So much for catching the 14/15 Colts

Standard 2 for the slew foot. Don't think he meant it but it was there and ya gotta pay the price.

Should receive 20 with his history this year alone, disgusting.

Sawyer Boulton is doing his job so well he not only live rent free in the heads of opposing teams and their fans but also OHL officials.

The Knights will be wise to scratch him until the playoffs so they not the OHL choose when to deploy him.

Yes, he's a liability on the ice. You should check out his plus/minus as a member of a powerhouse team! Most of us don't want him in the lineup. We can ice a much better 4th line with him watching from the pressbox.

 

[DWI Dale]

here's a prediction, Boulton injures one of an opposing teams top players in the first two rounds and the league does nothing because it's more concerned with social media threats than dangerous plays.

The lineup will take care of itself come POs.
I do like the conversation it stirs up though
And no I don't wanna see players injured.

Not for that play. They made the right call on ice at its an auto suspension length I think (could be wrong)

 

[Fergus31]

Roll three lines in the playoffs. Fourth line is weak with or without Sawyer. Depth upgrade would have been nice for line four at the deadline. Oh well.

Possible scenario:
It appears (not official) as though the Soo will have the 3rd seed entering the playoffs. Their final game is at home against Saginaw, a team whose final game will likely/could be meaningful with 1st in the Western Conference (possibly) at stake. With a 3rd seed carved in stone, the Soo could decide to rest some key players paving the way for an easy 2 points for Saginaw and giving them 1st overall.
I know this is just one possible scenario, and that it presupposes both London and Saginaw will win all of their remaining games prior to the Saginaw/Soo showdown in game 68...

I wouldn't exactly be giving 2 free points to Saginaw only because Soo would be resting players, how many times have we seen a bottom team beating a top team? Saginaw are keeping up with London, yes, even winning they sure have not been playing really well at all their last half dozen games either

From a Rangers fan perspective I would much rather play Saginaw in the second round simply because the Knights have had their number for most of the last 15ish plus years.

Pipe down troll go back under your bridge !!!

go cry about it my guess you don't make it out of round one!

Soo Fans are unhinged LOL
I'm sure if anyone took liberty with Cowboy there would be 12 other players lining up to defend him

You will likely get your wish. Even if Knights win remaining 3 games, they need Saginaw to lose a point in their last 4 to finish 1st. Saginaw has the tiebreaker.

I'm thinking Saginaw is more likely to finish first at this stage as well, but Saginaw has the game against the Soo at the end of the season and then both teams have a pretty "easy" other 3 games I would say. I think there is a good chance it comes down to that final day before we know who gets first.

 

[imarriedawitch]

I was expecting a five game suspension for Boulton only because I thought that was the standard. Maybe next time.

jokes aside, please don't associate the rest of us soo fans with that guy - aka HF92 on the forum. he is absolutely an unhinged homer and can't even get along with other hounds fans.

we might not!

Agreed...problem for the Knights is the Soo will likely rest players in that game, as they are pretty well locked into 3rd.

I'm no professional, but they maybe should step away from an entertainment choice that causes them so much angst lol.
Yeah Bolton has crossed the line (and paid the price dished out) And he deserved it
I can't only blame the kid....he was offered a contract and PT and continues to get it ( very sparingly in games, none when healthy scratched or suspended)
London hasn't listened a player like this in a while, but it's got everyone wound up lol.
There is a reason the team staff feels he needs to dress. But we won't ever discuss that intelligently on a forum like this.
It's just one more reason gor opponents fans yo rail against the dark side and another whipping boy for LK fans. He obviously hasn't hurt hiems team much as they are in dogfight gor 1st overall.
No i font condone trying to injure players. Just fun to watch heads explode.

I saw some pretty good hacks n whacks last night with sticks also on both sides but not a mention......hhhhmmmm

Erie has helped us out with a win!

Saginaw on their way to losing tonight

Thank you erie!!

 

[Fastpace]

There it is, it was a rough game, a 5-4 Erie win over Saginaw

The Spirits have had their problems too lately

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

This is HUGE!!!!

Back in the drivers seat…. Saginaw folded like a lawn chair when pushed physically. Big pinch error at the end by Perekh….

Even with help from the stripes Sagy can’t make the points.
