Barkey isn’t doing too bad anymore

Player of the Week?

Player of the Week?

Money would have to be on Carson Rehkopf this week I think.

8 points (4G, 4A, +7) in 2 GP vs. Barkey’s 7 points (5G, 2A, +6) in 3 games.

I couldn't believe before the season begins all experts did not have Kitchener among top 16 team in the Os ranking. I commented on that, now we look at the standing and they are breathing up London's neck with 10 points to London 11 and they have a game in hand.

I think perhaps the Os at the deadline trades some of their experts as well for more competent ones

Also I have to mention the name Sam O"Reilly, he been very impressive these last three games this weekend. He's making his case as the second Easton Cowan in the Knights line-up.. Cheers

And often flips them for more than they invested Asset management.
Admittedly sometimes not, but all take the %.

The mold prototype grinders....unfortunately 99% of grinders have stone hands

Boultons are a waste of 2 cards. Doing a favour to an old Hunter friend

Their coach has been night and day better than the guy they had last year before Mike McKenzie took over for the playoffs. That’s been their biggest asset

Dont discredit the longterm play with signing Eric's other son here. Eric is a pro scout for the Islanders and is obviously super connected. Doing moves like this, you hope there is a payoff down the line as well as in the present. Ryder played his way onto this roster, Sawyer hopefully can find legs.

In future Import Drafts if you see us take a flier on an Islanders euro prospect. Or even if there is an undrafted NCAA Islanders pick. Moves like this could help us in the future land players.

Ryder is a solid player. He earned it no doubt! I think you’ll appreciate sawyer when you see our small team not get beaten up

Good teams stay hungry after an 8-1 win

No disagreement on O’Reilly. He is a real bright spot for sure. I think he will get drafted.

Sam O'Reilly will be a NHL first round draft candidate by season's end

Lol ask Sarnia if Boultons are a waste Sawyer laid out a few players with solid hard hits the next time the puck was dumped into the corner and sawyer went after it the player abandoned the play so play tell me again how you think they're a waste. Too many hits to the head for you?


Here video proof you. Have no idea what your talking about

If you're implying that this team isn't good because they lost a game after winning a blow out game, that's complete rubbish. Happens all the time to "good" teams

I’m implying that they need to be hungry

When 80% of teams make the playoffs, it’s essentially an exhibition season. Just need to work on things and hopefully get better by season’s end. Plenty of time.

Seed matters though. Home ice matters

I strongly agree with the poster's message in the name, but also strongly disagree with the inflammatory words in the posting above !

If you're thinking about going to Brantford on Wednesday and haven't got your tickets yet, good luck. They have very few seats available

He will end up taking 2 penalties a game that will cost you. He doesn't play hockey. He runs players. That's his only job. News flash. This isn't 1981 OHL. You need to be physical and skilled. Which he is not.

He's got zero penalties so far .. already falling behind

And vs the Petes they had no problem being undisciplined and it had nothing do a new Boulton signing.......an agenda from the poster,maybe?

If he is seen as hurting the team the staff will take care of it when the games mean the most. Until then they brought him him for a reason. One that only they know and we speculate about. Unless someone here has inside info which most wouldn't share here. I know I wouldn't.

 

[Knightsfan90]

For the posters who don't see the point in Sawyer Boulton. What did you say when the knights acquired Zac Rinaldo they bring the same jam this team will need
