London Knights 2023 - 24 Season Thread (Part 4)

[Ken Yates]

Petes looked brutal..no question worst junior team we have seen in here this year. They could not advance puck out of their own end in most cases Knights were first on the puck on dump ins. We did not finish plays well and shot wide often. Goalie played well but nothing spectacular. Several knight forwards were not into the game which i guess can happen after a big showdown with the Rangers. Not a fan of Boultons playing together.

Unlike most posters here, London dominated that game, Pete’s were lucky to grab a point let alone two!

Their goalie was unreal and stole the game, shit happens. We are number #one

My problem is the standard for interference! Since when can you set a pick for your d partner to get away VERY boring watching picks get set all night long. But we had the two biggest clowns out there in Alex Ross and Joe Monette. Absolutely clown show!!!

I am one of those posters you are referring about

And yes, London did dominate against a young and inexperienced team
Yes, they were very lucky to have come out with only one point
And yes their goalie was awesome in net and did steal the game in his favour, no doubt

And could London have done better, yes. London did not approach and played this game as the top team they are, or the way they played Kitchener and Saginaw lately. They went through the motion as a top team against a much inferior opponent, but did not play this game as a team wanting to beat an opponent on the scoreboard. They could have done a whole lot better in their overall effort and performance, despite their 48 shots on net. London's urgency in their motivation was practically non-existent last night, even with their dominance of the game

but did not play this game as a team wanting to beat an opponent on the scoreboard.

I hope the league cracks down on this type of behaviour.

Let's hope are seeing more hustle with quality shots, rather than quantity from everywhere tonight against the Otters

Last night is no one wanted to be in front of the net to screen the goalie. When a goalie is that hot and can stop everything he see’s, you take shots that he can’t see.

 

[ArielNederland]

Not a good start. Off their game.

Pull willmore. I dont know if they just assume their opponents will be easy or what but something isn't working

 

[7Wacked]

Sounds like the boys haven't got off the bus yet.

Bad weekend

 

[Otto]

I'd gladly take 2 Knights losses this weekend if it means a Detroit Lions win

You can't honestly tell me that anyone would take this guy over Greg Sloan

Go Lions, yes

I got the feeling London will come back in this one.

Well the terrible video award definitely goes to Erie.
Hopefully the boys pick away at the lead a bit this period.

It looks like one of those animated flip books

Teams are going to be playing their junior B call up goalies every game against London going forward

I was just about to post the same thing. The secret is out: put in a Jr. B goalie.
I'll take London wins over a Detroit Lions win... I don't like basketball.

Am I the only one who thinks those grey Erie jerseys are too light of a grey?? There have been a couple passes that have gone directly to an Erie player by accident.

 

[HockeyPops]

If its wasn't for the helmets I might be inclined to agree

 

[ArielNederland]

Another L in the shootout. Regardless if we won or lost, shootouts should be scrapped and go with o.t.

 

[HockeyPops]

I liked the tie. Why do we need a coin flip in the regular season?

3 on 3 for 10 minutes.

 

[Fastpace]

A 5-4 shootout loss to Erie

A much better effort and game than last night, but with the same outcome
Our defence played exhausted tonight, Jackson Edward will be a welcome back on Tuesday night against Kitchener

I noticed that too. Confusing choice of a uni for sure.

 

[Knights Watcher]

An utterly embarrassing and pathetic weekend.
Lose to two teams at the bottom of their division.
Lose to two inexperienced goalies that have never won a game.
They thought they could just mail it in and win both games. Lucky they salvaged 2 points. I hope this is not a sign of things to come.
Play like this against a motivated Kitchener team and they'll get their a$$es handed to them.

16 game point streak is not nothing
