London Knights 2023-24 Season Thread (Part 5)

[crowncarrier]

Kitchener would get Guelph if Guelph gets a point

Would love for that series to happen. Would be a good one to watch.

 

[LDN]

We absolutely NEED A W

 

[lord stanly]

3-0 sag already

 

[crowncarrier]

Would love for SSM to beat Saginaw so London can give most of the work load today to the 3rd and 4th line guys but Saginaw is up 3-0 with 8 min left in the 1st. Soo player Carlisle was just tossed receiving a 5 and a game for cross checking.

Edit; now 4-0

 

[Knights77]

Sault team is icing their B squad today and are down 4-0. All up to the Knights who will be without Sim and Gazizov. Time to step up fellas.

 

[Knights Watcher]

Is anyone playing net for the Soo today or did they pull the goalie at the start of the game

I see a jersey, but it may be a cardboard cutout. Not sure. I'll let you know when it's closer to me in thr 2nd

 

[Knights2729]

5-0 Saqinaw near the end of the Second, So did Soo dress a Double AA team today or what???

 

[Tryblot]

I just hope the game goes into overtime. I would love to see a Kitchener/Guelph first round with a London/Kitchener second round.

I wouldn't be so quick to write Guelph off in the playoffs

I'm not. It's just what I would love to see.

 

[Knightsfan90]

Saginaw just tossing SSM 8-2
We need a point today to get 1st

 

[Fastpace]

Now, Guelph is going to start opening up their offence, they don't want to get too far behind London, leaving their trap game open and making it easier for London Offence to move in

 

[Fastpace]

London may win against Guelph Storm, but will always lose against any of the homer referees from Guelph

 

[superdee]

Do the referees have to make it that obvious against Sawyer Bolton and the Knights? What a crock of shit! Kid gets high sticked and Stevie Wonder could have called the 4 minute call and then he gets a boarding call and Guelph gets away with a cross check. I get it they don’t like the kid but don’t make it so f***ing obvious!

Like it or not, Sawyer has done nothing to get the benefit of the doubt this year. High stick call was definitely missed, but that was a boarding or check from behind call all day. He has to also not make it so easy for the refs to put him in the box.

At least the ref whinning is consistent on every teams site lol. Tells me it's not as uneven or biased as some want to believe and use as a crutch.
Is what it is n they aren't great, but rarely decide games. But are an easy whinning point I guess.

 

[imarriedawitch]

I don't view the officiating as biased. Some are not very good but that isn't the same as biased.

I do agree with this but did you not see the guy he hit do the exact same thing one second prior.

 

[Fastpace]

3-0 for the champs season, awesome!

 

[ArielNederland]

We get top spot!! So we get flint. Sag gets owen sound. And your welcome otters fans

 

[nelli27]

WHAMMO!!!! Hamilton Spectator Trophy! 50 wins!
We're number one!...we're number one...and in almost every category.
1st overall; 1st GF; 1st GA; 1st PP; 1st SH; most 20 goal scorers (???? I think, with 9 players); even 1st in Penalty Minutes (the latter is no boast).
Cowan extends streak.
Simpson with the SO, #4.
Did you see what Hunter did with just under 7 min. to go in the 3rd and up 2-0? Our 4th line was out against the other team's top line with a faceoff in our own zone. He calls a timeout...smart move. I've been mentioning this maybe once, twice, or ten times this season as being a legitimate concern. And, Hunter's timeout shows that he shares my concern. Other than that, I have no concerns. I love this team! Checks all the important boxes.

I don't think they are consciously bias, I just think for the majority of them that live in and around Guelph, have families and friends to answers to when they go home

 

[superdee]

At least the Refs are consistent.....I mean c

Exactly my point. I get the penalty but hoe the f**k do four of them miss the high stick if they are filling the puck ffs! It wasn’t a good no call for sure.

 

[Fastpace]

I think Alec Leonard has to be the most improved player this season
