Barkey tmr?!

Barkey tmr?!

No Barkey tomorrow. Likely plays against Erie

 

[ArielNederland]

Going to need to get alot more shots on goal. Medvedev keeping us in the game

 

[GangGreen]

What a brutal dive

 

[nelli27]

I'm ok with the split...gave us a good idea where these two teams stand... Spits eke out a one goal win on home ice, giving 100% effort. Well deserved W.
Add Cowan, Barkey, Dickinson and Bonk, and we're in a good place.
Medvedev was outstanding.
Protas best Spits import since Baisov, no I meant to say, Sergachev (sp?).

 

[LDN]

Unfortunate to not get a point out of this one

 

[Long Reach]

4 pp to 1 with the lone pp being puck over glass.

Still need a top D. Hopefully not another sleepy deadline.

 

[Sane Knights Fan]

Yeah Windsor sure see how they measure up against a knights team that are missing 5 players. There defense is sloppy in there own end , George Costaza ( oh I mean Joey ). Lol
I was just waiting for him to to hand us the puck . Hope they play him against us next time so we can light him
Up . This is a team we can take down in the playoffs where goaltending and defense win series.

Yep our players got tackled a couple times. No calls. Then Windsor dive artist squeezes are guys stick under his arm behind the net guy goes down like a leaf off the tree

Maybe. Brz and Fimis aren’t guys I want to rely on in top 4 defensive roles. But I guess I’m greedy.

 

[Otto]

Windsor 8, London 2

Windsor 8, London 2

Again?

Barkey for sure out?

Assuming Kitchener (don’t think so?) and Windsor (possible?) don’t load up this should get you to the OHL Final. But if Oshawa and their new coach get it together I don’t think we are Memorial Cup bound?
Throwing this out there at times I think we are sitting better youngsters in the stands to give Nurmi a spot? Just my opinion he doesn’t really give me the warm fuzzies a lot when it comes to any part of his game quite frankly? Maybe if he makes the WJC he will snap to it when he gets back. May tell us a lot about Team Finland if he sticks?

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

My wish list would be:

Musty and the rights to Brady Cleveland for Fagan/Van Gorp (2nd, 3rd, 2x5th)

Good luck. The cost will fall somewhere between that and the Hawery plus 8(2-5) picks Papineau will ask for.

Nurmi doesn't stand out in a lot of ways, but he is one of the better passers on the team. I still think he is fine as a 3rd liner on a Memorial Cup-caliber team.

Paps will ask and never receive. Closer to that back in October…. Now an injured Musty and rights to a defective player, that value has fallen.

Paps will again play London 2 minutes until midnight and either get a windfall or pay Barrie a 3rd pick to take the 2 pt/g player so a better draft slot is not in danger of being missed

 

[ArielNederland]

BMO has been a great addition to the Knights! Do who still need another scorer, defensmen? Or do we stay pat at the deadline?

 

[rve24]

Any1 got an idea on the card situation?

 

[crowncarrier]

Any word on Willmore? I was hoping someone would give him a look but I do not see him playing anywhere right now.

Anyone?

 

[nelli27]

Elliott 13-0.
Surprised how well we're playing defensively with 4 rookie d-men in the lineup, and against a couple of the better teams in the league. Fimis' first gaffe in a Knights' uni to cost us a goal but overall I'm happy with his play. Smart player, good breakout passes, reliable in his own zone.
Montgomery adjusting well...timely scoring.
Boys were noticeably tired...content to defend the lead in the 3rd period, and didn't even try to set up in the O zone on their last PP.

Record vs Rangers over 5 years: 21-6-3.

Stay strong Billy Jack! Stay strong.

Arrowsmith (NIA): 3 points today; 1 G, 2 A.
