Not having their starting goalie sunk them. They were always a run and gun team this year but with no decent tender to let them play that style, they really didn’t stand much chance. Erie played well too, Misiak had a good series for Erie.
Not sure if Terrance and/or Schaefer returns. I watched tonight's game, rough, nasty...just like playoff hockey should be. #25 has words with Misiak as they lined up for handshake....refused to shake Misiak's hand (embellished a slash he received from #25 late in the game).
Looking forward to kicking Eries ass! Sweet Caroline my asssssssss
They beat a London team with 10 of their top players out of the lineup. They beat a Junior B team that game. But with that said motivation is motivation and it’s a good thing Owen Sound played the Knights hard so the team doesn’t take any opponent for granted. But again game 68 had 10 regulars out of the lineup.
It does not matter in the world of motivation. It could have been a full Junior C team dressed in London Knights jerseys, for all they care the result would have been the same if all London top players played. By beating a London Knights team, a spark lit up a big flame of positive thinking in all the minds of the Erie players. When you have 20 minds thinking the same, no matter how it got there, it can carry a team a long way. Not saying they are better than London, just that the Knights will likely face a well lubed team, if not careful.
Knights sent out an email Thursday night that said Thursday/Saturday
They need a wake up call after there high of beating our rookie line up in the final game and after beating Saginaw in round 1
Confirmed
Let’s hope the boys are licking their chops at the opportunity to play Erie. Should be a fun series! They are more high octane than I expected
I watched the game last night. Erie looked big and fast and their goalie is solid. That said, I thought Saginaw looked sloppy most of the game, had little defensive structure to their game and at times seemed a bit disinterested. I think Erie will be a good test for London but I believe they showed better because of who they were playing.
