London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part VI

Kitchener continues making the same mistakes over and over when constructing their teams.

It's size, or a lack thereof mixed with not enough physicality.

I'm sure u guys know better than anyone playing them so often. They don't target the Max Mccues, Landon Sims of the world.

They go after the Mesar, Arcuri, Zhilkin, Rehkopf, Sale, Pridham, Humphreys of the world. Elite players. Very skilled. But not guys who are gonna win battles, crash the net, make life hard in other teams.

Thought theyd work on it but then they draft 5'7 Headrick, Romano who's 5'11, Lam who's 5'9, Ellis who's 5'10 & got Valentini who's 5'9. Great players or will be, but they'll have the same issues prior stars did for them come playoffs. Physically overmatched, overwhelmed.

They keep doubling down on it too as 3 of their first 4 picks this past weekend were on kids who are 5'10".

That's my opinion anyway lol. I know I wasn't asked/not Sting board but us teams golfing are bored 😂
Excellent points.
 
Sure glad they decided not to scratch Dickenson
Hey look, Dickinson decided to play like the player he can be! First two games were the worst of his season and if you didn’t see it you either didn’t watch or your glasses were a bit too green. Nice to see him back (as I said he would)

I’m sure the reasons are not talked about but anyone hear anything about Eries starting goalie? He isn’t even dressed. Maybe a head injury however it could be as simple as a bad case of redness on the back of his neck….

He left game 2 on his own accord, injured. He took at least 3 really hard shots to the head and told his coach he couldn’t play anymore while pointing to his head. My guess, concussion.
 
Knights win the series' third game by a 4-0 score to take a 3-0 lead

I think the London Knights team has arrived for this year's playoffs run
Austin Elliott has made the necessary adjustment and has also upped his play a notch
The team is playing on all pistons, they have the team feeling now

Will close this series on Thursday
 
Congrats to the boys, only saw the highlites unfortunately but appears like Austin was really solid between the pipes. At some point during these playoffs we are going to need him to be at the top of his game so great to see him turn in a solid complete game for us! 3 down 1 to go ……
 
I was sleeping because of nigh shift and got up put Stubbs on while getting dressed. Missed first 15-16 minutes. Grabbed Salsa deep wife bought me and put game with two minutes left in first. Wholly crap The what a last minute. They say it is demoralizing to score one in last month minute but 3 in 31 seconds. I have been watching hockey and playing it for over 65 years. WOW! Close it out Thursday.

A very impressive team win. Looked like the goal was to shut Erie down at home and mission accomplished. That was a playoff hockey road win. Elliott was at his best and the 30 some seconds in the last minute of the first was killer instinct at its finest. The PK was flawless as well. Games like this are what wins championships
