Congrats to Paige Martin! Just saw the article on the OHL site about her getting a gig with the Oilers. Was always impressed with her on London's broadcasts, easily the best in that role of any teams broadcasts in the league for my money. Just seemed to have a different level of professionalism in how it all sounded; no disrespect to guys like Sean Furfarro, but they feel a bit more corny local fare (which I also appreciate).

Oh good... another unprepared broadcast team...

The NB broadcast duo is good and informed

And yet they were focusing on Sarnia catching London in the standings, which is meaningless, and said Sarnia is 6 back of London when its actually 8 behind both London and Windsor.

Edit:and they just doubled down on it during the out of town scoreboard

Another slow start.

Not sure what Dale was thinking playing brochu all three games. Team doesn't know how to play full 60 minutes.

He's trying to get him to first all-time on the wins list... moot point now.. after today they'll have 6 games left and he's 6 wins behind.

Yes congrats to Paige.
I thought the young lady in Sudbury was really good.

This is a dark rink to play in, I can see goalies losing sight of the puck once it get above eye level.

The Knights are panicking too much, they are trying too hard right now as things are not working for them. They need to settle down just a bit (or) I see Levin itching to get thet puck on his stick. If London score a goal Levin will the one scoring it.

They're just going through the motions, no sense of urgency.
The real Knights is the team that played. 700 hockey throughout much of the season, the team that showed up against the 67s, to use just one example.
Case in point... When we play to our potential, it's rare for the opposition to get breakaways and odd man rushes, and of late, we give them up with regularity. This isn't fun to watch.
NB has a very good team. More than deserve the W.

One too many passes and a lot of attempted shots from the point.

Congratulations on your suspensions Cowan and Mailloux... dumbasses

Terrible weekend. Two losses where they are totally dominated and an unimpressive win over a lesser team. Not sure what’s going on but they look awful. Hopefully it’s just boredom waiting for the playoffs knowing second is the worse seed they will get

 

[Harley49]

Agree with the rest of the posters…….terrible game to watch …..hopefully they get back to normal with wins against Guelph… Kingston…. Flint ….. 3 winnable games…..

Didn't really watch the game soo... what did they do?

Mailloux slashed a North Bay player while he had a clear shot at the empty net. He missed the shot but another North Bay player scored. Some chirping took place during the celebration and Mailloux skated by an laid another slash. Cown then got into a fight and then Mailloux also got into a fight and got called for the instigator. Mailloux is suspended for sure (instigating with the game out of hand, second fight in a stoppage) Cowan is a possibility

The lack of scoring depth is starting to show at the worst possible time in the playoffs. I don't know how the wheels fell of that quick but this team is no longer fun to watch. I know there are people saying that they will be ready come playoff time but unfortunately you just can't flip a switch and magically start playing well whenever you feel like it. This slide has been slowly building since Valentine's day with slow starts, having to play catch-up from behind multiple games, horrible special teams and just some terrible hockey. The team is struggling from the crease on out and their deficiencies have been magnified greatly the last few weeks. I personally have little confidence that they will be able to turn it around in time to be playing decent hockey come playoff time.

 

[Fastpace]

Ah! Teenage frustration, always blaming the other team for their very own demise

I watched this game live, I could easily see by their body languages while warming up that this was not going to be their best game of the year. At least it was the whole team this time, it must be outside the rink or in the dressing room problem before game start, it has to be. It's not for their lack of talent or skill, we've all seen what they can do, it has to be mental prepareness, much the same to their powerplays I take it.

 

[ArielNederland]

So not only did we lose the game, but also have 2 potential suspensions! The only good thing that might come out of this is hopefully levin and nicholl get more ice time

Knights lost 6 in a row around this time last season.

This is after the fact comment, it would be non existent had the Knights won this game.

 

[ohloutsider]

Knights lost 6 in a row around this time last season.

That was a direct result of the Brochu injury.

And they were tossed in the 1st Rd of the playoffs. History repeating itself?
