Some one correct me if I'm wrong but I believe saginaw has to lose one more game in order for London to get first?

Depends how London does tomorrow.

Knights lose in regulation they are still only 2 points up. Saginaw can go 1-2 and win the conference if the Knights go 0-3.

Saginaw has 3 games left... 2 of those are against non-playoff teams and the final game is against a team stuck in their position in the standings. Knights just need to worry about winning out.

 

[Slowpace]

Bottom line, Knights need 5 of possible 6 points and 1st place is theirs, regardless if Saginaw runs the table.

any word on Sim?

 

[Holden Caufield]

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.

Perekh has all the talent in the world. But he does some very undisciplined things at times. Both with positioning and penalties. I’ll take it.

Today's to-do list for the Knights:

1)Get the 'W'
2)Score SH goal to break the record
3)Cowan: extend point scoring streak to 34, breaking Knights record
4)Add to the '20 goal club' (Lawrence? Dickinson? O'Reilly?)
5)Stay healthy

I’d like us ri bring the physicality to him when we play them and have him get super frustrated

 

[Fastpace]

If the Knights lose anyone of the next three games, it will not be for lack of talent, it would be for game time readiness, they are in control

 

[LDN]

I expect us to bring our best today! Nothing less

Who is the highest scoring Knight .... probably Darryl Sittler? Excluding short term guys like John Tavares of course? Don't really count Patrick Kane as he came late and only 1 season.

Wilmore starts

Sim is out

I'd say probably Shanahan.. he's got over 1,300 points

I think it's Dave Simpson, if not I'd check Dennis Maruk or Patrick Kane

any word on Sim?

I am late to the party here obviously but he is out today. Guess the blatant spear to the groin that somehow went completely missed has left him tender with a nice bruise in the groin area....lovely.

Pretty sure he's talking about NHL

Without any certainty I will throw out some names...And there NHL totals.

Ciccarelli - 1200 pts
Maruk - 878 pts
Kane - 1271 pts, but might not count based on your criteria.
Marner - 630 pts and still going strong
Sittler - 1121 pts
Shanny - 1354 pts
Perry - 900 pts

7-4 win over Windsor

Not pretty, but, a win is a win, they out to know now Windsor is not going to be easy on Friday

oh wow, there goes the Memorial Cup

 

[7Wacked]

Not sure I saw McCue on the ice in the 3rd? Did I miss something?

34 games! Easton Cowan sets new London Knights point-streak record

WINDSOR – The London Knights beat the Windsor Spitfires in record-setting fashion on Sunday as Easton Cowan registered a point for the 34th consecutive game, breaking the Knights' franchise mark.

Our win against Soo last Friday was the key...Saginaw was not going to win their last 5. Two home games against a bad team and an average team looks positive. First overall will be huge although Knights are just as good on road as home. Special teams have been our reason for our success.

 

[lord stanly]

some former London knights record season 47-0

 

[Knights4ever]

I will take the match up of us playing Kitchener in the 2nd round vs the Sault. Both are tough teams, but have more confidence in playing them. Let's get the # 1 seed!
