London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part V

[Otto]

Not tonight lol

Wasn't on the previous nights either.. this was my response to that post

13 goals in 3 games vs. Flint going into today.

19 goals in 5 games vs Owen Sound this season

Both are higher rates of goals against than either team is giving up as a whole this season

 

[Otto]

3 wins to get Dale to 1000

6 wins to clinch first overall

Let’s go! Hope they do both!

Would London make a bid? My guess is if Kitchener bids they get it.

I'd like to see Brampton get it so I can get tickets.

Most likely, just like bmo

Yes but he will not be an OA like Montgomery next year.

No Evan Van Gorp will start his commitment in 2027-2028. So he will play out his remaining OHL eligibility with the Knights. Meaning next year and the year after as an OA.

What was Flint thinking trading away Zurawski. Kid is going to be a beast in this league!

He wanted to play in OS, Flint accommodated.

To think.. there was a poster that suggested the Knights trade for Carter George

Not trying to start an argument but if your insinuating last nights game was due to goaltending I respectfully disagree without George in our net you guys would have had 2 converted td's at least. Truth is we have more rookies and guys whose playing time was limited under previous coaching than you gus have drafted players. This Knights team IMHO is probably top 3 Knights teams in 25 yrs. Add to that a Coach who is approaching 1000 wins and that sums it up.

I have been super impressed with Nichol of late. I expected him to drop off a touch when the bigger names came back but he has played a key role in the knights being able to balance out their top 3 lines. He is even tied for second on the team in even strength points.

Dickinson - 46
Barkey - 43
Nichol - 43
Montgomery - 41
O'Reilly - 38
Sim - 33

George has been unimpressive all season, and the Knights would not be a better team with him. He's beatable.

I get this is an unpopular opinion.

Tonight game in Niagara sold out

Tonight game in Niagara sold out

That's shocking, because they have been drawing horribly this season

To be fair you kind of answered your own quetion per say. Las nights game was about goaltending, and it proved just how DAMN GOOD George is. 6 goals on 32 shots, but he made 5-7 brilliant saves and never once got mad at his team for not performing in front of him. Guy is elite and a class act Kudos to him!

To put that into perspective London then proceeded to score their next 3 goals on their next 6 shots and Koprowski never really had to make a "big" save.

London fans

 

[dino200022]

Windsor can get to 103 points if they win out. 9-0
Kitchener can get to 105 points if they win out. 8-0

Meaning London needs to find 12 points in there next 12 games as a worst case scenario if both others go undeafeated the rest of the way.

Third sellout average a little over 3,500 per game

 

[Otto]

Third sellout average a little over 3,500 per game

Yes, and second worst year over year attendance in the league, and last year they were near the bottom also

 

[cruickshankd]

Yes, and second worst year over year attendance in the league, and last year they were near the bottom also

May I ask who has the worst attendance?

 

[Otto]

May I ask who has the worst attendance?

Year over year, not total attendance.

Ottawa has the lowest.

Yeah let’s face it Owen sound with a blip last night. They have been good We’ve been to ot twice with them I believe they recently beat either Kitchener or Windsor
There young but learning well

 

[Otto]

I don't think I would. In the last 5 games they play Windsor twice, plus they have Kitchener & Saginaw.

They will probably rest a bunch for the finale in Erie..

Yeah but if we win our next 6. Why not rest our top guys for those final 6 ?

 

[Sane Knights Fan]

Good experience for those young guys. And remember last season we played one of our final games against loaded Shawn wright spits and beat them in Windsor with our kids Those young guys ( hawrey. Mitchell , etc ) are chomping at the bit to beat a Windsor or Kitchener team. It would be fun to watch the kids beat them too in meaningless games

Because you don't want to give those three teams momentum going into the playoffs, you also don't want them to get any extra good looks at the goalies, and you want to keep your players loose.
