Congrats on the Hamilton Spectator Trophy. A formidable team that really came together. Have to be the favourites for the league title.
I saw a less egregious version by a player already battling for the puck vs someone who came from a distance to do it... so... kinda yes?
Another solid season like last year when many were in panick mode early on both years.
Glad LDN wasn't in charge of trades
The Hunters continue to evolve and adapt to keep this team continuously competitive.
They have changed their model of acquiring talent over n over again as the landscape changes but they stay on the curve or ahead of it.
The pivots they have made as the recruiting game has changed is top notch.

Can you please post a link to the refs home locations? I looked after the last time you posted this and cannot find anything on where they live?

That's seven 50 win seasons for the Knights. I didn't check every team, but I think that's the most by a big Margin. Ottawa has 4, Windsor 3, Kitchener 2. Can't think of anyone else that would have more

Congrats to the Knights for finishing first in the regular season. They consistently surprised me all year long. Didn't think they had the scoring or the discipline but made a fool out of me.
I don't think we are scheduled to meet before the third round (except for unlikely scenario that Sag loses in the first round), so good luck in the first two rounds! You've earned this.

Congratulations on the season championship. A well balanced team on net, on D and O. Also have the toughness in the lineup to play it any way it comes. Good things should happen the the Knights this year.

Guelph is a good club. Would have been a top contender if Poitras were returned and if they had Allen for a full season.
London played a technically sound game. Really need Gaz and Sim if they have championship aspirations.

Gazizov in a walking boot in this video … hope it’s just being cautious and not a long term thing.

Pyette's article states that sim is expected to be ready for game 1. Knights brass don't think gazizovs is not too long term and it's better than what they thought. They will try to get him into skates sometime this week

I agree with Leonard assessment and put Gaz in the same boat. Gaz improved his all around game and was much better not talking stupid penalties..Now lets get Edward and Halttunen to do the same

Yes, and Julien too has taken huge strides (literally and figuratively).

Ah, you are making it difficult to choose now Nelli27, but you are right, so is Ken Yates

Just a random thought on MacKinnon, I know they announced he was out with injury for the year and stuff. But my random thought was, are they keeping him with the team because come playoffs the OA rule goes away or something? Taking the NHL Knights approach to LTIR and circumventing the "Cap".
I highly doubt that is actually how it would work and they keep him around because he's a great locker room guy and sucks he lost his final Jr. season. But would be funny to watch other fan bases explode if the Knights were allowed to dress 4 OA's lol.

I’m pretty sure he has fully retired and is part of the coaching staff so I don’t think he could suit up. He’s a massive par of this team still and the captain. No doubt

No chance, he's officially out of the team lineup ever since the overage deadline in January, unfortunately, Lawrence has been a super great addition for London
Class act by the Knights to honour MacKinnon with his OA jersey.

Of course, Lawrence has has been a great add.
I know it isn't a real scenario dressing Mac, but looking at the Knights roster on the OHL site, he is still listed as a roster player. So that's what got me thinking. But like I said, I know it's not a real scenario, just wishful thinking.
