London Knights 2023-2024 Season Thread (Part 8)

I doubt he embellished. Parekh has been injured a few times. Might have been concussion issues.

If it's conky issues and he isn't embellishing he should sit the rest of the game as per protocols.

 

[ArielNederland]

Don't really see how they win unless they really start pushing back. But with how saginaw is playing, don't see it

Parekh will be back, it's only an elbow to the chin

Perfect.. right on que...

 

[All the Answers]

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Feel it was embellished, but that's 5 and a game every time with how heads are being protected and not a hockey play by Sim.

If London holds this to just 1 ppg against for the remainder of the 5 min the Sim vs Parekh tradeoff clearly favours London.

Not sure how many else saw it, but the clear charge into the corner shortly before Saginaw's 1st goal was also a prime 5+game candidate had the hit landed. London has played on the edge all season, and on the razor's edge of going over... maybe step back a pace or two...

When wasthe last time London had one shot on net.

If it was a regular season game probably- not if it’s the M Cup final game. Coaches will prob just say keep your head up

 

[Otto]

That elbow couldn’t have landed on a more deserving player. See ya Parekh.

C'mon man, be better

 

[Fastpace]

You can not play a one game take all just like any other game. The Knights can come back, but first they have to kill what is left of the 5-minute major, and then pick up the pace, matching Saginaw will not be enough, they need to outperform them. Somehow I expected this start from the Knights, I have mentioned several times in my recent posts the last few days, it's just another game to the Knights

Nope, against protocols. It's teenagers and I'm very familiar with governing body rules here.
Coaches should not have a say at all actually. The good ones defer to staff with expertise.
If it's past conky issues as I responded to and he didn't embellish, he should sit. If not the coaches, trainers are negligent in their duty to protect kids.

 

[BobHockey]

Knights looked nervous at the start, settled in a bit but they need to get their legs moving.Forwards are not protecting their D as Saginaw enters. Clear elbow to the chin. Parekh should not be back in this game even if he wants to play.

Hunter needs to get someone on Beck ala Prust on Crosby. Beck has come to play.

Lots of game left but they need to kill this 5 minute major off and then get the hell to work.

 

[rve24]

C'mon man, be better

Absolutely. I'm not a fan of the players antics but don't want to see kids hurt, esp on a penalty.

 

[Otto]

Beck should have got a taunting penalty after the second goal

For those laughing, care to elaborate? We've seen penalties called for less recently?

You put a target on your back by spitting on players, crossing players in the face and diving.

You don’t want to see players seriously injured but he can’t run around doing what he does without repercussions.

 

[Budz]

Kill the the rest, gain momentum and get hunting.

 

[LDN]

Got a bad feeling

 

[rve24]

Parekh will be back, it's only an elbow to the chin

Boxers would disagree lol.
Actually the chin is a very dangerous spot to get popped.

 

[Matt93]

Shocker, Parekh is back. What a diver.

 

[Agent 53]

Shocker, Parekh is back. What a diver.

No bigger diva in the league.

 

[Otto]

Fake blood perhaps?

If he was near the London bench he probably would have. Don't want to see him doing that very much when he is playing for the Canadiens.

He was right in front of the London bench

 

[djscooter]

Was clearly Ketchup. Refs did not have the balls to taste it, the fix is in.

 

[dirty12]

Couldn’t agree more.
But after that cheap shot in a one off game such as this, it would be fitting if Bishop shatters Cowan’s ankle with a slash.

You don’t want to see players seriously injured but he can’t run around doing what he does without repercussions.

 

[BobHockey]

Can we win an FN faceoff?
