I think it has the makings of a Saginaw blowout, and Hunter will shut things down early, rest the stars, and hope for a game 7 home win... that's just the feeling I have.

Depth in today’s lineup isn’t what we are used to.
Need a big game from the top end guys to say the least . Let’s Go !

Keep the faith. Spirit will have the edge in shots and overall play but Simpson will come up huge in an OT win. There ya go.
Yup Barkey, Cowan etal need to lead the O.
I'd rotate top 6 players into the 3rd line and/or give #12 some shifts on line 1 n 2 depending on who is feeling it. . I'd also say F it and play the 4th line for energy but with a McC, Barkey n Cowan taking Johnstons spot.
I'd get the blender out looking for a spark and lean on the top 7 Fs to start.
I expect thou LK plays a defensive trap type system to hope for mistakes they can counter against but they need to finish when it happens.
Who wants to step up this afternoon? Simpson, the D or the F group. Need Simpson and one of the other 2 to have a shot.

I hope we jump on them quick, you don’t start the game with any carry over penalties from the last game. Score before the calls start coming!

I think that how this game and series go will depend on how the Knights adapt to the Friday Fiasco. Hunter is one of the best coaches and I am guessing he will emphasize the "us against the world" idea. It's always a thing with the Knights but even moreso after Friday night.
I think the team can pull together a bit easier in the Spirit's barn without the pressure of closing something out in front of 9K fans.
Play a solid road game using their speed. Need solid goaltending from Simpson, some offensive contribution from the D, stay out of the box but if they start getting lots of calls against, suck it up as expected and continue on.
If they unravel today like they did Friday night I believe the series will be over and not in their favour. My expectation is Dale will have them prepared.

Parekh is playing today, so obviously no injury after the Lawrence play (which is assumed, based on Parekh doing a hair flip when he got up). So does the make the Lawrence suspension even more excessive??
Not that they are the same play, but when he hit Motew, Motew didn’t play next and game was injured. Which usually adds a couple games.

Agreed Bob, Dale n staff have to get the kids focused and the leaders in the room gotta show by example. (I get McC mocking the diving out of frustration but it was excessive, not helpful and IMO distracting)
Better off having a wrecking ball shift played within the lines to get the group going.
Control what ya can, Saginaw is talented and also looking for help from the stripes. Let em if they feel they need. But don't buy into it.

Not sure what to expect today either. It sure felt like a train wreck after Friday night, but if any coach can get the boys focused it’s Dale. Let’s sit back and hopefully enjoy a great hockey game!

Knights will come out and play a totally different style game today. If Saginaw trys to play the same way as Friday and don't read the room correctly it will be over quickly for them .

SSM deserved to host
London Knights Kaleb Lawrence, Landon Sim given five-game suspensions
League commissioner David Branch explained the suspensions against Kaleb Lawrence and Landon Sim, ahead of Sunday's Knights-Saginaw game.lfpress.com
Wow now Branch is back tracking on diving saying ya they missed a few and a different person is looking after the officiating. Suspensions are handled by the commissioner and Vice president oh that happens to be his son (no conflict there). Branch certainly wants to go out with a bang. It has to be an embarrassment to have the host team go in through the back door, heck they can't even fill the arena for this series and still plenty of tickets left for the Memorial Cup. The arena has a seating capacity of 5500 and you haven't sold it out yet, way to go mister Branch I can imagine what the other CHL commissioners think of that. You compare this series to the NHL finals going on now and if called the same way there would always have someone in the box. Hey here is an idea, lets change a rule to flag hockey and if you flag gets taken on you have to fall to the ice to facilitate a hit. I have been following Junior hockey for over 42 years and this is one of the worst officiated playoffs (other series as well) I have ever witnessed. It's bad when I have a 9 year old sitting behind me asking his dad why was that a penalty and the father says I don't know only the Ref does. If a 9 year old can see it????

I thought that was the rule also but who knows lol.
I get looking at a play after the game that was missed, or a double minor or 5 reviewed in game.
I dunno lol.
Gotta play thru it.

Amazing you're allowed to hold players legs now.
Also Amazing, Bloom supposedly had his arm severed and is now playing with one arm.
Well... we know the refs didn't watch last night's game
SCORES!! COWAN!
Even if his leg was held it was after he was free that he kicked him. It doesn't faking matter whether Bloom was hurt. Could be a serious injury. Should have been kicked out.

Beautiful SHG by Cowan. Give him credit, he's a great PKer.
Looking like it'll be a close, good game. Not a huge fan of reffing so far but not awful either.

I watched the replay did Edward hit the player or the ice ?? I thinking the ice or he would have got a penalty….. Bloom should have got a penalty for holding

Bloom got up and skated back into play when he realized there was no call... glad you used the word "faking"
