Who is that moron ?

What a great game, even though Oshawa came up short it was a heavyweight battle for 60+ minutes.

It was bad enough to let Cowan get behind the defense for a shorthanded breakaway goal - - I can’t believe Oshawa let the same thing happen again in overtime. But that would require some pre game instruction or in-game adjustments, neither of which have occurred in Oshawa this year.

And this is what I mean about the coaching discrepancy in the OHL. On one bench you’ve got a coach who’s won nearly 1,000 games and on the other bench you’ve got a guy who’s never even coached a peewee house league hockey team before this year.

Incidentally, Leafs President Brendan Shanahan was in attendance to watch this one tonight. Impeccable timing for Cowan to light it up with three goals. If the Leafs were thinking of including him in a deadline trade, you have to wonder if Shanahan might reconsider that idea after seeing this one.

Well I guess the 3 fight rule wasn't a deterent tonight as some suggested yesterday. Both Sim n Bolts were ready to go.
Like was said last night, they let Sam stand up for himself and rightfully so.
Notice that the player Boulton fight jumped the bench to replace the goalie? ( someone said Bolts would get 10 for that last night if he fought, both legit line changes IMO and no biggie)

Long Reach, why the hate lol. The kid fills a necessary role on the team, why not get on Halts the higher drafted Euro?
It's about building a team. And maybe the Hunters thought he would be a good fit on a deep balanced offensive squad? Maybe ge is filling the role asked?

Sometimes it's nice just to enjoy a very good team, maybe that's just me.

If a player leaves the bench, with intent to fight. It’s a 10 game suspension, weather the refs call it that way or see it that way, is a different story. But you can’t leave the bench, with the intent to fight. Not sure why you disagree with that, it’s a black and white rule.

I also, still believe the 3 right rule is a deterrent for guys, the only way Sim was fighting tonight was if someone instigated on him. He threw a big hit early and was waiting for someone to challenge him, so he could go and be instigated upon.

Boulton knew what he was doing tonight and was pre mediated that he wanted Danford, they don’t really care if the lose him for 2 games. Sim on the other hand, is the leading goal scorer, im sure they want to keep him in the lineup, which is why he likely won’t be fighting, unless someone instigates him.

This team misses Allen, too bad his chances of coming back are slim ( depending on court ruling)

Hey Ariel. Does it sound like Allen won’t be back at all ?? I understand that dui is wrong and if you , me or Cam Allen does it we should be charged and held accountable. I just don’t get the part about taking your or my job away or Cam Allen’s career/ job away . Like weather it’s a fine Or incarceration or probation why is does the person have to lose their job ??
You have to pay your dues with the law and yourself and most of all anyone you may hurt but you still have to carry on with your life and put a roof over your head so why take away someone’s livelihood.

That was so awesome!! Love beating Oaster again the same way Whoooo!

Yeah, like I said at the game, he got cross checked in the third. They met up at the benches. I don’t know who initiated it, but he threw his stick and went down the tunnel.

Yeah that Vanflet guy hits him into the boards after he score. He get injured 2 min penalty is a joke. Where’s the suspension.

Only if Boulton or Sim do the same thing. Otherwise it’s OK as far as the refs are concerned. A total joke.

What a pathetic and small minded person for wishing an injury on a 19 year old kid he doesn’t even know because he plays for a team he doesn’t like. I could wish he falls out the front door of his trailer and has to enter concussion protocol but I don’t because I’m better than that. What a loser

How many times do we get other teams posters coming into the knights page saying something smart. This video from twitter should get posted on the Gen page
lol

I don't disagree with you at all. I just think that if the league just let Allen back, there would be a witch hunt against him by some people.

We will see if the league gives the Swha player 10 games I guess. I could be wrong but thought he jumped on for the tender on a delayed penalty to Bolts and the fight was on. Again I could be wrong on the player. Maybe someone with it still recorded can see.

I’m just saying, you don’t need to go across the pond for defensive forwards. Quite honestly, I don’t understand why this is even a discussion.

I will say this I think there is a lot of palm greasing and politics involved in getting the drafted import kids to report. Agents, drafted teams etc. come into play. The Knights are one of the very best at getting their choices to report. Possible bringing Nurmi who certainly doesn't hurt the team may be payback or a future investment in another player showing up. And agreed a lot of London fans had the kid as a Haltunen 2.0 which clearly he isn't his game is much different. Also have thought since the WJC he has stepped it up a bit?

 

[Matt93]

Was the Oshawa announcer correct when he said it was Cowans first career hat trick? I find that hard to believe.
