No broken down bus excuse last night. This team shut off after the third goal. It seems to me that after Christmas, London has struggled to play a full 60 minute game. Think about it. I can probably count on one hand the amount of complete games the Knights have played since after Christmas. Sure, playing well for 30 minutes or even 1 period may get it done against weaker teams but not against top teams like Windsor, Kitchener or Oshawa.
The PP that was so lethal up to December has become predictable and stagnant.
Probably the worst game this season by the D corps. And the offensive side wasn't much better. And how do you not score against a goalie that wears a white mask this late in the season that came in cold? Cowan seems off. Nichol hasn't been the same since his injury. Jules is Jules. Haltsy and Nurmi haven't lit up the scoreboard like we had hoped. Oreilly is hot and cold. Montgomery has dropped off and come back down to earth. Faceoffs were a killer as well.
Barkey has been the only consistent player, with Sim a close second.
Still seeing too many players giving up a prime shooting chance to try and make that perfect pretty pass play instead.
I know it's only one game but last night was a winnable game and instead of giving London some breathing room atop the standings all they did was give Windsor a major confidence boost and allow them to close the gap.
Let's see what Tuesday holds. If they can turn it around and dominate then I'll say that last night was an aberration. If they come out flat and lose at home to Kitchener then I would say that we are in trouble come playoff time.
