London Knights 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part VII

Too funny. Agreed. And the.whole dynamic (JMO)......
Not only in this case but this is an extreme one. Again, JMO but it's done the kid no favours in the long run.
I'll just leave it as some parents going to parent and I shouldn't judge......
I honesty believe if dad was shot to the moon without a cell phone ot internet, Marner would win the hart trophy.

Paul can’t get out of his ear and tell him all the negative he can find online and it screws the kid up.
 
Well we’re on the subject of Knights legend Marner… I personally can’t wait to see him get out of Toronto and wear another jersey ! Go somewhere else
I am a Leaf supporter BUT can’t help feeling they will screw this up. Marner is the guy you build around. If you ask me yes they have to make some significant changes and this should be moving out Matthews and Riley. Riley by the way was horrendous in Game 7 but for whatever reason seems to have escaped the criticism? Just way too soft when the crunch comes. Again all the “brilliant” Leaf supporters forget Marner is the set up guy if he has no one to move the puck to guess what no points from Marner. I like both Matthews and Riley as “guys” but they just can’t be counted to lead when the tough stuff arrives.
Auston instead of playing in Swiss Elite league as an 18 year old should have been in the CHL or even the NCAA battling it out in the playoffs instead of sashaying down the bunny slopes in Switzerland. But he does look good with his spiffy fashions!

We can be singling out one player at a time, pointing the finger at half dozen players, the fact is, one or a handful of players does make up the full team. The fans are truly trying to unfairly run Marner out of town, and yet his true heart is with this town.

The Maple Leafs, sadly enough, as good as they are, they are not a well-balanced team, they haven't been in quite some time. Using the majority of the cap money on six players leaves little money available to acquire players the team needs to balance out the lines and the team as a whole. Marner has likely been discussing with his agent for some time now, so I'm willing to bet he already knows where he's going to play next season. He needs to know what his values are around the league, he really can not make anything public until sometime after first of July. Marner is from Toronto, he wants to stay in Toronto and loves Toronto ! Any team that wants to take him away from Toronto, will need a lot of cash, and be in contention for the cup.

His little yelling at his teammates says a lot about which team he wants to win with, so I think he'll want to stick around even if it means taking a small pay cut.
 
Will be cool to watch this game 1 and see what these teams have to offer.
 
I don't know about Marner...but I can't find any bison burgers in London, and it's pissing me off.
I have ordered several times from these guys with great success. They deliver to your door in London

Thank you sir. I'm headed out to Covent Garden market tomorrow morning to pick up 2 packs from vendor suggested by Otto. I'll check out Bison Products/Butcher Shoppe and compare prices. Thx Geff. My pre-game meal for tomorrow's game.
 
I can’t wait for puck drop tonight, this tournament should be awesome with 4 bonafide championship calibre teams.

I wonder how McKenna will perform, this is a men’s tournament.

To all season ticket holders....early bird price down-payment is due today. And just so you're aware tickets have gone up substantially.

I predict he leads tournament in scoring- him or Cowan. Despite that I don’t think they win.

Moncton probably a better overall team. London is a better team too.

All depends how basha and Lindstrom perform. If they do real well it could take some of the focus off McKenna. Will be a good tournament and really looking forward to watching the opener tonight. Think Medicine Hat should win but ya never know with the home crowd.

If anyone is interested, Memorial Cup tickets still available to all games except the championship final. Great seats. Section 12, Row A along the glass on the visitors side. DM me if interested.
 
Not a Knights fan 😃, and certainly not a Leafs fan. I've been a Marner fan since the first time I saw him play in London. He's steadily developed since that day and turned out to be the player I expected. I'd say his scoring and defense are comparable to Gilmour but doesn't have the sandpaper.

Leaf fans are idiots.

As a Leafs fan I could not agree more with this post.
 
Interesting first game vs Rimouski and Medicine Hat. Did not expect Rimouski to be taking it to Medicine Hat.
