[Wolf on a Wire]

Nichol is from Ottawa area. Poor kid doesn’t need to go to that shit show up there.

This response reaffirms that Musty is a perfect fit for London…

They have to break that Bonk/Dickinson pairing up IMO. We just do not have the Defensive depth to play them together 5v5. Would rather then be on a separate pair and then 90 percent of the game one of them is on the ice, to me that just makes more sense.

Pardon my ignorance but why no Burtsy tonight? is he Ill?

 

[dino200022]

If I was a betting man this is what I would bet the letters look like.

Captain - Barkey

White A - Cowan
White A - Dickinson

Coloured A - Bonk
Coloured A - Julien

Honrable mentions to Sim and O'Reilly who can fill in if injuries happen.

Well I was close damnit....

Saginaw is more dangerous offensively, I would give tonight's start to Meds (He know Saggy)

How does he know Saggy?? Are they facebook friends? I don't see how he "knows" Saggy unless I'm missing something.

Maybe it's the new slang the kids are using.. Medvedev, he's good, he no Saggy, yo. Clap, Clap, Clap your hands.

Medvedev has been on fire tonight!

Not a great showing so far for the big guys so far.

Bit surprised Sim didn’t get another penalty on his late wrecking ball shift. Saginaw will keep their head up now.

 

[dino200022]

Nice to see the diving board still works in Saginaw...Christ

 

[ArielNederland]

Need more depth scoring to help take the pressure off barkey/ cowan. Teams are covering them and we don't have as much depth as last year to overcome that. That and we aren't shooting enough pucks at the net

Getting stupid out there....

Wake up boys.

Wake up boys.

Difficult to understand the effort tonight. Let’s hope for better on Sunday.

 

[dino200022]

Effort is not great, but getting tired of all this diving from Saginaw. Three players laying on the ice and not one missed a shift. Papa Hache still running the show

 

[Fastpace]

Knights went for the imperfect-perfect plays all night, too many extra passes (all players) some time the puck needs to go to the net

London Knights played with hardly any motivation to start the game against Saginaw, if there was a team that was needing payback from, it's Saginaw, London came out flat. It was like a Major junior team against a bottom end junior B team. Again what a disappointment this game was, reminiscent to Memorial Cup game, this is the time to criticize this full team. Fans should be embarrassed to pay this much, to watch this kind of hockey. Pick your sox up, boys, learn from this and move on

I did not name a player here, the whole team should be embarrassed.

What does Hache have to do with anything tonight?? Heck, Barkeys lucky he's not tossed for spearing.

I don't blame him..gets elbowed to the face then punched in the face to knock his helmet off. Did not get the call because he did not dive like Saginaw does. Guess we have to get better at being p***yess?

 

[dino200022]

Can I have your attention please....will the real Jacob Julien please stand up??

How about captain?!

 

[dino200022]

Not a good night for anyone, but Julien has been invisible all season. I have had mono before and Barkey is still two to three weeks from truly being at full strength. That sickness takes any energy you have, feels like you are playing with asthma constantly.

How about captain?!

I agree 100%. Like I said yesterday, Gaz, Mcue , Kasper gone we need to replace some scoring. Our young guys out there are like Barky and Cowan in there rookie years
Not a ton of points but learning , but if we are gonna go for it this season while we have some great players we need to bring in some offense , sprinkle in a couple of young guys here and there . Next year we loose a lot of talent, we need to do something this season
