no need to .. we have the best in the league already .. i say this because rick & greg know hockey .. they are not homers .. and they call it as it is .. they even offer tactictal solutions to other teams on how to beat the knights systems .. how often have we heard anyone else offer suggestions on how to beat the home team ? .. i've listened to all the announcers in the league for over 25yrs .. and this post is NOT a slight against OS (or Windsor) .. some are clearly better than others, but none approach the professionalism of rick & greg .. based on past comments i expect some blow back on this, but the entire knights organization is run as close as possible to professional standards .. rick, greg & sophie hold the positions that they do *because they are the *best at what they do !!!

Ummmm the games are on TSN so Rick and Greg will not be doing them. I was saying that instead of TSN bringing in two guys that likely do not know the OHL very well it would be cool to bring in an impartial group like the crew from Owen Sound to do it.
It will probably be the same crew that did last year. They were marginal at best and beat the same stories to death every game. It’s a shame the league took the $$$ and shut out the local broadcasts that are the heart of junior hockey.
Found the account for Doyle or Sloans grandkid.
Most times Sloan has no idea why the whistle blew or what happened during the play. He also messes up players names constantly.
Doyle has a vocabulary of about 10 words and those include campaign, pulls down, etc.
Both say the same things over and over again.
While they are not the worst in the OHL, they are FAR from the best.
Everyone should do themselves a favour and play AM980 on their phone and then pause your TV at puck drop. When Stubbsy says “the puck drops” unpause your TV and you’ll be able to enjoy a real broadcaster while watching the game.

Oshawa has several legit OHL star players. If we’re being honest London hasn’t even faced a star player in any playoff series yet (except goalies).
Definitely brings a new element. More game planning. Stricter line matching and more important to stay out of the box. Even with Knights top end PK… Oshawa has a PP1 that is more dangerous than anything we’ve seen. Probably not a good idea to flirt with that as much as we did in the first 3 rounds…

It is crazy that both London and Oshawa has sold their home game tickets for the OHL Final without the OHL Releasing the Schedule.
Realistically OHL has had a couple weeks to set up dates for the final they knew which senerios it was going to be between Kitcherner/London, Barrie/Oshawa.
Than again this is the OHL they never fail to amaze us with being incompitent.

Here is the WHL schedule for reference. If TSN wants back to back games then I can see the OHL doing Friday/Sunday.

If I never hear, "everybody up and in tight " again I could probably die peacefully. What an asinine phrase.

that is probably my least favorite of hisOr "drop the load". Sometimes "drop the payload".
That’s what’s the key. Oshawa has more top end guns. The key is keeping Oshawa off the PP.
Without Barkey, Cowan hasn’t had the same kinda space out there. We need Julien, Halttunen and Montgomery to be stars and make a difference or else we are done….
Elliott will need to up his game and be ready to face 30 shots a game.
With this in mind, I think Oshawa will surprise a lot of Knights fans and wouldn’t be surprised if they win it.

I think Oshawa built their team this year with this series in mind.

I think someone mentioned that Barkey came on the ice after game 4 with a crutch but no boot/cast. Is that right?
I noticed the crutch, not his footwear.

This years final won’t be like last year. Oshawa is a much better team and looking for revenge. If Barkey can’t go the Knights will have to trap trap trap to perfection and capitalize on their chances and stay out of the penalty box. Improve their pp and get top notch goaltending. Hunter coaching will have to be the difference.
