London Knights 2023 - 24 Season Thread (Part 4)

[Fastpace]

I mean they were playing WAY over their heads the whole year and at margins that weren’t sustainable. This is probably closer to what they really are than what they were in November.

They've peaked a little too soon, is all this is, it's a good thing for them it's happening in early February and not in March just before playoffs. It's like speeding on the highway and have a blowout 50 miles before arriving, still have time to fix the tire and be on your way again and still makeup time. They do have two great lines but are young and weaker on the bottom two, need four strong lines six Ds and two above average goalies to get mileage in playoffs though, I don't know if they have that this year, but wait until next season, I have no doubts this team will be untouchable.

where has

Kaeden Johnston been​

I think Hunter has opted for toughness (Boultons) over the more skilled K. Johnston.

I hope Boulton makes his presence known very soon the Gens are taking to many liberties with Cowan

 

[Fastpace]

First period penalties in Oshawa against the Knights were good calls or deserving, however there were some missed calls on the other side unfortunately, play on, this game must be played, as most other games without any help from the stripes

 

[Fastpace]

I am expecting the Soo coming back from their 0-2 behind first period to beat Saginaw in their game

Knights P.K didn't show up. Bound to lose in regulation eventually but p.k needs to be worked on

Um...aren't they the best pk in the league? Not that they can't always improve mind you.

Allowed 2 pp goals today, still can improve imo

 

[Knightsfan90]

Wow Halttunen!!!!! they really stepped up in the third

 

[Fastpace]

A London three goals come from behind win in overtime over Oshawa

 

[ArielNederland]

Nice comeback win

 

[nelli27]

21-0-0-2 Ridiculous!
Certainly not one of our better games.
Officiating was horrendous going both ways. Don't take my word for it, Gens play by play guy (Mike Luck) in agreement.
Halttunen on a mission.
Dickinson is actually human after all. Turned the puck over a few times... Ah, he's still my favourite player.
Cowan extends point streak to 21 games, tops in the O.

?? Just because they won doesn't mean there aren't areas that need to be worked on.

You stuck a fork in them, again.

Pointing out areas that could use improvement isn't " sticking a fork in them". Afraid of constructed criticism? I posted that before they started the comeback. Can't see the future unfortunately

 

[Drop the Puck]

Wow, just wow!


Well done LK

You Do this a lot. You give up on the team and they come back and win. Game is minimum 60 minutes

 

[purple pharrt]

Personally, I often find blowouts to be somewhat boring and interesting only because the 3rd & 4th line players get ice time. Games like today are much more exciting, seeing how this team manages to get a win, when down going into the 3rd period.. eventually this streak will come to an end, but having the occasional game where the outcome is in doubt are far more entertaining.

Like I said.

 

[Fastpace]

With my Lions out, I no longer had any interest in Super-Ball Sunday.

I've decided to rewatch the Knights/Generals game in its entirety. I did not think London could outdo the Owen Sound come back, I was wrong. They have had a couple third period five goals outing this season, but this third period comeback in Oshawa was a complete dominance, and their best third period of hockey this season, the Generals is a very good team too

Double checked the numbers and London has officially clinched with 79 points
Windsor cannot catch us.
If Sarnia wins out they can get to 79.
If Flint wins out they can get to 82.
However they play each other 4 more times.
If Sarnia wins all of those games in OT(maximum points for both), Flint can only get to 78.
Not that it was ever really in doubt but it’s official now.

You need 1 more point to clinch. Flint can tie you at 79 points and a 1 game playoff would be required to determine 8th. Now this is all a mute point because we all know they will clinch.
