London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part V

[Otto]

I'm gonna be at the Brantford game March 5 so if they can't do the 12 in a row it'd be great to be in the building for it..

Me too.. finally finishing all 20, again

Dale needs 12 wins for 1000. If they win 12 straight he would get #1000 on Saturday March 1st @Niagara

Looking at the schedule, is there one team in particular you'd love to see Dale get #1000 against?

Too easy.....Rags

I am still amazed how well the team performs when key players are out of the lineup.

This is a dream before the nightmare.

As much as I predicted a much better Kitchener team this season than most have at the start, London will win all three remaining games against Kitchener. It appears that the Giant from London has been awakened since the outcome of their last Kitchener meeting, and the same can be said for Windsor's.

What a great relief off his shoulders, now with his immediate future settled, Eliot can now concentrate on his playing, and helping London reaching the ultimate goal

Time will tell. Kitchener probably feels a monkey off the back and will feel these 3 meetings are an indication of playoff success. Hopefully these two squads hash it out in the playoffs!

Yes. I don’t care how good your team in front of you is and how lucky you are 20-0 is nothing to sneeze at. He’s done exactly what the Knights have needed!

No doubt, Kitchener has to feel good from their big win. If you go player by player, talent by talent and experience by experience, you soon realize there is an imbalance between the two. They can say that the #1 goalie in the league can steal a game or two, but #2 and #4 on the more experienced team can also say, hey, no so fast, we're here too.

Even if the top six players from both teams were overflowing, which I believe they are not, London possesses greater depth and talent with extensive experience in their bottom six to accomplish the task.

Agreed London has greater depth by a wide margin on paper. I do believe Kitchener style (strategy) is very good counter for Londons style. Kitchener is a by committee team. As is London, but Londons committee is more high end.

The Hunter’s coaching staff and systems is a huge plus as well when playoffs arrive.

Absolutely. Man I’m excited for the playoffs!

 

[LDN]

a name to keep an eye on where we will likely pick in the draft:

Lucas Nutting (6’1 RD from EMC. Got in 2 GOJHL games in for strathroy)

Just some things I found intriguing about the London Jr. Knights squad. Danny could be considered as an assistant coach if we do want to add another to our group. Will there be a passing of the torch at some point?

Re: Kitchener's new found confidence against the Knights...winning a single game is one thing, winning a best of 7 series is another.

I think he’s speaking mainly on 1st OA in the league, but agreed. Beating the Knights 2 out of 3 will be tough

 

[LDN]

Kitchener got a lot of love from beating the Knights.

 

[KnightWatchman]

Loss to Kitchener dropped us down a spot seemingly

CHL Top 10 came out today and London still number 1, not that it means anything other than being kinda funny that they are #2 in OHL
