Yes Arrowsmith tangled with Spits prospect forward Nathame Gaymes,has played in 3 games with Windsor has 2 goals and 1 fight ,was a 15th round pick in 2022.
Both players Arrowsmith and Gaymes have bright futures imo
Will Arrowsmith/Fagan be similar to O’Reilly/Nicholl?

Tomorrow's game will not be easy, hard to motivate against a bottom team you have just beat 5 days earlier in their home rink, but it's a must for London. This will put pressure on Saginaw, causing them to either motivating more or gripping their sticks a little harder, Knights can not let up any
First place overall is easy motivation. Win tomorrow and they are 1 point or a Saginaw loss away

Friday game will be a cake-walk..Sunday game could be tuff.

It would be really great if the Knights could clinch before then. Then they can rest some guys on Sunday. It would be awesome for Guelph to slide into 5th and give Kitchener some fits the extra benefit of that would be an Erie/ Soo first round match up

Regarding Sawyer Bolton.....allow me to play Devil's Advocate here. My argument is distilled down to simple mathematics.
Let's assume that SB gets engaged in a fight 2-5-10 for a total of 17 minutes, 5 of which have to be killed off.
It's almost a given, that ANY player who got the 5 for fighting is numerically more important to their team, than is Sawyer.
Trade-off with virtually ANY opponent favours the Knights.
Trade-off is significantly enhanced, if his opponent happened to be key player in their offense.

His reputation does proceed him, and his on-ice presence does influence how those opposing players adapt. They tend to "keep their heads up" and are more concerned with avoiding hits, than creating offensive plays.

Now, what other player in the league with similar scoring stats, brings as much to a game ???
His pal Stewart is OS has triple the points in 20 more games

You could be right, and you can be right, but I am thinking a little of the opposite here.

Tomorrow's game is not of the winner takes all scenario, unfortunately, often the nature of young minds do lose focus and goes wondering, quite often the end goal or objective has the tendency of taking a backseat in the heat of actions,

Was on Kitchener site and they are bitching and moaning about Namesticov’s hit on Reid. When I watched the game on thought no call on the play was right. Go over there and watch video you think. Maybe we should post video of Sop cross check on Leonard that face planted him in boards from behind. No penalty called.

Or we can just leave fans of other teams alone in their own section when it doesn't pertain to London.

Better to let sleeping dogs lay. I don’t reply normally on other teams sites but find them quite hilarious sometimes. Especially Kitchener’s because of crap like that. One week they blame the coach and in reality Guelph flat out played them from drop of puck. They don’t want to play them in first round and we better be ready Sunday because they are a determined bunch.

Maybe this means Kasper Halttunen will be back in a Knights jersey next year. I would love him to be a top line player next year with Barkey and I love how he is forcing a shot or play less and less and trusting his teammates. He’s a decent passer too, but all we need to do is get him to back check harder.

Halttunen games overall game has improved. He has been handling the puck more being aggressive and making plays toward the net. Another year in Junior is required but Sharks may think AHL.

I'd like that, unfortunately, we might as well enjoy his playing this spring because this may be the only year we will see him play in a Knights uniform, his playing has moved up to a much higher level. and London do not hold his rights for next year

Go Knights. Favourite time of year with Cubs ball around the corner. This Knights team is well rounded. Hoping for a long playoff run. Agreed earlier about the Edward post.
