London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[TheOrangePylon]

Very strange on OHL site no longer shows Sim suspended.

His 5 games have been served, he is eligible to play Friday.

Also keep in mind Dave Rook is back again this year as being the goalie coach and he still has 4 full months to get the most out of these goalies and get them to a good calibre.

Reminder: He helped our goalies backstop us to 2 Memorial Cups in 2005 and 2016.

Sounds good! He’s a good luck charm!

Difference here is Adam Dennis had the Knights number … thorn in side …. can’t remember the last time Parson beat the Knights ….

You might want to give my post another read. I never said the Knights should go after him. 2004/05 was an example. There might be another team in this type of scenario....again not the knights as I even said in my post other teams.

Is this guy a Generals fan like in Oshawa Generals ?? If so wonder how funny he found getting swept last year was and how funny it was losing a game after being up by 4 in tbe 3rd

Wonder how long his point streak is in the OHL, or even beer league for that matter?

No.
And Londons goalies are fine

Agreed they at the very least deserve the chance to prove themselves. It’s still early and if it goes south a replacement can be traded for. I don’t think we will need to BUT if needed. I know this, if London doesn’t put at least 1 MC Trophy in the case from the past 3 years it has to be considered a missed opportunity. Mark will take care of business I’m confident in saying!

I will say this I was a bit surprised when Halt dropped that puck back. I didn’t think the points streak was on the mind of the team so much? But it was clear what he was trying to do! 2-1 in a tight game where the goalie had stoned them all night …. hmm? It all worked out perfectly in the end though.

 

[Buttsy]

Alright dude, whether I agree or disagree with Fastpace on things, it’s a public forum for a a reason. Keep the convos about Knights.

You guys can be better than acting like it’s high school in this forum. You @Buttsy annd the rest of you are better than that. I expect better from you

Moving on to Knights convos..

So sorry to disappoint you …. However will I sleep?

 

[crowncarrier]

If we can beat Parsons last year, we can beat him this year. Difference is in 04 we couldn’t beat Dennis in a playoff series.

Re-read my post....man this is getting old. You guys "liking" Harleys post when I clearly said other teams....meaning not London.

Do you think Medvedev almost solidified getting drafted with last nights performance?

Fair enough, totally get what you are saying. But I wasn’t surprised. They are a tight knit team and everyone on the roster knows the streak is going on, they all want to do their part to keep it going for Cowan. Stuff like that builds team strength, I think it’s good for them. They love their teammate and want to help him succeed.

Last year when the streak was happening, you saw stuff like that happen to help keep it going, but come playoff time the focused on winning and I think that’s where the difference comes in. There’s a time to focus on it and a time to not, the time to have fun and focus on it, is now.

Not on last nights performance as there was few key scoring opportunities, but you take the season as a whole so far and I can see why he was so highly touted. On top of the great athleticism and positional play, he has proven he is coachable. His rebound control at the start of the season needed improvement and he has come a long way in a short time. Next would be the confidence playing the puck, but he really hasn’t had a bad game.
