London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part V

[bearfan]

Are we thinking Allen is gone for the year ?? Or What. Anyone got any insider info

I think they will wait until March 6th after his court date

Knights started the season 4-4.

Current record: 43-8

Impressive! That's all I got...carry on.

“Impressive” doesn’t somehow capture what a ride it has been. Will admit however I really liked last years team, disappointed it ended with a loss. Ryan Winterton was such a competitor. BUT they did at least play in the final CHL game of the season. I feel like we may see Saginaw again come playoff time? They sure can score but struggle a bit to keep it out of their net. Would be fun to see a Western Conference Best of 7 against them. Could get nasty ….

Not saying whether it’s enough or not but I get the feeling he will be out until the playoffs. I think that would be like a 20 game suspension roughly? Curious did anyone hear was Cam’s time in Guelph challenged at all with “poor judgement”?

I can't speak for his Guelph days, but it sounds as if he has been quite the partier during his time in London, for what that is worth. Leopards do not normally change there spots so one can only assume he did not just randomly become that way since the trade?

If all goes according to plan London will see Saginaw and Windsor will face Kitchener round two. Erie could beat Saginaw for a London/Erie round two matchup. It would take a massive collapse for Flint/Sarnia/Soo to upset Windsor or Kitchener but boy would that be nice. London would avoid the Saginaw/Erie round two matchup and theoretically would be nice and fresh for the Western Finals.

Yes agreed the precedent is:

Court then League then Team

I’d almost prefer Windsor or Kitchener? Saginaw can really light it up however we clearly have the best 1-2 goaltending tandem in Junior hockey so that’s good. LOL, you can scratch your head all day long about possible matchups but it will be what it will be. Also I know Dale and our coaches will have the boys prepared. Dale is an excellent coach and leader for sure but the entire coaching team is so experienced and are so competent. Almost unheard of for our guys to lay an egg come playoffs so I’m confident we will be ready once again.

I think round 1 we likely see

London vs SSM
Windsor vs Sarnia
Kitchener vs Flint
Saginaw vs Erie

I think the top 4 seeds would prevail and then the Knights would face Saginaw in this scenario. I do think this will be an interesting matchup. Saginaw does matchup well with us. They are a very skilled team

I’d be curious what Kit vs Windsor has been like head to head. Not sure who would win that series, but I’d lean towards Kitchener…

I do like the fact that Windsor and Kitchener should face each other and hopefully beat each other up pretty good.

I am not thrilled to face either Saginaw or Erie in round 2. Erie scares me a little bit more if healthy as they have a goalie who is capable of stealing some games. I think we can handle Saginaw with our depth and physicality.

I think the decision on the Cam Allen situation should be based on what could have happened. He should not be banned from playing hockey for life but a message has to be sent to JUNIOR hockey players. Let him move on to his pro career and send the message to young players that this dangerous behaviour cannot be tolerated. The Knights will be alright without him.

If you base the decision on what could have happened they would need to bring back the electric chair. I could go rob a bank this afternoon but if I don’t I would think I would get charged for it

Oh the bank will charge you, they charge you for everything and anything. Not only do they make money off your money, but they charge you for doing so....what a system!

Hi, can someone help me identify who this player is? The one on the right lol

 

[nelli27]

Tariff-ic game, some Mitchell Marner magic with 2 primary assists including one on McDavid's OT winner.
Canada 3 Oceania 2.

 

[Long Reach]

Congratulations Team Canada. Long live freedom.

Yes that’s the next McDavid! It’s Ryder boulton, son of former NHL enforcer Eric boulton.

It just goes to show you how idiotic Leaf fans are trying to drive the guy out of town. Both apples were things of beauty that not even most NHL players could make, the guy is elite anyways you slice it!

I did find it somwhat funny that Matthews man was McDavid. He had him tied up in front of the net and then went puck chasing leaving him wide open for the winner. Leafs media trying so hard to tell us that he is this briliant 200 foot player yet he can't even cover his man in front of the net in overtime, Love it!

See in the LFP this morning that Aboflan is out week to week with an upper body injury and is expected back before the playoffs. Nothing against the St Thomas Stars but when their season is over we will see Logan Hawery back in our lineup.

 

[Harley49]

Oh Canada ! Mitch Marner and Jordan Binnington!!! What a performance!!!

I 100 percent believe you are correct. Only reason he is down there at this point is so he can see 20 min of icetime per night. He deserves to be here, but having him play 6-8 mins per night is not what is best for his development at this point. But him experiencing some playoff time even if he is just sitting on the best is going to be great for him ala Cowan/Bonk did.

 

[Sane Knights Fan]

Great to see Marner have such a good game.

Yeah but it sucked nearly 0 mentions last night after the game by Sportsnet guys etc about Marner setting up both the tying and winning goals Both goals were
Awesome chances served up by Marner on silver platters no Brady T style bounce in after bulldozing the net style Way to go Mitch !!!

 

[LDN]

Really hope this is the year Mitch turns it on in the playoffs!

Love seeing our Knights Alumni do well!

Going to be a tough one tonight, Brampton seems to finally be playing up to their potential. They have a very deep lineup full of speed and toughness. Boys are going to need to put in a full 60 tonight to pull off the Dub.
