London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part IV

[EvenSteven]

What about a guy like Jack Pridham?

Kitchener is rebuilding and he is committed NCAA next year. Would be a cheap addition that would boost our bottom 6.

He would not be cheap lol. Also why would they trade him to the knights of all teams?

Rangers entered the season as sellers. But now with their record and the CHL/NCAA agreement, I see them standing pat.

Rags have a good team no doubt, but they don’t have the draft bank to improve, they will fall in the second half. Standing still is going backwards.

Standing pat, I would think, based on this conference, could still see us finishing the regular season in third. Finishing in third gets us to the second round against Windsor. That would be a tough series but winnable.

If I’m Jack Pridham, I look at playing top line minutes, first power play, in Kitchener on a team that gets to the third round versus middle 6 to 2nd line minutes at best and second power-play unit in London, playing an extra 8 to 11 post season games.

Pridham may value the extra minutes with the Rangers than the minutes he would get in London.

But make no mistake, the Rangers would like to add a few more picks to the cupboard. Problem is, trading a Pridham to London undoubtedly would involve at least one 2nd round pick coming back. London only has one 2nd round pick. And they traded away a 2nd and 4th to get that pick (2nd ‘25). I believe Mark Hunter wants to go into the next draft with that 2nd round pick in his pocket.

I’m thinking that the Knights are probably finished making big adds. At best, look for secondary vet(s) added for very cheap on deadline day.

Thought that too but wasn’t 100% sure

Elliott between the pipes.
Hawery returns.
Nichol out.
(as per scorers sheet, OHL website)

 

[Holden Caufield]

Social media team got their days of the week mixed up here… should be todays game.

 

[rve24]

So Hawery not traded? Or traded, or maybe traded?
Just playing.
Great day for sports with Knights, Habs, WJC, CF.......just gotta find an hour to have dinner with the better half

 

[JTLiger]

Watching my first Knights broadcast in a couple seasons… Sloan always sound like this now or fighting a bug ?

 

[nelli27]

Hunter getting the most out of the lineup. Having said that, I think Spencer's last game with the Knights will be Jan. 3...trade or no trade, just no place for him in the top 3 pairings. That's my only small complaint. Everyone else take a bow.

 

[nelli27]

Up 8-3 after two, I expect Hunter to give few minutes in the 3rd to the top line with a 2 pm start tomorrow.
Let's see if they keep up the tempo. Sim will be gunning for number 4. Barkey already has a quiet 4 point game.
At one point during the broadcast Doyle mistook Read for Bidgood. How's that possible for someone so close to the team? It's baffling. Bidgood is a right shot, wears a cage, is #34. Read is a left shot, no cage, wears #92.
Some players are easy to confuse like Barkey and Hawery, similar size, smooth skaters, left shot, and both have the number 6 on their jersey.
Just babbling away as I await the 3rd period.

Going to be feisty tomorrow I bet with quick turnaround. Sarnia gave lots of cheap shots today. I am starting to like Fagan’s progression and really like Abolfan’s game and work ethic. Montgomery is a horse. Ran out of gas on the 2nd or 3rd goal against us at end of shift. Overall an ass kicking. Carry on tomorrow boys.

Good chances generated by Cowan through two periods.

Stupid undisciplined penalty

I think were not watching the same game. Cowan has been awful. But hes a leafs pick and a knight so no doubt Canada will ride him to another 4th place finish.

Can people not read on this site? Does everything need to be spelled out for them?


He had nice patience in the first two periods and made some good passes leading to high danger shots. Yes, the OP was made before the penalty!!!

 

[Knownothing]

Cowan has been invisible except of course for the dumb ass penalty.

 

[tjziel]

The worst game I’ve seen Easton Cowan play. He is smarter than that….

 

[ArielNederland]

Maybe he should sit out next game. Put martone in the lineup instead, but Dave Cameron won't change anything cause he's stubborn. Won't be suprised if canada didn't medal again this year. Will next year be better? Who knows

Maybe the team should have picked more Sarnia players. They really looked good today.

 

[davewheeler]

The whole team can't score and took 8 penalties. Maybe if all the Sarnia superstars were there it would be different.

well the result would still be the same.

Funny how the London trolls never fail to come out of the woodwork, no matter the time of year. And Canadian hockey fans have to be one of the dumbest demographics to exist. Always laughable when they lose in this overhyped tournament. Hopefully Letang solves their problems next year!

 

[Sal Iaccuzzo]

well the result would still be the same.

The whole team was parading to the box it was just a matter of time.

But gotta get shots in on Cowan because your team certainly can't do it.

 

[nelli27]

A game, maybe even a tournament, Cowan would like to forget...but it doesn't define him as a hockey player.
OHL mvp, playoff mvp, OHL champion, 56 game point scoring streak (and counting).
Is there a player on your team with a better resume?
