Silly move by Cowan in the shootout. Has he used that in the O this year?

To be fair all moves usually look silly when you don't score.

We might be getting some of players back early. Team canada was not constructed that well although it's probably more of an indicator that the coach isn't that good

Either that or we won’t have Dale starting tomorrow because he’ll be on his way to Ottawa to take over

Whole team was a joke in the shootout.

Cowan has scored doing that multiple times though.

Slowly going into the slot and doing the same unconvincing fake 3 times hardly seems like a good strategy to me, but I guess he thought it would work.

He's not to blame for the loss by any means, but it stood out to me as a really ineffective move. I was wondering if it had worked for him in the past.

Stubbs is a very smart guy. He either knows something we don’t or decided to troll hard here. I don’t see him as the trolling type, so definitely more smoke here.

But @StormWatcher says Luchanko has too much sportsmanship to go and let himself be traded… so Stubbs must be trolling, right ?

Stubbs was just referring to the London connection.. Meaning Luchanko is from London and the rest of the players were London Knights.

I'll stay out of the back n forth on whoever as it's not worth it.
I posted month ago LK would make 2 moves no one saw coming n it's Fimis n Montgomery.
Allen trade shows they are all in.
And no surprise if it's a tiered/2part deal. (Or if its not, wait a week n see...... both can still happen)
If 2 part deal, the return on JL will be less than market value then if traded solo, based on price for Allen and the wishes of the players (so glad the kids have a say now)

Good luck to all ohl teams. Tough time gor playets
Good luck to TC in Ottawa
Good luck n best wishes to all Jr aged players dealing with the social media BS during the reade deadline.

Why bother bringing this up? No one blames Gibson for taking the elbowing penalty. You win as a team, and lose as a team.

All one has to do to is look at their posting history to realize there is a bias involved.
Posts according to personal agenda, just like a couple posters west down the 401.
Which seemed odd to me at first as they are a former "xxxxx" members.( but he ain't the only one twisting, turning, begging for favour from a local team on this forum )

This just in, breaking news...
Kazakhstan, down 6-1, has fired their head coach between periods and has replaced him with Borat

Take notes, Canada. Bob and Doug MacKenzie are available.

Billy, this isn’t the Soo board. What is it with ex loser media members trolling this board?

It amazes me the awful coaches this program goes through more often than not. Sometimes twice.

Dickinson should have been out there in ot He’s 100% goal or assist in ot Does Cameron not know his players ??

 

[Sane Knights Fan]

How many overtime games has London won this season and last ? Like all of them ! Dickinson Bonk Cowan know how to get it done. And they all can defend just as well . Cameron get with it

How do these hilarious rumours start? . Montague is clown and no one would want to pretend to be him. Several people on the forum know me in person, just a regular fan.

Coaching is making adjustments during game. We needed to play much more aggressive game, defense rushing puck and pinching. We played right into their game. Using same player over again in shootout much better strategy.

Luchanko to London what's involved idk but I'm hearing things. Take that as you will

I wonder what the package could be…..

I could see a Logan Hawery and picks trade package. I think Guelph shoots for this as long as they can…

I could also see an Evan Van Gorp and Noah Read and picks if Hawery uses his NTC. It wasn’t long ago that Evan Van Gorp had a 5 point game against Guelph so the Storm know how good he actually is, and is better than being a 4th liner. Same goes for Noah Read. He had a 4 point game against Guelph and even scored 3 of his 4 goals against Guelph.

Van Gorp and Read both could easily be in the Top 6 for Guelph and will have for 2.5 half years of them whereas Luchanko would become a Knight for 0.5 to 1.5 years.

As Guelph now knows, London’s players are better than advertised just because they don’t get top line minutes on London, doesn’t mean they’re not capable…

We do not need Luchanko. This team already is already miles above any other OHL team

 

[Ken Yates]

Any word on Nichol injury?

Right now the Knights are, but they gap will be closer after the trade deadline.

Oshawa will add to their defense and add depth to their forwards. Like a Sam McCue and Konnor Smith

Musty to Erie will make them better. Erliden can steal games.

Brampton will add for sure still. I don’t think Saginaw will trade Misa and Parekh but if they do, Brampton will be loaded. They have the assets to do it. Martone, both Misa’s, Rehkopf and Parekh would be lethal.

Barrie potentially adding OVS and Romani giving them the 300 point line from last year with their forward and defensive depth would give London a run for their money. Their top 9 would challenge London’s.

The point of acquiring Luchanko would be to cement themselves as Champions. Give other teams no hope lol!

These are excellent points, if we can add without giving up Hawery, sure.

I would love Musty, I think he would be a discount addition. I think Lushanko would cost an 08 first.

HMM wonder if the new NCAA rule will have a effect with James Hagens coming to London after the WJT. Oh I could hear the conspiracy people now LOL
