The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
I would rather play windsor over kitchener in the playoffs at this point. You can claim that I'm scared or whatever, but the Rangers have a goalie that could beat any team on any given night. The Knights are a great team, but I believe the Rangers are on the same level as they are

Lost in ot. Still a big point to pick up, chances of Rangers passing knights for 1st still decreasing though. Boys fought hard especially in a 3 game weekend
 
Can't win them all...but no one from the Western Conference is going to beat us in a best of 7. Season series is 3-2 London. We're the ones in the driver's seat.
And, no, Kitchener will not catch us for first overall...while it's mathematically possible, common sense should prevail.
Come playoff time, Elliott will be in net, and both teams will be equally rested.
Given the punishment we've dished out to them in recent years, on the scoreboard and in scraps, surprising to see a Kitchener fan celebrating a Campbell fight. lol! Kind of feel sorry for them.
 
I thought Alexis played ok. He made some key saves when he had too. I thought there was no support for him in first period. Spot a team 3 and force overtime is a big rebound. The one goal reminded of the attempt to clear that ended our season last season. I think they miss Allen and once that sorts itself out whichever way happens than we all can move on. Hope he is welcomed back if that is what happens.
 
Monty totally lost on that play
Yep I was there and even before they entered the zone you could see Monty trying to figure out who to cover It’s ok though! For the knights to play a 3 on 3
Come into this game go down by 3 goals , to come back and embarrass the rangers in the 2nd and 3rd was awesome. Rangers were playing scared we were all over them , out shot them out hit them. I am proud of how well they did tonight

Knights would take the Rags out in 5-6 games in any series… Parsons or whoever they put in net …. Knights are 7 points up on the Rags with 3 games in hand so my way of thinking is that Rangers are not on the same level as us ….IMHO …

Nah don’t feel sorry for him.. feel sorry for yourself.. show some class.. you guys win it almost every year.. let a fan enjoy a moment.. god forbid it’s against your precious Knights.. you lost a game for once.. tip your cap and move on.. ya you are the class of the league.. ya you will probably win it all.. cheers!
 
Nice to get a point, but need to be better! Very winnable game. Medvedev was shakey, lots of players left more to be desired. Kitchener is a dirty team and I hope we bury them physically next game. They have a bunch of small guys. We need to physically punish them

Need a Kitchener vs London playoff series!
 
Oh lovely another 3 in 3 which ends in Oshawa! Yikes. Let’s hope the boys come rested and prepared for another tough weekend

Not too sure what Sim is supposed to do when he gets horse collared, picked up and thrown head first on to the ice haha.

Ferguson made it a point to become 1st star tonight. Not the reason London loss obviously but at some point the OHL has to take a look in the mirror. Especially when they claim "player safety" as being top priority but their officials show that player safety means nothing to them as a kid gets dropped head first to the ice. Especially when it is the exact same kid who got a 2 game suspension for something that was a borderline 2 minute penalty. It is clear the officials are targeting the player at this point and he is free game for other teams.

The refereeing was a complete joke. I hate Refs and Linesman that make it about themselves (drop the puck ffs). These Refs were handing out misconducts like Halloween candy... "You get 10 minutes, you get 10 minutes, you get 10 minutes". I understand it's a developmental league for both the players and refs but sheesh.

Except the one guy who pretended to Cross Check Sim in the face never got 10 mins. Barkey talks he gets 10 minutes, Boulton talks he gets 10 minutes, Hlacar threatens to cross check Sim to the face multiple times and he does not even get a talking to. Julien was thrown out of the faceoff circle while not even moving 7 times and thrown out 3 times because he moved to soon which is fair. Those 7 times was more than all Rangers centers combined. It was quite clear the Officials had an agenda heading into this one.
