London Knights 2023-2024 Season Thread (Part 8)

[Fastpace]

This game tonight, will be the Knight's true challenge of this tourney, even thought I picked the Worriers to finish third, this Moose Jaw team is a championship team and the type that can give London the most hardship, but most importantly it's a team like the Greyhounds. The middle games, are hard to get up for, they'll have to be at their max from the first face-off, they can't get too far behind, there will be no big 4 goals come back if they get too far behind against the Worriers. London should win by 2 goals, if they are up from start

Same group of 20 will be dressed.
Julien and Cowan switched lines (for now), is the only difference.

Moved Cowan to second line, interesting

 

[LDN]

SLOW

 

[ArielNederland]

Need to pick up pace. Maybe it's nerves, but they've been playing too much in their own zone

So slow! Need some speed burners

 

[LDN]

Lucky to come out of that one with the lead

 

[frontsfan67]

what a tournament Gazizov is having so far and nice shot by Dickinson. NHL teams will like that

 

[Fastpace]

Slow start, middle games are hard to get going, Dale used his fourth line and right after the Knights started to pick up their feet to take the 2-1 lead

Cowan is not himself

 

[ArielNederland]

Yea cowan seems off. Gotta keep the pedal to the metal. Don't give moose jaw any momentum

 

[jimbarrou]

They started off slow and gradually ramped up their intensity. Seen them do this all the time. We’ll be just fine.

 

[horner]

MJ top line is incredible

 

[ArielNederland]

Like the depth, it will be what will win the championship. Keep pressing

 

[Donnie740]

Not sure who that kid from Moose Jaw is, but he got destroyed by McCue in that fight.

 

[crowncarrier]

Now they are comparing Cowan to Auston Matthews....now I've heard it all.

Love mccue he will play in the NHL

 

[LDN]

Good W on to the next!

Who lol?

 

[crowncarrier]

Wow that was a close one. Warriors are a very good team.

 

[LDN]

Love mccue he will play in the NHL

He’s a solid role player. Brings a lot to the table

 

[Fastpace]

5-4 win over Moose Jaw

This game was not their best team effort. Dale will need to play his fourth line more and fit in once awhile, his extra defenders

Next game Saginaw, played like they did tonight they will lose that game

 

[Budz]

Simpson had a rough night…imo.

Sloppy with the puck, struggled even dumping it in at times. We got the brakes, it was a razor thin win margin.

They will need to play better.

 

[LDN]

Absolutely need to be better. Saginaw will bring their best. I say bring it to them physically. They’ll get rattled

Character and resiliancy is on display in a tight one goal game. It is not possible to blow out all opponents at this level. Can thay, and have they played better? Sure. But give the Warriors some credit, they pushed, but London stayed the course. Its what makes the games worth watching.

Having said that, I had to work tonight so Stubbsy kept me company. Did the 4th line get any ice time? I think I heard Nichols name a few times.

 

[crowncarrier]

I wish I lived closer to Saginaw.....you can get tickets for tomorrow's game on ticket master for $10. Tomorrow's nights game is going to be great and being able to pay $10 to watch that level of hockey is incredible.
