London Knights 2023 - 24 Season Thread (Part Three)

[nelli27]

Good game by both teams. Penalties will fluctuate especially with Burchell. Tough for Kitch not having Mesar for 40 mins.

Please no Hutchison reffing tomorrow night.

 

[RangerNation]

I'm hearing Hutchinson/Burchell tomorrow. Riots on Dundas. Good game. Now I am have to drive back to London, it's like a drive of shame.

Absolute clinic of a road game by you guys. 1st time watching this year and your elite.

No shame at all, it could have gone the way just the same

Great win tonight. It didn’t feel like they were as crisp tonight offensively, but still battled and worked hard to get back in it after going down by 2. They played well defensively and despite a couple softer goals against, Simpson came back to make some big saves! Glad Julian potted one…he had a ton of great looks tonight! Love the physical play from McCue and Sim…just don’t go overboard and take penalties! Another big game tomorrow!

Agreed with everything. Kitchener made it tough for London to penetrate much at times but London buckled down well defensively. Shots were in London’s advantage but I thought Kitchener had some decent scoring chances that Simpson saved. First goal was weaker but that happens with him. Overall, I think we’re seeing the Simpson London traded for.

It shows on the OHL website that at 20 Minutes of the third BARKEY got a Game Misconduct for Abuse of an Official! Does anyone know what happened with that?

Great... we don't need any more suspensions

 

[Krangers08]

Did Bolton and Brzustewicz played more than a shift? Didn’t see them

Boulton played a handful through out the first 2 periods, don’t think I saw him in the 3rd though. Brzustewicz didn’t dress.

Great... we don't need any more suspensions

My initial thought is, no suspension because it doesn’t have a CAT assigned to it. But I could be wrong, hoping I’m right though!

Edit: after looking, I think it will fall under this rule here. Which allows for supplemental discipline but not automatic.

There's a small village in Michigan known as "Hell". Apparently, during the recent cold snap, the village froze over. " Hey Burchell, did you happen to see that Hell froze over last week??? " I guess that means that you'll be expecting a call-up from the NHL.
I suspect that the comment went something like that.

The officiating is getting out of hand. You think Burchell and Hutchison are terrible... There's another ref who is a shameless gambling advocate! He wears a sign on the back of his pinstripes that reads: BET.
For some reason, I can't remember his name.

LONDON KNIGHTS 4-2 WIN
by Ryan Pyette
COMING UP BIG:
Hunter saw the first half of the game as a ‘cat-and-mouse’ feeling-out process between the two rivals.
“Both tried to play good defence,” he said. “We had some breakdowns that (goalie Michael Simpson) came up big on. We’ve got to crack down on those (chances) for the next game.”
The Knights outshot Kitchener every period, but Simpson was up to the challenge when needed. The over-ager was particularly good late following a long run of London power plays in the third.
“You hope for it, I guess,” he said of the frenzied finish. “Mentally, I keep to myself and tell myself what I need to do. It’s getting my eyes on (the puck) early. That’s what (goalie coach Daren Machesney) and I have been talking about during this stretch when things are going right. When my eyes are working, everything else seems to follow.
“We did a good job taking away the back-door threat so I could get aggressive and make that save.”

Drive safe

Today is important

SSM is 6-4 in their last 10 and still pacing with us… that’s silly

 

[Fergus31]

These games would be nice to win but I think the more important thing is the consistent play we’ve seen lately. London is locked into the top four of the conference. Winning the division would be great but it’s not the end of the world if they don’t win it.

 

[Buttsy]

When you are on a roll it seems nothing can go wrong? I didn't think we looked exceptional but certainly outplayed Kitchener overall and easily did enough to win. Simpson is really starting to shine which is awesome we paid up to get him and if we hope to be in Saginaw representing the OHL as Champions we are going to need him to steal us a "W" or two along the way. Hopefully we can bang out another win and put the Rangers in our rear view in the standings. GO KNIGHTS .....

 

[Fastpace]

It is nice to see our star players back from the World Tourney, and have Gazizov back as well, but we can't have our bottom six sitting at the back of the bus either. Everyone has a seat, they all arrive and leaves at the same time, no free riders on this bus.

Want a chuckle? Read the Rags thread. Plenty of people accusing the boys of diving, embelisshing, etc. Like Sim catapulted himself face first into the boards.
Just admit the better team won last night and move on.

The better team did win. If not for Parsons, who was the best player on the ice both teams, we’re looking at a four or five goal spread easy.

Our top six were no shows. When your fourth line and a 16 year old are your best forwards, you won’t win many games.

 

[StormWatcher]

Brody Crane is looking good in a Storm uni. Two goals last night.

I find they are the best team board for no excuses as a whole. Sure there may be 1 or 2 but they are solid as a group. I enjoy the non shaded view of the thier team and games I read from most posters. The regulars are great.
