London Knights 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part VII

[Sal Iaccuzzo]

It wasn't even the right player. Looked like the leg contact was Griffin.

Gibson knees someone to cost Canada in the WJC, kneed Lardis, kneed Sim. It's a pattern.

Kick his ass

The Oshawa favouring by the refs has, in a small part, led to an injured Knights player. Don’t call a game correctly and players start to take liberties thinking there will be no consequences.

 

[Buttsy]

Will be kinda cool if the boys can win it in Game 5 in London. Sweeps are great but it normally means in Londons case they are celebrating on the road!!

 

[Fastpace]

London takes a commanding 3 games to 1 series lead with a 6-2 win tonight over Oshawa

I did not expect to see the Knights playing this good tonight, super 60-minute effort

Jeez, we even got little help from the stripes team, hurry up, go get them a green jersey

Let's bring it home on Thursday boys, and get some well deserved to rest before the big "M" Tourney

I don't mean to state the obvious, but holy shit are the Knights ever dominant.

Gibson will have a target on his back.

 

[SaneKnightsfsn]

These announcers say nothing about how that was a dirty hit like it was nothing
Gibson should be gone I hope that hit gets a league review

 

[crowncarrier]

To me the Sennece knee was worse as it looked to me that he changed his angle and used his knee on purpose. Gibsons knee looked to me like Woolleys where he doesnt change the angle and is just going in for a hit while Sim tried to get out of the way.

London's dominance doesn't surprise me at all. Especially in back to back games with their depth. Gibson is a dirty player. That "hit" deserves a suspension but I'd rather see him play and face the music.

Hopefully Sim is ok. Don't want it to be 2 players Gibson put out in the playoffs.

 

[Ferguson Jenkins]

As I said last week, Gibson and Sennecke are an embarrassment to the sport, especially being larger than 90% of the players on the ice.

Very classy by Oshawa booing an injured player. Thought we were in Windsor for a second.

Did I mention this league and its officiating staff and supplementary discipline crew can f*** its own face?

 

[crowncarrier]

London wins 6-2 but it easily could have been much closer. Oshawa whiffed and/or missed the net 4 or 5 times where they had and open net or Elliott would have had to make a crazy save. The difference like many game the Knights play .... the Knights buried their chances while the opposition did not.

I agree ! They are all serious hits, if one does get suspended for a similar hit, so should the others as well

Yeah but let’s not forget Woolly hit was called 5 min on the ice. They reviewed it and he got thrown out and a game suspension. This Woolly play and the Gibson hit should be sent in for review side by side I think the league needs to justify why Gibson gets only 2

 

[Holden Caufield]

Does Kasper get the pink slip to the Oshawa franchise ? My god he owns them and that building.

The reach and finish on his 2nd goal… what a play and what a performance by him !

Thought Woolley stood out as having a great game too.

And Woolley got 5:00 and a suspension

Malone essentially said in the press conference that he gave up on his team at the end of the second period

Way to go Kasper !!!

 

[shootscore115]

atleast Hunter mentioned the dirty hit by Gibson and said it wasn't any different than Wooley's kneeing suspension so it would be up to the league to determine the suplimentary discipline

They should change the name on the building to "Kasper's Place"

He knows his team better than anyone. They are very shallow and definitely aren’t built for back to backs.

He ran his horses as far as they could go… TV Timeouts or not.

 

[frontsfan67]

Was funny seeing the gens fans whining in person

Knights blew them out of the water.

What a player haltunnen is. Gens will be having nightmares about him

Yes both are the same. I never said they were different.

Is the fat lady warming up?

Don’t really disagree but you could say London would have run away with it in period 1 with some puck luck and Oster playing to his norms (average goalie at best). In any event, Elliott has been good all season. London really shut down the cross ice passes at the top of the circles as the game went on. Dale did a great job managing the lines and making little adjustments to the top 6. Just stick to the balanced D pairs I think is my only recommendation but it’s hard to nitpick the master.

From the LFP " sim had to be helped off ice and didn't return to the game. No status update for now. Barkey has been skating without the yellow ( non contact jersey) for the past couple of days. That is according to Rob Simpson.
