, London) 4 Road (Guelph, London, Sarnia, Soo) .. I could see Saginaw getting anywhere from 5 to 7 wins.

No question... every game for every team is a must win at this point. Knights must win all 4 against the lower teams and get 2 wins in the remaining 4 .. if they can do that, then that forces one of the Soo or Saginaw to win out.

London loss Tuesday
Soo loss last night
Ottawa loss tonight

What else is new?

This season is making it clear that any team can beat any team on a given night. Playoffs are different. The best teams will prevail. Hope the Knights figure things out over next 8 games.

Thanks Otto.
OT Wins will be critical for the Knights with their remaining 8 games before PO's.
The boys know they must prepare to play high end 60 minute games in a team format.

4 games for Lochead... Seems fair.

 

[Fastpace]

4 games for Lochead... Seems fair.

Wow! That way less I thought he'd get but I am happy he'll be there to start the playoffs.

Maybe the league is sending the message for all teams to emphasizes more with all players skating down the ice looking down at the puck.

 

[superdee]

4 games for Lochead... Seems fair.

No it doesn't at all. Clean check and shouldn't have got anything or Samarukov should have got the same for the Cotter hit and whoever hit Boqvist with head check same thing. Typical *bull**** where Knights get screwed. Everybody was all over me when I said Samarukov should have got a match and suspension and everybody said clean hit. The two hits were exactly the same with the exception of Samarukov getting cut when he hit the ice. The referees in this league need to smarten the ***k up and get some consistency moving forward and the league needs to as well. They let Guelph away with slashes all game and then that **it happens. ***holes is all I can say!!

 

[Otto]

Let's be honest here... the four games his going to be missing for the Knights should win anyway without him... whether they do or not is another story.. but it's Kitchener, Hamilton, Erie, and Flint... c'mon....

Kitchener - more points than London in last 10 games
Erie - more points than London in last 10 games
Hamilton - same points as London in last 10 games
Flint - very inconsistent, look out if they show up

4 games for a clean hit? Sounds about (London) right

 

[Otto]

Kitchener - more points than London in last 10 games
Erie - more points than London in last 10 games
Hamilton - same points as London in last 10 games
Flint - very inconsistent, look out if they show up

Kitchener=London's Bitch
Erie=Knights put 8 goals on them last time
Hamilton=Knights beat them during that 10 game span
Flint=Blows Chunks

[KnightWatch]

I have to agree (in part) with Superdee. I didn't see any difference between the Samarukov hit on Cotter and the Lochead hit, and Samarukov didn't even get a two-minute penalty. Seems a little sketchy to me, but to be honest, I also expected him to get more than four games, so I'll take the (London) penalty and carry on. Playoffs can't start soon enough....hopefully it'll wake this team up out of it's current coma!

....and maybe, just maybe, Samarukov (and the rest of the Storm) will think twice before lining up another one of our players!

 

[aresknights]

Suspension is what it is. Gotta suck it up n play thru it.
He saw Samawhoever on the tracks and went to lay the boom. Unfortunately the league saw it as a suspendable offense. No sense worrying about seeing similar hits not penalized. All in the eye of the beholder.
I don't mind him being aggressive. I don't think he was hunting n looking for a headshot.
But his presence is much needed on the back end come POs.

 

[aresknights]

A solid 3 game performance this weekend is unexpected by me considering the last month, but hope Im wrong.

Is Boqvist the players other teams seem to target? To go after n play hard against? Or is just me? Seems to take his far share of whacks n bumps. Is what it and gotta play thru it.

 

[Living Vicariously]

Do those work for the Atrack and Spirit fans that don't see it your way too?

They apparently don’t work for the league.

 

[Otto]

They apparently don’t work for the league.

Wasn't my question.. thanks for playing

 

[Living Vicariously]

Wasn't my question.. thanks for playing

Oh right, sorry. Apparently those lenses were working for those other fans. But they didn’t make the call that mattered after further review. I must have been playing another game not called Illusory Truth Effect.

So you are saying that those other fans are biased towards the Knights... despite cheering for rivals

 

[GobigorGohome]

Rangers are actually outplaying the Knights.
