Learned something...I did not even know London had a Bunk or Diclinson on their team..

We've got a whole team full of players you've never heard of! Just keep reading, Fastpace will introduce you to them all eventually.

Dickskin is our best player!

Yikes never a good look for a young player. Was it his back last year in the playoffs as sadly he was a non factor for the London series? He can play with a bit of an edge is it catching up to him do you think? I like the kids game when he is healthy.

Unrelated injury. Was lower body in the playoffs. He scored 3 goals in the 4 game series and left early with injury in two of them, wouldn't call that a non factor. Injury is just a freak thing, wouldn't associate it with his play style.

No last year it was his wrist.
It happened just before the U18 tourney and he played thru it .

Wrist injury happened just prior to the playoffs(blocked shot I think), it was a lower body injury that took him out of the playoffs, though as you pointed out, it wasn't severe enough to keep him out of the U18 tournament.

Lower back or knee to the groin????

Lower back or knee to the groin????

I'm a telecommunications engineer by trade so totally not qualified to give a medical diagnosis but if I were to take a guess, groin injury.

 

[Millpond]

You are correct. That took him out of game 4 playoffs. It wasn't lower back

It still baffles me to see people wanting London to sell this year. Coming into the season many people had them ranked as a top team in the CHL. Everyone knows the skill is there. Obviously they haven't played up to the expectations to this point, but they are still 6th in the league standings, 3rd in PP%, 6th in PK%, 2nd in PIM. They have made multiple depth moves at zero cost to try guys that unfortunately haven't clicked. If they can just crack down on the dumb penalties and have a couple more guys step up to last years levels, I would not be shocked to see them 2nd in league points going into the playoffs. (Kitchener might be too far ahead at this point).

 

[OHL4Life]

Jack Beck went for a 2nd and 3rd but somehow OS fans think Goure will bring a star player… I think the conversation starts with a 2nd and 3rd OR Nichol and two 3rds

owen sound fans are saying they are not going to trade him to london because they could be better then london, you honestly didnt see that? i think all fan bases get their back up when london fans say 'i want that guy' without context or seeing that maybe that team is pretty good too.

Kitchener traded Roman Schmidt to Kingston for a second and a third, this can only mean they are loading the cupboards and going after a big player, my guess it will be Petes Owen Beck

could just be the fact they were heavy on OA and low on picks. Good chance they don't flip those at all...

An OA had to be dealt anyways and Schmidt (who randomly came back) would have got the most return. I don't think this indicates going for a big player.

Nope. It was a move they had to make. They have 4 OA’s and by moving him are down to the limit of 3.

Missing all our talent for tonights game makes these teams closer to even. Goaltending ,coaching and determination will decide winner tonight. O'Reilly and Nicholl's time to step up.

I thought O'Reilly was excellent against the Soo.

Boulton Suspended
Methinks we have seen the last of at least one of the Boulton bros.

On another note, Oliver Peer would look good in a Knights uni.
