London Knights 2023 - 24 Season Thread (Part Three)

[Fastpace]

I dislike when Boulton goes to far BUT I believe he has found his line if he plays like that night in and night out it will help the playmaker play while adding in some big hits pumping up tge crowd

Every player on the team have a role to do, Boulton, is doing his role to perfection, if he wasn't, he would no longer be on the team by now, not all players are goalscorers. That's the beauty of teamwork, when each player's role contribution leads to the success of their team

Johnston, R. Boultin, Gaz out today

Knights with Sawyer Boulton in the lineup:
11-8-0

Knights without Sawyer Boulton in the lineup:
17-3-1

Not all players are goalscorers, but he's also Antonio Stranges in his own zone.

Here we go again, players don't always have to be in the lineup to be part of the team success. There are many roles to do for players in or players out of lineups, a player can sit on the bench for the duration of the game and still be part of this team. Ex. Willmore dressed for most games he was still part of the team success, coaching staffs did not dress and were also part of the tea successes. You have got to chase this one player mentality out and bring the team concept equation in, no such a thing as one player team. Cheering fans do not dress for games, and they are also part of this overall team success, ask any players?

Must be a miserable life you live to keep bashing a teenager says alot about your character.

Here is a stat since Boulton came back Knights have outscored there opponents 13-1 so far!

Maybe put the drum down you look foolish

Don't sweat it Coach. That poster is the type that wants to give everyone a participation ribbon cuz "They're all winners".

 

[imarriedawitch]

This is bad. Probably a game that shouldn't have been played, a game that the Knights could have played in their street clothes. If it's true the Attack took back roads to circumvent road closures then the league policies regarding travel in storms need to be reviewed.

10-0 London

Another Goose-egg for Simpson, in my view he should be wearing the zambrero or an equivalent for a shutout win

The streak carries on, at 12 game so far

 

[nelli27]

Having played last night, and with that crazy bus ride this morning, it was a long afternoon for the Attack.
I guess we owe the shutout to Sloan and Doyle, not Simpson, since they didn't dare mention the "S" word.
Why leave Votary in?
OS will regroup and be fine.
That's 12 in a row as we move on to face Kitchener next weekend for a home and home.

 

[Knights77]

The announcers said “shutout” with just under 3min to play.

Didn’t watch the game. Maybe they learned their lesson.

I totally agree, hockey is a great game, but it does not worth to put our young players at road travelling risk' rescheduling would offer better entertaining for all fans and much safer for players. OHL management, hope you are listening to your fans

Nope, he literally said with just under 3 minutes to play Michael Simpson is closing in on a shutout. Goalies everywhere cringed. Lol.

During the broadcast, it was mentioned that a Listowel farmer used his tractor to pull the Attack bus from the ditch. Yes, main thing is that they arrived safely.

Are you serious Bro'?
Sawyer Boulton has a specific role on the Knights.
Mark didn't bring him into London to score 100+ Points.
Did you do similiar stats for Bonk, Cowan & Haltinen when they were away at the WJC?
The Knights have imroved in all areas of their game. It's a team game approach.
Sawyer played an excellent game against Saginaw.
Boulton Brothers leave bruises. Not fun.

The stats were more tongue-in-cheek than anything. It's obviously not on Boulton that there is such a disparity, but it was to poke fun at people saying he's critical to the success of the Knights.

It's such a whimsical line you end your post with. Let me ask: when was the last time Bryce McConnell Barker suited up for the Soo?

 

[Buttsy]

LOL, have to admit I haven't watched a lot of Knights games so far but today I watched as OS always seems to give us a go. Argh, it was ugly from the anthem onward. BUT it was nice to see what we saw last season a very strong "team" game that if maintained should set us up for a strong playoff run! Tough division this season, round 2 onwards is going to see some strong teams beaten out!

It's the secondary roads that worried me most, if the mean highways were closed how much better or riskier would all these others go around road be, as it turned out it was a risk

Nice to see Kaleb with another goal.
You will love that guy. He plays big .
I so wished we kept him .
I'm glad he has a real shot at a championship.

The team is on a 12 game heater

Now maybe concentrate on the in house experience. Outdated to the point of being laughable. Ditch Chelsea Dagger and Sweet Caroline. It's been 15 years

Agree 100%. Top franchise in the OHL and likely CHL with owners who are millionaires many times over offer an in game experience no better than many Jr. C games I have attended. It's actually embarassing. It seems to me their answer to improving the experience is to turn the volume up louder. John Denver's gotta go too!

It's horrible. Every goal they score I plug my ears. It's a joke of a goal song...it sucked 15 years ago...time doesn't change that. Sarnia blows us out of the water for in house experience

Remember when the Knights tried to change the goal song and it was essentially the Rangers goal song? Hilarious. Hall & Oates is available now!

Yeah, something didn’t seem right all game with Owen Sound. Disappointing in a way because they usually are a hard out for London.
