London Knights 2023-2024 Season Thread (Part 6)

[nelli27]

Ya, I don't get TSN or any cable tv so considering I paid for the CHL package I'm hoping they pick up the feed or I will be looking for some donario back.

You're invited to my place as long as you bring a Capri pizza! I have beer.

Well I don't live in Windsor anymore but I can drive there to get one!

Stay off the Saginaw thread if you're just going to troll.

Win with pride and dignity it's easy to kick someone when they're down I like to think us knights fans have some class and respect for the opponent!

Opponent yes

Fans no

Why not appeal the Sim suspension? Try this out...
"With all due respect Mr. Commissioner, I had a teammate, Gazizov, ask me during a stoppage, 'Can you name one Russian metal band?', and I replied, 'p***y Riot, and regrettably the official only heard half of what I said... Honest, sir.'"

Dinocio didn’t want to be a tough guy all series and then he decided to try and act tough and go at Cowan in the handshake line when there was 2 linesman between them.

I could be wrong, but it looked like Cowan was asking him why he wouldn’t shake his hand. If I saw that correct, just adds to the really classy things we have seen from that organization this series.

Seventh OHL final appearance under Hunter ownership. Ninth championship series as a franchise.

 

[Finster8]

Congratulations on winning the series. No excuses you guys came up big when it counted. No more ass kissing but you better win the next series so we have a great chance of an OHL Team winning the Memorial Cup. Not to mention a chance for redemption

Grab an Arcata and a Capri for a taste test! Both on Dougall across the street from each other n near 401.

Thx... I like that you hate us, makes for a good rivalry!

Thx... I like that you hate us, makes for a good rivalry!

Unfortunately it's only a rivalry once every 3-4 years. If Sarnia doesn't trip over their own feet that is lmao.

Posted this on Saginaw board... If Branch is smart...he would want Knights in the Mem Cup... It then would be a sellout and There would be more Knights fans than Saginaw fans when the 2 teams meet in the tourney....

I noticed a Saginaw player was being restrained by an official and pushed away from the handshake line.
Couldn’t really tell why during the broadcast.
Fitting way for this series to end I guess.

Great performance today. Knights pretty much stuck to hockey and kept their focus. Cowan was dangerous out there. O’Reilly’s role keeps growing… Dale’s trust in him keeps getting stronger. George and Edward were outstanding on the backend !

 

[Knights Watcher]

Beck, Parekh and Dioncio are such little b!t¢he$.
Stay classy Spirit.

I believe Sportsnet showed all of the Q, O and DUB finals games last year.

Or TSN like stated above, good call!

I could have sworn the ohl finals were local broadcast for us last year.

 

[Fergus31]

I could have sworn the ohl finals were local broadcast for us last year.

It was TSN for games 3-6 with Marc Methot saying “Ethan” Cowan each game.

Does anyone have a link to the OHL describing the reasoning for the Sim and Lawrence suspensions? If what I’ve heard is true regarding Sim’s suspension, that seems very dumb.

 

[crowncarrier]

Cmon on now....Sawyer was a pick up
As was Simpson early on.....just like Diaco last year, early recognition of needs.
And Halt was signed up just before season.
All 3 played a role in this season, on differing levels lol.

Kasper Halttunen was drafted in the import draft in 2022 and signed last summer so I would not count that as an add.​

Edit, why was this post in bold....odd.

Yesssssssssss......hahahaha I remember that now.

Saginaw replaces Erie

Erie it's their fans I dislike more than the team

Where's Sarnia.....I'd sub Sarnia in for Owen Sound. And yes, Saginaw now replaces Erie for me after this season.

 

[Fastpace]

How powerful is this 2023-24 London Knights team?

They held the league second overall team, Saginaw, to only one victory in their very own buiding, that building where the Memorial Cup Tourney will be played in about 2 weeks

 

[OHLfan200]

Hopefully not somebody who loves you.

I hear it often as it's Patrick Wisdoms walkup song. Thankfully nobody has Sweet Caroline, I was at Fenway for three games last week and I was the only one in my seat for that song


Did you post this on the Soo board? That's where the biggest offender was from

That doesn’t surprise me. Hopefully some of these guys get banned, they’re making us all look bad.

London Knights head to OHL final after road win against Saginaw

London defeated the Spirit 4-2 Sunday to win the OHL Western Conference title in six games.

lfpress.com

The Knights wanted to add context to the circumstances surrounding Landon Sim’s five-game suspension for using a word to imply Saginaw captain Braden Hache was a ‘soft’ player in the second period of Game 5 Friday.

OHL commissioner David Branch said Saturday Sim’s comment contravened the league’s diversity, maltreatment and bullying policy. However, London contends the Blues prospect was spurred by a Hache threat that went unpunished by the league.

“Hache said to Landon Sim that he was going to injure his shoulder and there’s history on that there,” Knights associate GM Rob Simpson said. “The last time Landon hurt his shoulder, it was Hache who actually hit him. He went to him and said I’m going to injure your shoulder again. Landon came back and said a word he shouldn’t have – implying (Hache) is soft and you’re not going to do that.”

The Knights contend Hache, whose father Conrad is the OHL’s referee-in-chief, went over to one of the officials and started talking to him right away about the incident.

“That’s how that unfolded,” Simpson said. “There was nothing racial (or homophobic) said. The word is part of the (OHL’s) policy and it gets said on the ice consistently and unfortunately. You have one player saying he’s going to attempt to injure another player and the other one using a word he shouldn’t that implies (Hache) is soft.

Serously, Hache did that? If so, what a slmy little weasel.

Yesssssssssss......hahahaha I remember that now.

He was an addition just before season started and most here were unsure if he would be here. ( if he was signed and gauranteed in the summer as you say i apologize but not my recollection)
Had to let pro camps play out, and then negotiate ( pro team, agent, Euro option.....) as he had options. Count it as you choose and I'll do the same

When was he signed up n rostered? Summer or fall?

EDIT......August. so a late addition in my books, my bad. It still needed to play out.
