So cute

I'm kinda hoping that Sarnia mayor Mike Bradley puts in an appearance at Bud Gardens to take in a game. He'd be a great candidate for that celebrity look-alike feature they run on the scoreboard. As he has aged, he has taken a remarkable resemblance to Trump supporter Steve Bannon.

Who's TrumP?

Question for Knight fans regarding the Knights main camp. Do the Knights have a large number of players still when they hold this camp? I thought I read once they still did this recently. Just wondering because the Rangers seemed to have pared their camp down in recent years.

Thanks for the info Nelli. I thought I read that last year.

Not nearly as big as it used to be, but they do bring a good #.

Canadiens Mailloux Turning Heads In OHL Playoffs With Points

Montreal Canadiens prospect Logan Mailloux finished the 2022-23 regular season by leading all OHL defencemen in goal scoring, with 25 goals in just 59 games. He’s up to his old tricks in the playoffs and currently sits third in defencemen scoring, with four goals and six assists in nine games...

Does anyone here know where people with General Admission tickets can go and stand in Sarnia?

Anywhere on the concourse from the rail back, excluding in front of the restaurant. I’d imagine standing room will end up going at least 2 people deep. Be early.

All their teams and players are out for the season. Mailloux seem to be their only real prospect left, all their heads turns on him now. Watch for Montreal media put the magnify keyboard typing on this guy now. They have got nobody else to write about now

I am forking over $20 to watch this series online... I expect to be entertained.
If I end up doing paperwork on a Friday night instead, I will be lodging a complaint. Lol.

One key will be can LK keep their PP executing efficiently. Sarnia has a good PK. It'll be interesting to watch the ST battle.
On the flip side LK PK has a knack for creating opportunities with turnovers and flying the zone to create odd man rushes, including activating D.
Adjustments in game and game to game will be key for both sides.
I still feel Sarnia is a fav. here but it's why they play em out.

 

[Fastpace]

What London is good at is their constance speed on their opponents, what London is really bad at is their relaxing when playing with a lead and when their opponents start to push back. Lead or no lead London must keep the intensity level high and be conscientious not to allow their opponent any hope or a momentum switch for future game(s) in the series. This one is not going to be easy. Enjoy and Cheers!

The thing that has impressed me most about Mailloux in these playoffs is his improvement on defense. You can't argue the success he had offensively during the regular season, but his defense was suspect and at times very disappointing. While not all the way there just yet, I feel like his D has improved substantially, and he's really starting to use his big body to his advantage.

...and I can't talk about defense without giving a shout out to MacKinnon. All the Knights have tightened up defensively, buy none more so than Ethan. He's been a work horse these playoffs, especially since Edward went down. A month ago, I would've expected him to be dealt in the off-season, but now, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Knights hang on to him.....he has earned it!

Supposing the Knights lose this series, anyone disappointed in the season? What if they get swept?

Good question Otto. I posted weeks ago at seasons open I expected a 6 seed regular season so all this is gravy.

That said being said, getting swept would cause me some angst. The Knights are capable of more than that.

But no. No disappointment here.

In a vacuum, it’s successful. But if they don’t make a serious attempt at a cup run in 23/24 or 24/25, I feel like we’d ask why they didn’t go harder for it in 22/23.

Very successful season, how many thought they weren't going anywhere at the beginning

I don't think we could ask for any more!

The Hunters have potentially given this team a chance to compete for the Mem Cup this season (I think their chances are as good as any of the 4 teams remaining), while giving up very little and without jeopardizing our chances at being just as competitive again next season!

Not sure how anyone could be disappointed, especially when most of us considered this season to be a rebuild year!!!

A+
