London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I

[dino200022]

We all on here talking like we are not Conference final bound....Lets stop putting the cart in front of the horses folks. Not like we are losing to Owen Sound or Kitchener we lost to the #1 ranked team who has all of their players and a team who I think we will meet in the Conference Finals who was missing one big piece in Schaeffer. Lets not be so fickle.

I thought the horses were supposed to go in front of the cart?

I think we jumping all over Wilmore a little too much we need to cover in our d zone much better and do tbe little things like block shots and clear the front of the net more so our goalie can see things . Ya can’t expect Dickenson to come back from camp play 30 min cause we’re inexperienced on defense and chip in offensively to not make a mistake, I saw this in Leonard too , trying to get us back in a game by going in deep after pucks. I do agree on Julien kind of disappearing last year off and on and as one of the posters mentioned being -8 is telling

You literally didn’t address what I said. Nobody cares about your sad hockey career old fella. I’m sure if the internet was around when you played plenty of people would have had lots to say

It doesn't matter what any one say about this old fellow, no one can change what is already facts any, this old man here is left with old knowledge and experienced, besides we are not here for the old yesteryear. By the way, we're here to talk about junior hockey teams of the day. If there is a desire to discuss a specific player, it would be advisable to establish a personal conversation page and invite those who wish to participate in the discussion. Cheers!

Welcome aboard!
Agreed on Willmore. He deserved a shot based on past 2 years. It may or may not work out. No biggie.
As far as the D going deep in the OZone......that will continue as it's what they coach them to do. Almost all the D will have a green light to recover pucks below the opponents goaline based on reads. Theyve done it for years. They want possession n it's another way to get it.

Julien, I get people want more but he is what he is and that's not a knock. Kid has done very well and exceeded expectations after MM and JrB season. Expecting him to be a dominant 1C from some on here ( not you ) is too much IMO. He has turned a U18 draft player into a very serviceable JrA player and NHL camp invite. He really just started focusing on hockey as a pro aspiration last year or so. Good on him. He has done more in this game progression wise than most in his position.
Not thinking he will be a pro but hope he keeps chasing it and if not got a good feeling he will do just fine. (his path was always scholastic in focus til he put hockey #1 recently)

Not sure I'd want to buy this year. The east looks like it's going to be a slaughterhouse this year. Not sure how media pegged london to win conference... even with all the guys back

It's been awesome!!!!!!! Esp the PMs where ya get a notification they contacted you again against your wishes but can't see the post
Funny someone who doesn't want comments to hurt players feelings continuously PMs someone who told them to stop lol.

Any more info on Easton situation?

Nothing on Cowan. Speculation from writers is he’s London bound eventually.

No truth to Musty or Bidgood. Just posters speculating.

Thanks Fastpace

Yeah, his feelings get hurt when you comment negatively (in public) about a player. Never used the ignore button before but his dementia is driving me to give it a try. Thx for the advice.

London in last place, Niagara in first place.

Guessing the world ends with the US Election.

 

[three dog night]

Niagara smoked Brampton

Plus a goalie fight

 

[Ringing Iron]

Easton will be back this week

 

[Sane Knights Fan]

Easton will be back this week

How do we know this ?

 

[Knights2729]

Only thing I worry about ti why is Bidgood still wearing a cage?
That leads me to believe he's on the trading block like many other before him. If he wants ice and can't get it here Hunters will move him for an opportunity somewhere else

Usually a guy wearing a cage is still considered a JrB call up, they dont take the cage off until they sign a Jr A contract so it seems kinda odd to me that would be the case.

Other teams having bad starts: Brantford and Oshawa

So we aren’t the only team in the doghouse

In before London gets Musty for something like Fagan, Arrowsmith, and a couple picks.

Yes, but the speculation of Musty going to London was only made up by posters on this thread. Nothing substantiating Musty to London in the real world.

How do we know this ?

Pretty sure Ringing Iron is well connected with the team.
