Doesn't make a difference.. by that logic the Rangers and Storm are afraid of London... they are not. Nobody is afraid of London and London isn't afraid of anyone. You don't get to this level of hockey by being afraid

Willmore starts... No one consulted me, but that would be my choice too.
Smart choice considering the Sting are playing with three regular d-men, a guy who's played one OHL game, and a forward on our back end tonight. I'd be surprised if you guys don't put 10 on us tonight

No disrespect intended. Simpson hasn't been sharp lately, and Willmore a capable backup.

Hilarious watching Letang giving it to the refs when his players are gooning it up

My father hung me on a hook once....once.
Are teams able to fight (pardon the pun) a fighting major call and have it brought down to Fight-Inst Upon MAJOR 5:00? Hall clearly instigated the fight on McCue but there was no call. With suspensions being part of having too many fights is this this review able?

No d
No disrespect, the Knights has not been sharpe defensively as a team, just like this Wainwright goal just now. 6-1 London

Another spirited tilt from McCue. Hopefully this win tonight helps get them back on track and rolling again.

How Hall doesn’t get the instigator is beyond me. He threw 3-4 punches before McCue even had his gloves off.
I know this is a developmental league for both players and refs but there needs to be a level of consistency with the officials and we have not seen that in the past couple months.
Knights/Saginaw remaining schedule look similar. Both teams play in Erie. If Knights can stay even till last game...Saginaw is at the Soo...London at home to Guelph.

This couldn’t be more inaccurate. Dickinson’s main issue (and scouts confirm this) is his decision making with passes, not pinching. And he is NOTHING like Bouchard. Bouchard was basically a 4th forward out there who was actually terrible in his own end. That’s a huge slight to compare Dickinson to Bouchard as a defenceman. Their success may be comparable, but that’s where the comparison ends.

Agreed, Bouchard was the better offensive player all around by a slim margin. Dickinson is a far better skater and defensive player by a WIDE margin.
Parekh reminds me a lot of Bouchard, mediocre defensive game with top notch offensive instincts and skill. But tends to fold and play a shy game when the game gets physical.
Dickinson reminds me more of Pietrangelo in his Niagara days.. very good offensively but very defensively responsible and plays with an above average physicality level.

This may be a developmental league, but Sean Reid has reffed over 1000 OHL games...no excuse for him not calling the instigator other than he was scared to give London another PP while dominating the game and being up 4-0.
There is a reason why he has reffed over 1000 OHL games, because he has never been good enough to stick at a higher level plain and simple.
Reid was also the official this season during the Kingston/Soo game when the Soo scored the tying goal with 6 players on the ice for almost 20 seconds with the goalie in the net. The guy is a joke and should barely be allowed to ref Peewee's.

When comparing Dickinson to Bouchard you need to compare them at the same age. Dickinson is well ahead of Bouchard both offensively and defensively at age 17

More Will'more' please! Throw him back in today. During last night's broadcast, Doyle mentioned that Simpson struggled in net for Peterborough last season, losing something like 7 of his last 8 home games before going on a tear in the post-season.

He has been over worked. No need to go back to back with Willmore but they need to manage Simpsons minutes down the stretch.

Is that because they are appealing it or was the suspension dropped? Never should have counted as a fight as the Sarnia player clearly instigated it.
