I think for the “London Factor” of the GM of North Bay it would be cool to play them, but I think either team would be very tough and make a fun series

Congrats London!! Great coaching. Steady Defence. Balance scoring. Winterton, Barkey and George stepped up their game in this series. I give Bowen credit handling of the puck has improved and look forward to him maturing over the next two years. Fantastic Year!!
Yes, so many players contributed, but Im gonna point out one of the savviest pickups during the year, Alec Leonard. In and out of the lineup but he did nothing but play solid, smart defense when it was needed.

It was actually 2 but Im just splitting hairs. In long run, most Sting posters are,alright. Every board is the same in that regard, well, almost evrry board (cough, cough, end of 401). 😀
Yeah, you're right. It was 2 posters. Everyone else was fine.

Nice nod from Kitchener

I dont speak gibberish. What the hell does that mean? For the record, this is one reason why I truly dislike almost all Social Media. Trying to hard to appear cool, and failig miserably.
Bro….it’s good exposure for our team. These guys run the biggest hockey podcast. That’s huge… the boys are probably stoked to have RA and Grinelli there

Correct me if I am wrong here ! The last time London Knights had co-captains they won the Memorial Cup.
According this list that is correct.
Now I could be wrong, but I thought 19/20 Regula and Foudy were co-captains? Of course though, the 19/20 team never got a chance to chance the Memorial Cup.

Congrats to the Knights for winning the west. Best defensive team in the west all season. When you start watching stats as a season wears on I always look at the GA to see which teams are the stingiest. The Knights did this in spades and it made them a favourite to succeed going into the play offs. Brochu deserves credit for his performance but when you look at the big picture it was Dale Hunter and his staff that put the system in place. Defense plays a massive part in teams winning championships. Now back to the old fishing hole. I don't play golf. ;)

Nothing the matter with Marner, Kyle Dubas and Sheldon Keefe is what is the matter with the Leafs. They got great players on their roster but no players with Stanley Cup experience to surround them with to show how it's done, it's on the management and the coach . IMHO Ask Mark, I'll bet he knew that long ago

Grit, timely goals**London Knights to first OHL final since 2016​

Author of the article:
Mark Malone • Postmedia News

“We work as a team together, as a line together, to get it done,” Knights head coach Dale Hunter said. “All the lines had to play well and all six D and our goalie. It was more of a team game."
“One guy’s not going to take over the game and score three goals. We have to do it. Every line has to contribute.”

The Sting had three of the OHL’s top 15 regular-season scorers (Ty Voit, Sasha Pastujov and Luca Del Bel Belluz); the Knights had none. The Sting also had 50-goal sniper Nolan Burke.
The Knights held the Sting’s stars in check en route to their first Western Conference title since 2016.
The Sting managed a total of only five goals in their four losses.
“We had a tough time penetrating and getting second and third opportunities around the net,” Sting head coach Alan Letang said. “You give them the credit they deserve. They locked their D zone down and frustrated us a little bit and ended up coming out on top.”
