LDN goes 5-2 vs SAG in the last month or whatever before tonights game and aren't CHL champions. I hate LDN but that doesn't sit well with me either. Just one of those years like Windsor bit ago.. Single elimination for the whole shebang isn't ideal. Hate to see it but I dunno you just gotta win it. At least the cup is back in the O. That was one of the best teams LDN has had IMO.

Dickinson was real good this whole season and at the M cup as well. Got the size, speed, strength, skill of the NHL level. I think he’s gone too.

Congrats on a helluva season. CHLs best team & I don't think many would argue. Unfortunately it's 1& done which is partly why it's such a great tournament. Your top 4 D were about as good as you'll see in junior. I'm sure this will fuel the core of the team for next yr like last year's defeat did.

not ideal but the way the tournament has always gone. they won’t change it.
Congratulations to You incredible London Knights fans from Vancouver BC as a former student of Mike Stubbs at Fanshawe College in London.
What a season and I’m sad Easton Cowan didn’t get his memorial cup championship. As a former OHL season ticket holder and as someone who has followed hockey the last 3 decades , this is one of the greatest teams I have ever witnessed in junior hockey .
Really sad London couldn’t get that 3rd Memorial Cup championship and I really feel for the hunters

Congratulations on a great season. Saginaw and London were two very good teams and not much separated them. London finished 2 points ahead in the regular season and got the benefit of a much easier second round matchup while Saginaw had a tough 7 game series. I think London and Saginaw could play a best of 99 series and it would go the distance.
All things being equal you guys are right back next season. Cheers

lol I dunno they played a best of 7 not too long ago and it didn't go the distance....
To be undefeated through the tournament, and lose 1 game, is pretty bogus.
Should need to lose twice at least in the tournament. Game 3 should be tomorrow.
Agree... Jr.B has a round robin then the two best teams play a series in the finals... or at least they use to....
They have absolutely nothing to be ashamed for, finishing first over all, winning the league top honor, and on to the final game of the Memorial Cup tourney and losing it in the final minute. They have every reason to walk out of there with their heads up, I just wish the direction to attack the one game takes all were somewhat different. We are really proud to every one of these boys, they had a monster season
Saginaw won 4 games to London's 3, Saginaw won, tourney over

Lets just put it this way, the Knights won 16 games to win the OHL championship and Saginaw won 4 to win the Memorial cup. If someone asked me which championship would you want the Knights to win and you can only pick 1 I say the one that we won!!! Its WAY HARDER to win and im proud of the boys!! 5 OHL championships in 20 years and 7 times in the finals in that time?? HELL YEAH!!! WE ARE SPOILED!!!!! Thank you and see you in 3 months!!

They both lost once? One played an extra game because they lost earlier?
So you get rewarded for losing earlier?
Not sour grapes - just a question.
They (League/refs) can review a hit, when no penalty is called on a play retroactively?

Saginaw deserved that win. London played very hesitant and seemed way too concerned with positioning. They didn’t want the puck the way Saginaw did and it showed. Saginaw was the hungrier and more aggressive team.
Eventually London found some will and darn near pulled a rabbit out of a hat at the end. That’s what can happen when you have that much talent! We saw it in game 3 against Oshawa…. 10 good minutes is sometimes all they need to show up for. But tonight it just wasn’t enough. Despite Dickinson playing like a man possessed for a few shifts and nearly putting the team on his back.
Hate the tournament format all you want, but Saginaw were the rightful Champions… given the format has been the same for a long time now.
London was the top Regular season team.
London bettered Saginaw head to head in the regular season.
London are the OHL champions
London beat Saginaw head to head in playoffs.
London beat Saginaw in round robin.
I don’t think anyone will claim Saginaw was the best team in the CHL this year. But tonight was finally their night. They played a heck of a game when they needed it the most.
Outstanding season for the Green and Gold. Another great team that will be fondly remembered for many years to come!

Inexplicable how London was unable to get any shots tonight. Literally halfway through the game and they had ONE (1) shot on net.
In a championship game? That’s embarrassing. Totally inexcusable.
The Saginaw goalie was God-awful and if London could have managed just 20 or 25 shots, they likely win this one comfortably in the 6-3 or 7-3 range.

One Selfish undisciplined play cost us the game tonight. How do you bring a player like that back? Doesn't learn from his mistakes and costs us. Cut ties with Mr Sim. Not worth an OA spot next season IMO
