London Knights 2023 - 24 Season Thread (Part 4)

It's official: 2 game suspension for edwards

 

[Holden Caufield]

Jackson Edward is making sure he will be well rested come playoffs atleast.

Doesn’t go more than a few weeks without taking some time off due to suspension. Glass half full view…

 

[BobHockey]

Someone needs to sit Edward down and tell him he has to get a handle of his anger first headbutt then throws his gloves at thr camera in a 5-0 game.... hate to see what he is going to do with the emotion of playoffs he seems unhinged atm needs to settle down and play hockey. Leave the tough guy stuff to Boultons and Lawerance

Very undisciplined player. All about him.

Agreed and team discipline seems to be an issue. I can’t remember a season with so many between the whistle shenanigans. Earlier comment from Otto about growing up is correct. Kids these days…

London win 4-3 in shootout against Ottawa

You have forwards with speed, you will beat London defence

 

[Otto]

Heck of a player that Cowan, but horrible at shootouts

Hopefully the coaching staff addresses this sooner rather than later. Although goaltending has been good

 

[Fergus31]

London’s defence is fine. You would beat any defence with speed. Problem is you’re only playing with Dickinson and three vets when Jackson takes his bi-weekly vacations.

 

[ohloutsider]

Don't really think there is much to worry about in London. 19 other teams would like to have these problems, ya know 106 game winning streak or whatever it is. Lol. Be safe.

No sir, not any defence

 

[Otto]

Knights have clinched home ice in the first round and have a magic number of 10 points to clinch the division

First two playoff games are Friday March 29th @7pm and Sunday March 31st @ 2pm

London is good but not perfect. It’s going to come down to London, Saginaw, or Soo for the OHL championship imo. Maybe a west bias but it’s hard to bet against those three teams after almost a 60 game sample.

I think 1st place REALLY matters! I’d take us against Sag in the play offs and I’d say Sag>SSM

First place has its importance but come with no guaranties

People are underrating Sudbury. They have the best line in the league and if their defense gels in time, they are a threat too. They are offensive juggernauts, physical and gave the best line in the league.

No goaltending, one line teams don't win, and road record

True, but Sudbury has depth (Musty, Dvorsky, Goyette, Delic, Villeneuve, Giroux, and McCallum) they just haven’t figured it out yet. But good point on the goaltending.

I still put Sudbury on par with Saginaw, as I don’t have as goaltending also seems to be their weakness.

i think he would be more effective if he came into the zone much faster.

 

[nelli27]

Not official but division is all but clinched. If Kitchener goes 10-0 to end the season, we'd just have to go 4-7 in our remaining 11 games to clinch. So, we enter the playoffs as the 1st or 2nd seed in the West....or so it seems.

If the Knights win on Wednesday and win in regulation on Friday they will only need 1 point after that to clinch the division

 

[ReLyT]

Thats good .... right there;

 

[Buttsy]

It’s often forgotten how much of a scorer our man Dale (and Mark) was throughout his career. Dale could snipe with the best of them and then kick the crap out of a guy in a good old fashion throw-down! And of course sneaking up from behind a guy after he had scored a goal to lay a smack on him was a bit of a specialty! However couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy …. will always remember Piestany (sp?) and weasel boy who conveniently forgot where the door to the bench was.

 

[purple pharrt]

Thats good .... right there;

Reminds me of Putin's skating against fellow Russians.....everyone knew not to check him and the goalie didn't dare stop many of his shots on goal. Seriously, which of Simpson or Willmore is going to stop that shot, even if they could ??? You just don't make the coach look like his best days are behind him.

 

[superdee]

Look at how the team mobbed him. These kids love him and they are all in together as a unit.
