Team of the Century meet the 2024-25 Knights (they're not too bad, eh?). Don't get me started about the 2004-05 team...I won't shut up. You won't see a team dominate like that team did. 5 losses heading into the last weekend of the season, 5 losses! Rested a handful of stars, ended up with only 7 losses on the season...(59-7-2).Ok, I'll stop talking about that team...as long as you check out the goals against that season. Ridiculous.

Back to the present...Knights win 7-3.
Congrats on the Hamilton Spectator Trophy... don't stop there.
Lardis may lead the league in goals with 70, but I'd bet Hawery (8 goals) leads with most goals PER "minute of ice time". Someone do the math. Who's bored?
Doyle said O'Reilly out (just precautionary). The problem is I don't trust Doyle...check that. I rarely trust Doyle.
Are they auctioning off those jerseys? I need something to wear to Medieval Times (in Toronto).
I don't know if this is true, but it's a fact: Luchanko just booked a bus to Lehigh the day after the regular season ends.
Good to see a healthy Jenken back in the Guelph lineup.

Those jerseys are terrible, but now I feel I’m probably insulting a make-a-wish…

Great to see the 05 team, if this was a lockout year this team would be right there…. I said it at the beginning of the season we could be as good, well we clinched first at 51 wins with 6 games to play, that is something.

This is a special team. Go Knights!!!

The poster they gave away tonight and the team they were celebrating! Can't believe it was 20 years ago. Back when the players on the ice were older than me 😅

Cowan is heating up at the right time!

Spencer earned some good will with that fight.

Cover first point!

Hawery is very talented.

Van Bommell continued to play well!

Elliot let in a couple soft goals.

Tomorrow will be a physical one!
 
I am guessing Barkey, O’Reilly will be out tonight. Likely being back Sim and Boulton back into the lineup to contend with the physical stuff that Guelph will bring. We know that they will be upset by last nights game and bring some serious muck up to the game.

Dickinson is currently at 82 points. 5 points from London Knights Dman record of 87 (Bouchard and Corriveau)
 
For those of us who have the good fortune to have watched for several years it's really no surprise but Dale and the Coaching staff have this team coming together at just the right time. Let's not forget the past few games we have been missing Allen and Barkey, Sim, Boulton. It's kinda scary for the opposition to try and come to grips with just how deep this Knights team is this season. The expectations on the guys are huge and sadly anything except a Memorial Cup will feel like an under achievement. But wow it's been fun to watch, let's go getter boys we all know what your capable of.

Dickinson is currently at +61 if he finishes at that level or above it'll be the highest +/- on the Knights since 04/05 when Syvret was +70 and Perry was +66

Syvret holds the internet era record tied with Morgan Frost of the Soo ( 17/18)

As great as he has played offensivly he still has some work to do to remove the occasional give aways he suffers from. But what a skater he is so smooth, definitely he was worth the price we paid to get him. Syvret was such a complete defenseman and leader it still amazes me the challenges he faced as a professional? Otto he was a good ole Millgrove boy wasn't he?

Dickinson has to have the most pure skill of a defenseman that we’ve ever seen in a Knight’s uniform

Perhaps so ... he is a good one. These guys were no slouches : Rammage, Wideman, Carlson, Bouchard, Marsh, Girardi, Green, Zadorov, Hutchinson, Mete

Yes but 6’3 210 amazing skater, great stick, two way guy. Top 11 NHL pick. I just think he has more pure skill and upside.
