Has anyone heard why Van Gorp is out and being replaced by Van Bommel?

Injury?

I believe everyone is 100% I think it’s more likely that we have a full spare line and Van Bommel hits harder than gord in this particular matchup.

Time to go to work.
I expect KTown to be more emotional to start thecseries as underdogs. But both teams preach n implement patient, stick to the systems type philosophies. If LK matches the KTown GAF meter they should be OK.
Great coaching match up. Let's see what each staff can draw out of their squads.

Great history between the 2.

Yes. Harley Davidson commercial on a loop.

Guessing rust isn't a problem.

File a service ticket, they usually refund for issues.

Woah. Welcome to the Conference Finals

 

[shootscore115]

this game is like one team at 100 miles per hour and the other just starting up the car. Hopefully if you are a Ranger fan, it is just being tired. Right now only one team showed up

Absolute domination, if you are a Rangers fan you should start booking tee times.

The talent gap between these teams is continental.

Easy... it's only one period. Ask Windsor.

Julien/Sim/Nurmi line set the tone and created the 1st 2 Gs.
Scrambled draw, JJ tips back to D, Sim tips it in.
Next....Line change but Nurmi stays on forecheck, wins puck deep n changes n then 3 goes to work, G.
Posted I thought they'd be a line come POs n contribute.

 

[rve24]

Love an aggressive PK but when ya can't get sticks on pucks, it'll leave LK players open the way they rotate players n move pucks side to side.

I was at Leafs game Apr 15th prior to the playoffs and on the ice all at once were Max Domi, Mitch Marner, Dakota Mermis, and Anthony Stolarz. All 4 of these guys not only played for the London Knights but all played on the same team in 2013-14. Have you ever seen another team do something like this before? It's too bad Tavares wasn't on that team aswell.

I'd be shocked if this has happened elsewhere...pretty amazing when you think about.

The knights are not Windsor. Like I have said before..... London will not have a problem beating Kitchener.

Any type of humbleness must be on that continent too holy moly

 

[imarriedawitch]

FWIW if you're a Josh Anderson fan you gotta check out the Habs highlights.

I believe the linesman is former Knight Kyle Flemington.

 

[Knights77]

2 goals from clear cut shots that were not screened or deflected. I’m getting Simpson vibes from Elliott and that’s not good.
As long as he saves us when we need him I guess.
Great team game overall so far.

 

[M21]

Two “game management” calls in a row.

 

[crowncarrier]

First goal went in off Henry's stick. Second was a slight screen. Relax.

Odd...I hit reply to knights77....no idea why it's not connected to their post.

Refs are ridiculous.

 

[Otto]

That doesn't look good for Barkey, but it was a clean hit. Hope it doesn't lead to any ridiculousness

 

[M21]

Barkey looked like he was in a lot of pain. Hope it looks worse than it did. And naturally no penalty.

 

[rve24]

KTown headhunters lol.
Funny neither tough guy would answer 11 or 90 in a scrum n just back away, but sure tried to get involved vs 86, 7 n 55......n give them shots.
Kinda makes ya look weak. JMO.
Glad we got some jam to the game thou. Both teams looking to do what they think they need to.

 

[PoisonMushroom]

I'm at the game and didn't see what happened to Barkey, but he seemed to be in hella pain. Hopefully it's nothing serious
