London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[Billyjack]

That's great. Shouldn't this be in the Guelph thread?

yea, he's not on the team of the millennium. LOLsmarten up!!

 

[GangGreen]

You got it, but unlikely eh

Would you be willing to give up Hawery for a forward that they hardly need? Their top 6, or even top 9 is stacked. I honestly feel a Jacob Graves type is all that's needed for this team.

I don’t even know if Luchanko will be on the market. Seems likely, but if I’m Guelph I wouldn’t trade him this year.

My hope is that Andrew Gibson becomes available. In the games against the Soo his assignment was to shutdown Easton Cowan and he did quite well.

If Mark is looking for a cheap option you sacrifice Landon Sim and you bring in Matthew Mayich. Defensive defenseman who knows his role.

Luchanko does have the ability to be a two year guy. That’s the only thing, but overall I agree and if we keep our futures we keep our program strong

So Hawery and Arrowsmith are every other gamers?

Preliminary Top 50 for the 2025 NHL Draft

It's time for my first official ranking for the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. I say official because I release a preseason ranking in the summer ( w...

Leave it to the Guelph announcers to get the NHL draft rule wrong

It's got nothing to do with being European. Halttunen was drafted by San Jose out of Europe, that's why he was allowed to play in the AHL. If he was drafted out of the OHL he would have been ineligible. The rule doesn't only apply to Canadians as the broadcast said.

Guelph announcers must have read the messages on this board. lol, they are talking up the Knights and way less homerism than normal.

Let's just hope they don't score.

Good PK by Guelph.

 

[Otto]

Where's the "dirty dirty play" comments on that hit?

Holy hell this broadcast team really needs to do their homework attendance increase was 2.3% not 6

 

[Fergus31]

Noah Read = Persistent

 

[Otto]

Replays would be nice.

Mickey Mouse broadcast

 

[crowncarrier]

Guelph announcers are a joke. Calling the hit on Barkey finishing a check. Give me a break. He didn't play the puck and it was a cross check to the face. What a joke.

They are in Ottos sniper scope, and I'll take Ottos #s for 1000 Alex
Thumbs up

 

[crowncarrier]

Congrats Eliott.

Lol did you all see what happened at the end? Fagan grabbed the puck behind the net and Bonk did not realize it and went to the score keepers after to get it. They gave him a puck but it will be funny when he gets to the room and realizes Fagan already grabbed it.

 

[LondonLocal]

Was that last 5 minutes a hockey broadcast or the food network? Wild stuff

 

[StingUpdates]

I think the commentators like grilled cheese.... Jesus Christ those final 5 minutes were hard to listen too

Well there really wasn't much else to talk about. Hockey was on the back burner for Guelph today so Grilled cheese on cars is all they had.

 

[Fergus31]

Had the entire game on mute. Never done that in my life.

Camera work a little better than last week but no replays.

Good to see Cowan sticking up for his teammate. Boulton also was trying to get at Budnick late.

Elliott, great game.

There’s a lot left for London to work on but take the points and bank them.

 

[rve24]

Shut em down, shut em shut em down. Yes I'm a Gen X lol.
Business like W. Stepped up over last match up n gave em very little. You'll always have hiccups in a season but looks like they took last weekend personal n made adjustments all around like it.
Agreed with liking 7 step up and in.
I'm guessing next game Boulton n Aboflan both dress to settle things down

No problem with a game like last weekend but love the response. Guelph was feeling good about themselves and their 3/4 game scoring bonanza n they got nothing.

Take it personal n make a statement......a good sign moving forward

Gen X is the best gen.

Holy, completely forgot about Aboflan. I like his tenacity too. Crazy to think Aboflan, Arrowsmith, Bidgood, Hawery, Sim were all scratched today. Good depth.

In a qualitative sense, I think it shows a lot when one star player sticks up for another like that. Even if it didn’t go very well. Camaraderie definitely should only improve with that and winning cures all too.

Very much looking forward to every game and seeing what this group can accomplish.

There had to be a move. You can't have 5 fwd sitting every night
