London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[Fergus31]

If it meant adding a veteran D without costing a boatload of picks? See ya Landon!
That may seem harsh, but he has shown he can't control himself on the ice, despite what he adds to the team. Reminds me of Danny Bois that way.

Nail meet hammer. Could not agree more.

Love Dale, but I can’t see him letting Sim go. I know Mark is the GM but Dale is the majority stakeholder and runs the show.

If Eddie came back, it would certainly solidify the defence. But, you’d have another volatile player prone to penalties and suspensions.

Not ideal having one of those players in 2024, let alone three (Ryder).

I recently rewatched the Mem Cup final for the first time since seeing it live. Terrible game from London obviously, but I still don’t know how you bring Sim back after that major penalty. Another takeaway from that game - London was at a disadvantage compared to Saginaw at the center position. Beck, Sapovaliv dominated the dot and quite frankly, the middle of the ice.

I know that this team is loaded, but I think the team composition as it stands now is a bit unbalanced. So, I still think they need another center within the top 9, but perhaps that could be filled internally by trying players at different positions on forward.

Thoughts?

Good for you man! I still haven’t watched the Memorial Cup Final since I was there watching it live. It just hurts too much, but I’m an idiot and will likely go to Rimouski. It was likely the fastest drive from Saginaw to London in world history

The team or the ice? Seemed pretty tilted on Tuesday!

Rimouski is sold old.....hope you're saving lots of $$ for the resale tickets.

The Knights were so bad that game. I can’t believe how flat they were for the biggest game of their careers

I got my tickets already from the Rimouski box office (didn’t have to pay re-sale value). I bought them already in September. Just gotta find someone as stupid as me to drive 12 hours for hockey cuz I got 2 tickets.

My favourite game of the tourney LOL

The cost would be the need to release another OA.

Is there much of a chance this could happen??

Never say never I say but highly unlikely.

 

[Sane Knights Fan]

Yeah but what does Providence do with him for ice time ? Like is the ohl his only option for full time ice or do they have other options

They could send him to the ECHL before sending back to the OHL if Boston deems that’s what is best for his development.

Bye Julien

Sometimes when your sent back from the pros your game looks off. Halttunen looks sharp and forgot how much of a weapon he is.

It help that he wanted to come back rather then play sparingly at the AHL level. His interview with stubbs he said "when Dickinson got sent back that the knights missing just one thing him"
Kasper is a very polite and respectful person the Sharks hit gold with him he will have a LONG NHL career

Former London Knight Mike Levin with a hat-trick tonight. Good for him!

 

[LDN]

Game day. Important weekend especially as WJC camps/invites are coming up and we will need to ensure we are in the race for 1st overall

Love to see it!

According to the london free press, semenov still hasn't received a canadian visa. He is on a special import list because he didn't report by November 1st. Apparently this way the Knights can retain all three imports

Stubsy mentioned this in his recent pod

With Sim back tonight, will be the first time this year we have a full squad!
Be interesting to see what we have for lines and who sits tonight.

Looking forward to seeing Halts for the first time at home tonight!

Ageeed looking forward to seeing the lines. I think Sim will bring some good energy.

Or a dumb penalty punishable by suspension.

Always nice to see a kid pop thier first goal. Extra nice to see how excited his teammates were for him! Says alot.
Fortunate he came out of the box with OS player while 4x4 with Cowan n Barkwy up front but he got to open space ( 2x) n sniped the 2nd chance.

Dickenson not making the best decisions on latest PP 5 min into the 2nd. A little to casual at times. Yes I have his bar alot higher than others lol.
