London Knights 2023-2024 Season Thread (Part 6)

[Boss Man Hughes]

The refs are just being normal tonight, they call penalties as usual, what else is new, we are very deserving of the 2 selfish ones against Bonk and Halttunen, Dickinson was questionable but took Beck went in with the dive. Good or bad calls, refs comes with the game

Irrelevant. It wasn't a push, it was a hit. Since it was a penalty embellishment shouldn't matter.

Dickinson game him a good push. Beck dropped like a sack of flour.

 

[zman77]

Nichol has been flying tonight.
Simpson is very focused. Big Saves.
Sim's goal was impressive. Very quick hands.

 

[Knights Watcher]

Not impressed with our struggles in the D Zone. Too many bodies out front. Too many missed chances to clear. Tying goal coming soon.
Where are our big guns? Cowan, Barkey, Julien, Haltsy? Do Friggin something.

 

[BobHockey]

Referees have inserted themselves in this game. Brutal

 

[swoopster]

You will never beat the Spirit if you insist on playing from the penalty box.

 

[Hendy]

We're getting owned in the face off circles...again.
Last game the Spirit won 42 of 63.

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

Spirit acting lijj oh e tge better team tonight but are down 4-3…. Knights need to play without fear these last 20. Step on their neck

 

[Fergus31]

Dominated 5-5 again. 4-3 going into 3rd but does not feel like it. Trusting Dale900 makes some adjustments.

 

[Fastpace]

They have got 2 on power plays, got to stay discipline and they'll take this game home with them

 

[BobHockey]

We're getting owned in the face off circles...again.

Yes, hard to attack when you are starting without the puck 2/3rds of the time.

 

[Knights Watcher]

We're getting owned in the face off circles...again.
Last game the Spirit won 42 of 63.

This is where a capable OA would have made a difference. With Lawrence out that falls on.... God help us.... MM39.

 

[crowncarrier]

Saginaw Floppers are embarrassing. Almost as embarrassing as the attendance.

 

[Fastpace]

Dominated 5-5 again. 4-3 going into 3rd but does not feel like it. Trusting Dale900 makes some adjustments.

They can dominate all they want as long they stay on the outside, Knights are outscoring them by going in on goal 3 to 1 on 5 on 5. Stay discipline keep the high tempo and make them chase you.

 

[Knights Watcher]

Can't play the entire 3rd in our end. Need to smarten up and clear the puck

 

[zman77]

McCue is playing great!!
O'Reilly has been playing at a high level.

 

[Knights Watcher]

McCue is playing great!!

I beg to differ. He's a waste of a roster spot.

So far this game
Barkey D-
Cowan D-
Julien F
Haltsy F

 

[zman77]

I beg to differ. He's a waste of a roster spot.

I beg to differ KW.
Say that to Dale and Mark and they'll laugh in your face!!

 

[Knights Watcher]

My opinion but I'm not a fan. He's a role player not a 1st liner.

 

[zman77]

If you played any hockey, you'd know that Max is one guy that every team loves to have,
and the opposition hate to play against.
Simpson is on fire tonight!!

 

[Knights Watcher]

If you played any hockey, you'd know that Max is one guy that every team loves to have,

I wish another team had him. Tell me, what has he done this series? Scored a timely goal? Nope. Won a critical faceoff? Nope.

Have to admit. Nice play by McCue there.
See what I did there? Reverse psychology!

 

[zman77]

I wish another team had him. Tell me, what has he done this series? Scored a timely goal? Nope. Won a critical faceoff? Nope.

lol......................19 Teams in the O would love to have Max on their team.
If he's as bad as you say he is, then why does Dale keep putting him out in critical situations?
5th Goal:
Great Play by McCue to Easton Cowan.
Cowan has been outstanding this evening.

 

[Fastpace]

Sam O'Reilly 2 goals 2 assist help the Knights win the pivotal game, a 7-3 win over Saginaw and a 3 to 1 seriess lead

This is one of many reasons O'Reilly will be pick in the first round of this year's NHL draft

A total team effort tonight by all members of this team, even all the ones that did not play but cheer them on.

 

[HockeyPops]

Great game by Simpson. He never let Saginaw get that tying goal. They chased the entire game.

How is S. Boulton still playing hockey in the OHL. Progressive discipline is broken.

 

[nelli27]

What would you call that?
Rope-a-dope hockey.
Who cares?
It's a win.
Welcome back Edward.
Goodbye S. Boulton.
Lawrence returns Friday night...
