London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part VI

[LDN]

Should Medvedev get the start in game 4?

 

[nelli27]

Big guns came through.
Top line + Dickinson = win.

 

[LDN]

Awesome stuff! Owen Sound is tough to beat!

 

[Buttsy]

Couldn't have said it any better. Now let's get Monty going.

I recall a 4-5 week window where the kid was almost unstoppable. Not sure what was the trigger for that Montgomery but we need him back! Again generally doesn’t cost us (?) (well mostly) but man he can add so much when he is on fire.

 

[Buttsy]

Hats off to the boys will take the win and look to close it out Thursday. Have to compliment this team …. No BS rubbing it in the faces of this young OS team. Score a goal, celebrate conservatively and line up for the draw. Proud of the guys truly look like a team on a mission. As much crap as a Knights team gets spewed on them they are behaving like true winners!

This is a good point. Owen Sound is a good young team a deserves respect. Our top line is really clicking. Need to see a bit more secondary scoring, but overall could you have asked for a better result in the 3 games?

I do think London has another gear. I may be a broken record in saying this, but this team looks more unstoppable when they hit that level.

Good to get the win, defense and goaltending need to tighten up though. Flint beat kitchener, saginaw beat erie. So windsor soo, flint kitchener, and saginaw erie series all guaranteed to go at least 5 games. Hopefully we can wrap up series soon to get some rest

Agreed rest is needed

Should Medvedev get the start in game 4?

I don't know about starting Medvedev, in mid-series, if Elliott isn't hurt. I will say Elliott looks too comfortable out there. Only losing one game all season, would tend to play tricks on the over-confident goalie. Losing one may not hurt him at all

 

[Fastpace]

Despite winning games, I don't see the Knights playing the full 20-man team yet. There is still much to work on as the series moves on. If they want that return trip to the big "M" Tourney this spring. Let's not forget, this is the eighth seeded team they are playing.

He was playing with Barkey.
Everyone is better when they play with Barkey…

 

[Millpond]

The Knights contingent were polite respectful and loud
They cheered on their team and the Knights took advantage if the Attack defensive shortcomings .

Allen spent most of the 3rd planted on the bench, not sure why.

6 Attack players are rookies, taking regular shift. 3 of those rookies are playing top 6 minutes .

The difference in talent and experience is obvious.

 

[crowncarrier]

Allen really doesn’t win many one on one battles. Need a lot more from a 19 year old NHL pick.

He's fine....he's coming off a 15 game suspension. He will find his stride. Also it gives the other guys time to rest. He's huge for the Knights and long run in the playoffs.

 

[M21]

The Bayshore is a great arena to watch a game. All seats are close to the ice and the fans are welcoming to visitors. A must for all OHL fans. And the Inn on the Bay next door is a nice place to stay.

Should Medvedev get the start in game 4?

Why on earth would he????

 

[LDN]

Why on earth would he????

Elliot has been shakey (I know he is 3-0), but his SV% is .889 …. Why not give Medsy the start and see how he performs? If he wins it he gets game one of round 2

 

[LDN]

Need the following to step up in game 4:
Bonk
Nurmi
Nicholl
Montgomery
Brzustewicz
Allen

 

[LDN]

Dude Jared Woolley has been awesome so far! What a beast. Is he the #2 D right now?

your up 3-0 not down 2-1, take a breath

 

[LDN]

For sure, but the depth is needed for a long run

So you must feel that Carter George deserves a rest too.

Awful idea. Risk the confidence of your starting goalie is not a good thing. Elliot has been fine.

As an Attack fan I'm probably not supposed to say this but I really like Wooley great d man. Also want to echo the statement that all Knights fans were very cool last night. Loud and Supportive but respectful at the same time.

 

[StormWatcher]

This is a yes/and situation. Elliott has not looked solid, and also, the Knights are winning anyway and to sit him would definitely plummet his confidence/make his performance worse.

Really? He seems like the type to not get shaken by that. A rest may be good for him and nice for Medsy to get a playoff start. Just saying Medsy had a good year as well!
