London Knights 2022-23 Season Thread (Part 6)

Eddy gonna smash some bees

Balance attack. Each line has a gritty/hard nosed player

D looks well balanced also. Let’s give them our best shot!

Hope the boys play them physical and don’t give them anything easy.

5 prospects

Five Canadiens prospects set for CHL semifinals | Montréal Canadiens

The road to the Memorial Cup continues

My (big) mistake, they are all good prospects still playing ! I should have said Mailloux was the only serious prospect left with a history the media can write about.

 

[Fergus31]

Welp, not going to win taking 4 minors a period. Adjust, adjust!

 

[Otto]

I guess the best way to avoid penalties is to take cheap shots after the whistle

 

[Fastpace]

Dickinson !!! Wow, I want to see more of that. What a shot !!! Wooo.. hooo.. !!!

 

[Hendy]

And the Oscar goes to...
Pastujov!!

 

[Otto]

Mailloux needs to be smarter. They have obviously started to call the after the whistle garbage. Take a number and pick your spot

Time to take a page from Archie Bell & the Drells

BIG W

London did not play their best game of the series, Sarnia outplayed the Knights tonight, but Brochu outplayed Gaudreau by a mile. He was trully unbelievable, resulting to London taking a 1-0 series lead

 

[nelli27]

Excellent start to the series. Still would like to see more discipline, taking too many penalties. Brochu was solid, got a little help from Bonk. Dickinson such poise for a 16 yr old rookie. His PP goal was a beaut. Sting had a dominant first period but our stingy D held them at bay.

Hedon rating:
10/10

This is cute …. Gotta blame the refs

 

[ArielNederland]

Excellent game! Next game they need to stay disciplined! Also need to expect sarnia to come flying out of the gate in game 2

Lol such a cute take. If they’re talking about divers maybe look for Pastujov on the ice. He made more snow angels tonight than a kid home on a snow day.

Not blaming the refs lol. Calling them out for horrific consistency. How many times did guy take swings at each other after whistles & SAR got called both times. When do you ever see only a dive called? If your gonna call it once you best be consistent with it & they weren't.

Your 1 call early (can't remember which 1) was soft. They missed a hook by Del Mastro early as well.

 

[Purple Phart]

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

My expectation was simply getting to the 2nd round. That alone would have bettered last season's performance. Anything above and beyond that is pure gravy. ( Winning this 1st game of round 3 guarantees they will not get swept ).

 

[dmead]

bitching about refs is truly sad. boo the refs during the game, thats expected. but after the game... naw.

Do a Mike MacKenzie, get your coach to whine about refs in media.

Either play through the game as its called or dont bother leaving the dressing room. geez....

In the first period Gaudreau slashed a Knights player after the whistle, no call. Anderson took a swipe at a Knights player as he was skating off...also no call. Sting pushed the envelope and got burned.

First key to tonight's victory was coaching. Knights were outplayed badly in the first, Then on top of that they get scored on with 21 seconds left AND to top it all off they start the second shorthanded. They had to be demoralized. Great job on the coaching staff to regroup the team and getting them to focus.

Second key to victory was Brochu... WOW... he took things up to another level. What an amazing performance.

WHAMMO!

Ya lol. Ref whinning after a 4-1 adv in the 1st and an adv. in the game overall???????? Both teams took shots.
Sting players were looking for help, trying to get calls.........that speaks volumes to me.
Play thru it. The better team won tonight. Sarnias best players gotta step up 5 on 5.

 

[rve24]

Dive early and ya probly won't get the benefit of the doubt later on.

It worked so well for Kitchener.

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

It felt so good to be back in my seats last night. I was reserved to the fact I would be missing the entire playoff run this year as I didn't think they would get this far. A special shout out to

@rve24 @dmead @Rubbers29 and @Knighthawk for dropping by for a hello.

I probably shouldn't be walking on the foot...in fact I know I shouldn't...but I'm not missing the boys in the Conference Finals for anything

Sarnia's best player was the post behind Gaudreau

Great start to series…. Knights didn’t look good in the first period…. I thought maybe they had read all the newspaper articles about the Sting being the better team with superior talent…. nope they are beatable… the boys finally played like we know they can after their first goal and showed the Sting what they can expect in the upcoming games ….London has to stay away from the after whistle activities …the referee’s are what that are …... missed calls on both sides …. Brochu was our best player last night …. looking forward to Sunday …..
