Shots on goals after one 17 - 5 Guelph, two of the Knights five came in the last 26 seconds of play. Port Stanley Sailors could beat the Knights the way they are starting their games of late, you'd think after losing 4 - 0 to N B they'd be hungry for the puck

Another slow start. Hmmm...

Love the Play By Play. Only thing we havent heard yet is "boom goes the dynamite".

So lets see if there is any fight left in this team.

4-0 now. Don't see any fight in them. But management is just as equal to blame for this late season collapse
Could not agree more. The future isn't promised to anyone. This building for next season excuse doesn't hold water anymore. If you have a chance to go for it then you take that chance. This season was an opportunity wasted IMO

Glad to see someone agreeing with me 😊

I don't get it. You didn't think the Knights would get 15 wins this season. They have more than exceeded your expectations.

Hopefully this is the momentum swing we were all waiting for

Point still stands. You want to win a championship, the you need to go all in. Hamilton and windsor both have gm's that aren't afraid to swing. Mark can't seem to make up his mind on when he wants to win

I just think this Knights team is running out of offensive steam right at the wrong time. The games are already ramping up to be harder like the playoffs and the Knights may not have another gear to reach.

I could see Kitchener taking us out in the first round again.

It was only 10 years without a single PO series win.
So then why is mark so afraid of getting big game changers like owen beck or del bel beluz. Getting guys like winterton and Humphries has already been proven that guys like that won't put you over the top

Knights never showed up in the first period….. Zack wasn’t his usual self … pertaining to the deadline deals …. IMO Hunter knew we didn’t have enough assets to go all the way so we’ll play with what we have and then pickup a player in the draft who won’t report to a team … just like how we got Dickinson…..

Remember the year mark ran out of cards, and mismanaged them? Yea that was the year we got reverse swept by guelph. Now he was too chicken to go all in and now it's showing.
Of all the years he has had success, he's also had many more years of mismanaged/failures.
So of course I'm going to be skeptical of him
Reverse sweep? Was that the year they got Suzuki from OS?.......they came back on every team in the west that year from at least 3-1 down, no?
Wasnt just LK they rolled after being down huge. They did it 3 straight times being down big. Team was an outlier and had a great run, a unique sell then buy year, (loved how they set that up and how they flipped it, great job.....but that dont happen often)

He was chicken? Chickens dont move 1st rd rookie picks, trade for defective players, take fliers on players like George...... Lol.

OR, maybe just maybe they tried to add more and things didnt work out that year you referenced. ( or this year for that matter )
I wont get into specifics, but know from a parent directly that one move they wanted to make that year couldnt be completed thru no fault of theirs. Player wanted a different local (for 2 reasons) It happens.
It isnt playstation, where you wish to make a move n it happens.

I gave my wish list earlier. Hoped Mark added another F.... No biggie. So Im not defending his every move. Not in the least. Nor does any1 on here.

Once again, you have zero knowledge of what was or wasn't discussed.

Rest bodies, get a couple back in the lineup, decide on PP/PK setups n rotations, fine tune systems in practice, get focused........Looking forward to rhe POs. Still got us 3rd fav. In the West, looking up come POs. Fun year thou!!!

Limping into the playoffs. The way they've played lately they wouldn't even beat the Otters or the Ice Dogs.
