London Knights 2022-23 Season Thread (Part 6)

[robp1219]

Certain players are really just SOS(pm me for the definition if you don't know) when it comes to standing up for themselves. At least little pricks like Marchand and Tkachuk will answer the bell

I hated Tkachuk when he played for London because he would always do stuff like that, play on the edge, cross the line at times and chirp Constantly but would never answer the bell. I like him a lot better now that he answers the bell when he crosses the line.

Well, the Knights have proven to themselves, that they can hold their own against the Sting, as evidenced by their series lead. Here's where the coaching experience kicks in and becomes an advantage. Dale900 with assistants have that in spades. They know how to get the max out of their line-up, even if their players are giving away years in experience level.

Case in point: Cowan & Dickenson are first year players experiencing their very first playoffs at this level. Is there any one player on the Sting roster who you'd trade either one for ?

I'd suggest that both of those players have out performed plenty of guys wearing Sting colours.
Looking forward, they're both gaining a wealth of experience that'll be returning next season, along with Barkey, Bonk, Bowen, Julian, George, and others who'll be part of the returning core. Some of these guys might even experience a "growth spurt" and return taller & heavier.

I remain optimistic about the outcome of this series, but couldn't resist a look forward to what next season might bring.....given the attrition rate of those teams who "loaded up" for this season, and the players they'll lose to graduation.

Re: the Pastujov hit. Certainly looks like a blindside check to the head. I hope he doesn't accidentally get blindsided next game.

 

[rve24]

Exactly what I thought live. I stick by it's bush league to giggle away while ur teammates step up for you. Not surprised. Not really upset with the shot, I get it.
And yes London has had that type player in the past. Not a fan.
If he is on thou he helps his team large. Hopefully he is to worried about keeping his head on a swivel, not going to the net or engaging than effecting game 6 in a positive way.

 

[Rangers2022]

I was really glad to see the young man Bowen have a great game.
He was put in a tough spot.
Hopefully Brochu is not going to have this injury issue for the rest
of his career

 

[Knightsfan90]

Ya giggling and letting other guys stand up for you is kinda dumb. But at the end of the day he threw a body check to the shoulder on a guy who had the puck. He or his teammates shouldn’t have had to stick up for him, that play is part of the game, don’t Ike getting hit pick a different sport.

He hit him from the blindside that is called "blindsiding " was a dangerous hit then to clown and laugh while other do the heavy lifting shows the type of player past is if he wants to make the next level he will have to mature ALOT

Pedal to the metal means both ways, Sarnia big mistake last night their speed was concentrated only on offence resulting on Cowan and McGurn break aways and the 2 on 1 Gazizov goal and etc.

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

PS...you won't sit in a better seat in the rink

THIS IS SOLD

No free bus riders today, lets wrap it up boys !

Gotta find a way to slow down the Sting top Fs, take adv. and be opportunistic when Kyrou or the Fs take a chance or 2 early.
Business like approach and trust the system.

 

[Hendy]

Do it for Abbie #15.

 

[superdee]

I guess it doesn’t look good for first round pick to show up. I would have thought Mark and Rob would have gotten some sort of commitment from him, family and agent.

Why's that? Have you come across new information?

I would fully expect Moore to go and play in the USNDP it’s the best program for a US born player at 16/17…. He comes in his draft year or draft year +1

16 year old forwards need a lot of development and we have a super stacked team for 2023/24. He may not get top 6 minutes for the Knights and we can afford to wait till he is ready.

How is this logic worked for Mitch Marner, Robert Thomas, Corey Perry, Patrick Kane and etc?

The only American born player you mentioned was Kane and he was 17 when he joined the Knights and turned 18 2 months into the season and spent the previous 2 seasons in the USNTDP.

Was Max Jones our only USNDP pick to leave the programme after 1 year?

One of these things is not like the others.

Are we not talking about Moore, the site are saying he's Canadian from Mississauga, I must be missing something !

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

He is very much American. Hence the USNDP program that is for only the very best USA born players.

Dual Citizen

Practice got William Moore to Carnegie Hall — and to the top of the OHL draft boards

Talented Toronto Marlboros star is considered a top prospect for the league — unless the dual citizen opts for the U.S. NTDP instead.

Okay boys! No matter what the Knights will play more hockey after todays game, but after today the trophy room may need a renovation!

Go Knights Go!!!!!

 

[WarriorofTime]

I think London likely wins the OHL this year. But memorial cup may be tricky this year.
