Knights didn't play their best tonight, were very nervous, but sometime it's good to be nervous.

That was a gutsy call by Dale to put Willmore in, his latest chess piece (a Knight) was the right move

Owen's slewfoot will not got unnoticed by the league this time, that is one of the most dangerous move in hockey.

Pack up your gears boys you have a bus to catch !!!

I am now waiting for comments of how our new goalie does not control rebounds or can't handle the puck or he got lucky & etc etc. ...

Willmore looked fine; composed.
Two 17 year old 'yutes' leading the way for the Knights (Cowan and Barkey).
Humphrey with the seeing-eye shot, and then the Belle River Bomber ices it for the Knights.
Othmann line had a lot of zone time vs the McCue line, but were kept off the board. Avon...really like this kid's game.
What's Peterborough thinking playing Spearing??? Even if he begged the coaches to play, common sense should prevail. His jaw is wired shut, and Federkow's hit possibly added to his recovery time.
Solid win tonight.
Fair to say that Beck gets at least a one-game suspension? That would be a tough loss for the Petes given his dominance at the dot, and his overall offensive play. He was also -3 or -4 on the night.
For those complaining about Diaco's lack of scoring, keep in mind that in this series Hunter had to tweak the lines to match the Petes' depth up front. That meant dropping Diaco to the 3rd line to play with less offensively gifted players.

Hedon rating: 10/10

Isnt a slewfoot an automatic 2 games?

Hopefully my pvr saved this game cause i need yo review that Robertson hit on Humphries. From my vantage point that was a heavy elbow to the head, but I want to review before I get riled up.

... and the helmet is now 6 for 6. He came out i retirement for this game. Desperate timez call for desperate measures. 😄

Not taking anything away from Willmore but tonight's game was much different. The knights were able to take away the passing lanes and keep the Pete's outside. Much better defensive game.

I agree, but you can tell the team played more relaxed in front of him.
