Ya horrible game by Dickinson. Also the entries in the zone on the PP are so frustrating.

Agreed. Perhaps a new strategy should be developed for the PP. it’s moderately predictable

I knows this means nothing but the Rags announcers post game saying Sim got his shiner from his fight with Mercer. I think they are watching a different game...the guy did not land one punch. He was sporting that thing at puck drop.

Shiner was there pre game

We do need to be #1 overall. This game and these points were very important.

Sim is so useful. 18 goals and does some impactful thing every game.

That impactfulness tonight should get him a suspension. Puck long gone into D zone and he blindsides to the head. Try to impact the game, great. Try to take someone out…cheap.

No, just a rough game n kudos to KTown. The PP has a numerous options and they will adjust ( notice the lack of feeding 12 in Ovis office lately? Purposely done? Options are great and they are looking at all them ) They have good movement usually and 4 great options on unit 1. One game shouldn't send alarm bells.

For me that first KTown PK kill set a great tone for them.
It was aggressive, didn't give LK entry or a chance to set up n sent a message. Kudos n props to the Rangers. Well earned.
Puck seemed to be bouncing alot n sometimes it goes your way sometimes it hurts ya. Full marks Kitchener.

Tonight or all year?

Very Sloppy tonight and the PP was awful. Learn and move forward....but still hate losing to the Rangers.

 

[JagrBomb93]

Hope that Haltunnen can find a groove soon. Just 3 goals this year so far.

 

[LKfan]

Allen continues to impress. Our best D since he has arrived.

He must have landed one on himself then, because there were 28 punches thrown in that fight and he threw them all haha. (I didn’t actually count, just picked a number for dramatic effect)

And yes, it was 100% there pre game. Must have been from his fight Sunday.

Not too sure this was a headshot, it definitely was a blind hit as Sim came from behind and hit him on the back of the left shoulder and arm. I'd like to see a replay of it, it didn't appear to be near the head, if it was to the head, than ya, he should be suspended

 

[M21]

Knights dominated in every aspect of the game tonight. Intensity. Fore check. Back check. Goal tending. Special teams. Finish on scoring chances. Defensive coverage. A game tape that needs to be watched by the players to show what other teams can and will do to them for the rest of the year. Sometimes a loss can be a good thing and this game was one of those times.

Edit. I meant Kitchener dominated.

I'll give you the blindside but the puck was swatted away from the players feet and right right when impact was made. Just rewatched it. And he did not make contact with the head from the replay they showed...it was his shoulder.

For some reason I cannot attach video of it.

 

[Knights77]

Tough to give up a late goal in the 2nd…Dickinson struggling a bit with turnovers. Montgomery has been excellent.

3 handled the puck like a hand grenade tonight. 90 was Knights best player, hit everything that moved and didn’t take any shifts off. (Ahem 13…)
Pridham needs to be treated like Haltunnen in a sense that you cannot let him shoot when on the PP. Great shot, the kid just finds the back of the net.
