[LDN]

Ok, I've seen the Knight celebrate with this song several times. They need to change their goal song to this.

This years song

 

[Fastpace]

Reid was in Oshawa refering their finals as well, only one call to Osh Luke Torrence for tripping, they play tough and they are disciplined

Throw back to when I first had season tics. Game has changed a bit.
Seemed an odd rivalry with so few games between them in that time but Ill never forget the Old Gardens and these teams minor dislike of each other lol.
I doubt we see the the same intensity n shenanigans.

And before ya get on LK being the problem ( which they were definitely a part Oshawa also had an uglier incident with Barrie in 99 or 2000. Sticks a swinging lol)
Glad that's outta the game but what a difference lol.

I'm over that tradition.

I can't see Punnett playing on that leg. Could barely move after the game after playing one shift.

Not sure what happened to #45. He's our most dynamic forward. Didn't dress tonight.

Wow. Blast from the past. Right after their 1999 championship push and last season of Tarry ownership. Barch, Chiarello, Kelly, Jancevski, Erskine. Lobb and Stathopoulos may have been rookies? Crazy era of junior hockey. Things are better now but those days were fun too.

Mild concussion for Sennecke. Should be back for game 1. Doctors just don't take chances anymore so they obviously rested him

Listen to the crowd, who said the fans don't like this, oh! I know who, he's going to retire in about three weeks

Definitely a good sign seeing him out there for the celebration, seemed to be in good spirits. I think they’ll likely have punnett dress for every game and be on the bench. His presence alone is a calming influence on the young D and if he can play the odd shift that’s a bonus. Played one shift tonight and had a huge shot block.

 

[dirty12]

People who are guessing london in 4 or 5 are vastly underestimating the generals

could very well happen, but those people guessing that 'with little to no trouble because the east is weak' are choosing to ignore that the gens went 1-0-1 vs London, 1-0 vs Saginaw, and 1-0 vs SSM post deadline.

Are the excuses coming out already?

Yup ! They are

What is it, does Oshawa feel entitled now, and want to by-pass the finals and go straight to the big M Cup tourney. Still have to drive through London to get there

 

[HUSH10]

Yup ! They are

what excuses? someone asked what Sennecke's injury was as to why he didn't dress tonight and I answered it.

Is this what it's like over here on this board?

One super fan probably does.
My statement was Oshawa, really the top half of the east was a lot stronger post deadline than some want to believe. Weak could be used to describe the west division post deadline.

 

[Leviathan899]

Agreed. Saginaw is perhaps slightly more skilled individually, but Oshawa is a pro style team. Their systems and structure can absolutely suffocate you when they’re sharp. Oshawa also has the most player in the series imo, Beckett Sennecke. Oshawa has a lot of what I’d call ‘direct skill’. London’s top 6 is going to pose a great challenge for the young D in Oshawa, but they’ve shown the ability to defend at a high level for long stretches. Limiting PP opportunities is the key in this series imo.

 

[Leviathan899]

Got no dog in the fight just what I believe from watching both teams. Would anyone really be surprised if London won in 5? I don’t think so

Both good teams, wouldn’t surprise me if either team won in 5. Oshawa this year was elite vs the west. Beat Saginaw both times, beat London, Erie, Kitchener and the Soo in their barns. O Ptbo also beat London in 6 after a ton of people saying similar things. Should be an amazing series either way.

I don’t think a single gens fan thinks they’re entitled to a free pass to the Mem cup hahaha why would anyone? They just posted the gens record vs the top west teams post deadline. The gens were successful overall vs the west this year.

They did not play any team from the west to reach this finals, did they. The season you are speaking of, is long gone, they are in a new season where they have not met a team from the west yet. Enjoy the rest of these playoffs

 

[Leviathan899]

After 2 series where LK faced little to adversity they got some in rd 3.
They played thru n won in 6. I gotta think they will be better for it moving forward as a team.
Perfect group......nope.
Entertaining......sure.


Not sure how I feel yet with some love, or at least tempered respect from opponents fans thou?????
Gotta keep the evil empire, LK is favoured, goon squad, Hunters own the league mantra n force strong lol.

You guys are the most respected/feared team in the league, by far. Every person who talks to me about OHL hockey, even those who don’t really follow it but are big hockey fans all think London is the cream of the crop in junior hockey, and they’re often correct. London is one of major reasons why the OHL is such a strong league, it raises the level of every other organization, and they have instant credibility among Americans who are considering the OHL. I’m an oshawa fan and I still really love London, but not for the next couple of weeks.

London always seems to struggle vs the East for some reason. This year they won 9 in reg lost 5 (reg and OT) and took 6 in OT. 6 of the 9 regulation wins came against bottom 4 teams in Barrie, Kingston and Niagara. Hopefully they fare better in this year’s Championship

London rarely misses out on the opportunity for 2 pts against the weaker teams. That is a big reason they finish 1st consisently

There are a few characters on here. Best just to ignore. Please don’t think we’re all bad. Enjoy the series. Should be a good one.
