London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part V

[dino200022]

Saginaw does still have quite a team and I think they underachieved to start the season. As some have mentioned above there offence is dangerous but they lost too much defence from last year to make a long run I think.

Misa, Epperson, WIllis, Mangone, Chernyshov, Zhilkin....there top 6 is a very dangerous group. Fortunetly for us there defence consists of Parekh and and a whole bunch more of nothing else. Not to mention below average goaltending especially for an OA.

Luckily they play Erie round 1 most likely, so our round 2 opponent will most likely be coming off a long physcial series!

Willis is gone, traded at the deadline. But the point still stands.

Good call, I missed that my fault. Still have some solid first year guys that have found there way in Harmer and Cloutier...so a solid top 9 none the less.

News to me Chernyshov came over and was playing in Saginaw. Missed that one.
Just stat checking, but looks like the kid is barnstorming the league. Those numbers are wild.

Nice performance last night. Hawery looks the part. Haltunnen finding the open ice and letting it rip. Both his goals came out as fast as they went in… could barely tell what happened.

The events of the past week should open some eyes and keep the team on the straight and narrow going forward.

Pardon my post, as I’m not a proponent of drunk driving (that needs to be said apparently on this forum, for people to understand), but has there been any indication that Allen will return this year from the org or anyone else? Or is it generally accepted that his season is done?

We're in a "wait and see" and now we've moved on to discuss other things like...

tonight's game.
Meds starts.
No Hawery (sigh).
Soo debut new goalie.

Aboflan?

I wonder if Sim and B. Martin will be chatting!

I mean when Sim said what he said Martin actually said he laughed because it was a good one he had not heard before. I imagine they will have another laugh about it.

Looking a little tired out there tonight.

Edit: I guess the Greyhounds didn't notice

Gotta feel for the rookie goalie. Tough to be playing your first game against the Knights in London.

Especially when the rest of your team doesn't show up.

Rough start for the new goalie... you're not in Collingwood anymore, Noah.
He needs to protect the top half of the net.
It's Miller time.

 

[Otto]

No penalties in the first. Beautiful.

Whenever I see Easton Cowan do something amazing on the PK I'm instantly reminded of how Dave Cameron screwed over our world junior team.

 

[Knights Watcher]

Looks like we are playing the SSM Grey Puppies

 

[nelli27]

Spencer...good game.
No London PPs!
Another 2 points...

 

[ArielNederland]

Kitchener lost to kingston in regulation. Windsor lost in ot. What a good knight

 

[Knights Watcher]

Spencer...good game.
No London PPs!

Spencers best game of the season. Played physical which is good considering he can use his size to his advantage.
No complaints about PPs. Pretty clean game and Refs let them play.
Good hustle by every line. Took their foot off the gas in the third and pretty much coasted.

 

[LDN]

Good win! Rest up for Monday

 

[M21]

The line of Boulton-Van Gorp-Van Bommel had a strong game. Showed a lot of hustle all night.

 

[ArielNederland]

The win against the greyhounds gave Dale hunter his 993rd win

 

[EastVsWest]

Especially when the rest of your team doesn't show up.

Absolutely nuts to throw that kid in against the Knights for his first O appearance.

 

[M21]

The line combinations tonight (forwards and defence) should be the ones used for the rest of the year. Balanced scoring and strong defensive play (mostly). The last two games were very impressive and there was only a bit of letdown due to the games basically being over early. The goaltending just needs to sharpen up a bit and stop giving up a soft goal every game.
