London Knights 2023 - 24 Season Thread (Part 4)

[tjziel]

London win 4-3 in shootout against Ottawa

You have forwards with speed, you will beat London defence

It’s not even that, the Knights do have their hands full with that for sure. It’s the forwards with speed and their D jumps into the play constantly creating odd man rushes against the Knights. Then the Knights are left standing still when the Knights D have handled the forwards down low, the opponents drop the puck back to the D and they are all alone against Simpson. That’s their Achilles

 

[LDN]

Is Landon Sim the glue?

 

[Knightsfan90]

This years team is very likeable

They are a very hard working team this is the most complete team we have seen in a while I think even more complete then last year!

It would appear London Knights will have a second round pick for Moore, according to the new revised Draft Database;

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.

Don’t sleep on north bay. Divinctiis is a monster when on his game and has been playing better lately. Sudbury doesn’t have the goaltending that’s why I say north bay

Could be wrong but believe the reason why they didn’t get the first was because they didn’t declare it defective in time

I think you are right, I thought they'd had lost it altogether, I didn't think they had any compensation coming back

Playing awful

 

[ohloutsider]

Playing awful

Maybe Oshawa is playing a strong game, so far.

 

[ArielNederland]

Some of the calls were... questionable to say the least.

* knights player and oshawa goalie bump into each other*
Guy in front of me - unacceptable! Goalie should be run over!

 

[ohloutsider]

London should take more penalties! They look better shorthanded! Lol.

 

[nelli27]

Oster outstanding.
Gens have the puck luck tonight, 2nd goal off George's stick, the PP goal off a deflection to a player parked to the side... empty cage.
First goal: 4th line on the ice.
Forwards snakebit.

 

[Knights Watcher]

Simpson not on his game tonight.

 

[crowncarrier]

Simpson, George, and Dickinson with awful games. Get this out of your system before playoffs.

 

[superdee]

Goalposts and Oester the difference. They tried to come back and overcome the bad breaks.

 

[Fastpace]

London lost 6-4 to Oshawa

Undisciplined game as well.

Can't allow the first goal within the first 5 minutes of a game,, it changes the mystification of game that makes put you behind your game plan. Can't score first, don't allow their first in the first 5 minute of a game

 

[LDN]

Well we gotta get our asses in gear here cause losing to the lowly Oshawa Generals is ridiculous!

 

[HUSH10]

That's the 5x Memorial Cup Champions lowly Oshawa Generals to you sir

 

[LDN]

That's the 5x Memorial Cup Champions lowly Oshawa Generals to you sir

For sure! No doubt about it. I’m just saying the expectation here and now is to remain in the top spot in the league and the Knights are not doing a good job of that

 

[Knightsfan90]

No just can't hit the net multiple open nets missed

 

[DCruickshank]

Wondering why Boulton was on the ice at the end.....

 

[HockeyPops]

Wondering why Boulton was on the ice at the end.....

...to complete the comeback?

The problem with this game wasn't the referee calls on the ice, it was likely in the dressingroom before the game. London started their first period against Oshawa the very same way they played their third period in Ottawa, it just carried over, it was a bad game mental start is all it was

 

[TheOrangePylon]

Wondering why Boulton was on the ice at the end.....

Because he’s a 4th line player and when the game is out of reach, coaches tend to put 4th line players on the ice … no different then any other team in the history of hockey.

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

Just my observation, the Knights had a great game last night! 5 posts/crossbars!

Pulling the goalie at 11:00 minutes and scoring two goals was so Dale!

Sometimes the bounces don’t go your way, don’t worry about it, Oshawa would be destroyed in a 7 game series.

Let’s go beat Kitchener again and feel all is right with the world.
