After reading the article, it looks like back end ameneties and infrastructure in the loading areas. It has nothing to do with Knights game day operations.

As to game enjoyment...
It wouldnt cost to change the damn song, cant stand that crap. Should go back to the Blur song. But there is no reason on this earth for a horn.


Best Dad joke Ive heard today. 😁
They tried changing the song a few years ago, 2016 I believe. Bobnoxious wrote a song for them to use. But a bunch of fans lost their minds, so they changed it back to Chelsea Dagger after only a handful of games.

But I agree, I'm not a huge Chelsea Dagger fan, because its the Blackhawks song. I would like something our own.

Here's the song, I found it on YouTube.

They should just go back to Song #2 by Blur.

Or maybe a montage of South American Soccer announcers yelling "GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!"

That would last about 2 games. I personally love when the Vuvuzela sounds off up in 306. Just no frigging goal horn please.

And when are we going to get Goalie Wars for intermission entertainment? Or at the very least run over the damn Finch with a Zamboni. 🙄

Not sure if any of you London fans made the trip down to Sarnia this season but they created their own goal song and it's absolutely atrocious. I can't even put it into words but it kinda sounds like a guy having a stroke with a "go sting go" mixed in every 4-5 seconds.

Sting need to stick with "black and yellow" by Wiz Khalifa imo. I second Song #2 for you guys, timeless.

I was supposed to come down to the game a few weeks ago, but didn't end up going because of the wicked snowstorm. I would be interested in hearing this new atrocious song though!

That was the same year the marketing department left cheer instructions on the seats at the home opener printed on office paper. Knew the season was doomed game one :P

Two shorties on the same pk? We'll take it, but please stop taking penalties and work on the horrible pp!

Good pushback effort in the 2nd period and a good win but this type of effort and play will not cut it against good to decent teams, especially in the playoffs. And is it just me or were 2 of the 3 Kingston goals fairly 'soft'? BB30 doesn't seem to be tracking the puck as well as he did mid-season. Fatigued maybe? I hope he gets back to dominance soon. Now let's get 2 points in Flint.

Another slow start ….the second period…… we saw the Knights that we are accustomed too….outshot 12-5 in the third isn’t going to win games in the playoffs ….Best game Ryan Winterton has played as a Knight …. Mailloux was a force….. Brochu made some great saves and a couple goals he definitely would like back ………but we got the 2 points ….. Flint up next and I’m hoping Bowen brings his A game ….Knights need to work on the PP…..if we’re going to advance out of the first round…..we used to own the face off circle …. not so much lately…

This was a cool made in London something they could call there own but yeah for whatever reason people weren't ready for change.. I think it had more to do with the stupid Nashville like chant then the song.

Also punt Sweet Caroline for the third period break. Maybe London calling would be a good replacement,,,

Please please get rid of Sweet Caroline. Cowan is good but great with Barkey.

Top six
Cowan-Winterton-Barkey
McGurn-Diaco-Gazizov

Either line can be 1 or 2 but these are your playoff horses..

Agreed totally, n posted earlier. These are the horses up front you gotta tie the wagon to. A tough 3rd line to play against is also needed. Sim/McCue/Federkow etal.......

This team relies on TOs, quick transition, solid D. It's why they are so dangerous on the PK. Turn em over n attack.
They lack the dominant F(s) who can make up for mistakes or a poor game with a skill play or 2. To get over the probly more talented Sting/Spits rosters they need to play as a unit, limit chances and be opportunistic. Gotta dictate the pace of play, force them into your style or its trouble.

I thought Brochu was decent last night. First goal, Mailloux - if you are going to go out to block a shot commit to it otherwise you screen your goalie which is exactly what he did. Second goal tipped no chance really. Thrid goal meaningless.

This team seems to have lost confidence in themselves a bit. Hopefully the push back in the 2nd period last night gives them something to build on. Tightening up defensivley will be cruical in the next few games and into the playoffs.

If they can play some strong games the rest of the way out - win or lose - I still think they will be a factor in the Western Conference. I have no problem if they finish second as it is significantly better than where I thought they would finish after the first few games.
