London Knights 2023 - 24 Season Thread (Part Three)

[Holden Caufield]

Simpson and Edward apparently not on the bus…

 

[Purple Phart]

He broke his shmeckel. Out for a game or two.

Next time a teammate says that " Dude....you've got balls of steel " doesn't mean you can forego wearing a cup.

 

[dmead]

He ain’t on the bus cause he’s your starting goalieeeee

Starting goalies dont ride the bus in the OHL? I missed that memo.

 

[LDN]

Simpson and Edward apparently not on the bus…

Why?!

 

[jamemcca]

Why wouldn’t he be? Was Easton Cowan Sam Dickenson or Denver Barkey on the bus?

Holy smokes

 

[tjziel]

Does anyone know how long Ruslan Gazizov is out?

 

[Fastpace]

Playing too fancy right now, going to lose this game, if they didn't get back to the basic hockey as they have been doing the past ten games or so

 

[Knights77]

They’ve found the cross ice pass through the seam several times and instead of shooting they’re looking for another pass. Should have capitalized on their PP’s. Tight game so far, but chippy. Good to see McCue back and he accepted the fight willingly, no surprise. Willmore has been solid so far.
Kid line got victimized for the goal (Arrowsmith, Gerber, VanGorp).
Solid amount of Knights faithful in the crowd, nice to see

 

[Roadhog]

I don't think I've ever seen this many cages on an OHL team. Nice depth ya got there.

 

[three dog night]

LOL! Leonard is probably worth a 3rd and a 5th and that’s if we trade him back to Niagara.

We will take him back

 

[Fastpace]

5-3 over Mississauga

Not their best played game, although the team effort was there. A win is a win as they found the way and are now only one point away from Kitchener

Sorry, I'm not taking anything away from Leonard....I really like him and want him to remain a Knight. I was just meaning what I've seen over the years in trades that the deal the one poster was suggesting does not measure up.

Here's the way I see the Knights playoff roster shaping up:

Cowan Julien Gazizov
McCue Dubois Barkey
Sim O'Reilly Halttunen
Van Gorp Nicholl Boulton
Brzustewicz

Dickenson Bonk
George Edward
Woolley Leonard

Simpson
Willmore

I think they go out and acquire a Centre who's good on the dot, hoping for Dubois, but it'll end up being whomever they can ultimately afford. Bruzer could slot in for either Boulton or on D.

Jax Dubois would be the preferred one, Knights management knows how tuff of a centerman he was against last spring

Perhaps Jacob Frasca would be a second choice, very strong in the circle as we've noticed this week but also on the second team power play would give London a very good 1 - 2 punch

There is also Zach Giroux of Flint, decent at face-offs but also his speed on the ice is out of this world. We have Barkey Van Gorp and Nicholl with exceptional speed, imaging adding another with experience, a centerman too, he's an 03 from Sudbury, do we know someone else on the Knights team who's from Sudbury and an 03 as well? Do you think they know each others, perhaps the chemistry is already developed

The Knights could play anyone of those three, and they would not go wrong, IMHO

 

[Fastpace]

Both Kitchener and Soo loss tonight, Knights now have the best winning percentage of the Os

 

[ArielNederland]

Thank you sudbury for that awesome comeback

Barkey, Cowan with Julien in the middle is my preference. Julien #1 center. If history repeats itself, Dale will create a checking line. Something like Sim, McCue and someone.

Sim-Dubois-McCue checking line?

 

[Fergus31]

Sim-Dubois-McCue checking line?

Maybe. Or someone internal.

 

[LDN]

9 in a row is solid! Gotta keep this going!

 

[Holden Caufield]

 

[Ringing Iron]

Heard Jax Dubois headed to Kingston

 

[Knights77]

Heard Jax Dubois headed to Kingston

Noooooooooo……

 

[Ringing Iron]

Noooooooooo……

Dubois is not the answer for London.

 

[LDN]

Dubois is not the answer for London.

Agreed. Would have been a nice piece, but on to the next!
