London Knights 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part VII

[nelli27]

Ah ok if uour giving Cowan a penalty for that but how about the cross check punch in the head by 4 Rimoski players Cowan took . And no penalty on the Barkey hit ???

Nichol officiating....need I say more?

 

[Ferguson Jenkins]

Typical with Nichol officiating. He was a shit player for Guelph and has had an agenda against London since he put the stripes on.

 

[Tryblot]

How many times has the supposed best team in the country embellished to get a call?

I don't understand why they do this. I grew up in London but started noticing during last years playoffs, saw it during this years and am seeing it now in the memorial cup.

For a team that is so good, they shouldn't be resorting to cheap tactics to win. It's f***ing embarrassing, but it's consistent.

Try blot Are you referring to the Cowan penalty?

Against moncton it was bonk, then Cowen, and then there was someone else all in the third. I forget who the third person was but it was pretty obvious.

Wow. Interference on Dickinson ?? Tsn no comment no real replay. No questioning on a possible bad call Same at the Montgomery inference penalty. Not saying the knights are perfect but cmon Ref calls very questionable

Same as last year. Host team gets both the favourable schedule and favourable officiating.

Happened in St John in 2022. Hamilton got jobbed in that championship game.

Oofph.

Thats a terrible tripping call

Question about the tournament schedule. Rimouski and Moncton play every other day. Medicine Hat are on their second day off. And Knights play 3 games in 4 days.

It rotates. Away Leagues always have back to backs.

Thanks

Hunter sure is having a busy night, if only that was the brother playing

 

[M21]

Knights being dominated on faceoffs. Constantly chasing the puck because of it.

 

[go_leafs_go02]

3-1 with less than 2 to play.

Top of the Table. Guessing Knights would be for sure in the semi-final if they hold on to win tonight.

 

[go_leafs_go02]

3-0 all time against Rimouski

 

[Otto]

Dale Hunter now has the most wins in tournament history.

Knights guaranteed at least a semi final berth

 

[Fastpace]

Knights win their second game 3-1 over Rimouski

London played a tired game, but found a way to win it.

They played last night, but they back to back games all season, they shouldn't have been this tired group, perhaps they partied too late, who knows. All in all, another strong effort by the Knights to get this win.

Next, Tuesday night at 7pm against Western champions Medicine Hat. They'll need to be rested up for that one.

 

[Ferguson Jenkins]

Despite the best efforts of the french ref and Nichol, Knights win. Maybe Rimouski can pay to play in another tournament in 10-15 years.

 

[TheOrangePylon]

Hopefully Sim is okay for Tuesday, don’t believe he took a shift after he went off in the 2nd with what looked like a foot/ankle injury. He was still on the bench for the third, so hopefully a sign it’s not too bad.

 

[SaneKnightsfsn]

Love to hear what Dale said to the refs when he was walking off the ice

 

[Fastpace]

So far, of the last QMJHL 6 Memorial Cup games, their teams are 0-6, including Drummondville's three games losses last year in Saginaw.

 

[SaneKnightsfsn]

Schedule favours us now. Get a days rest play Medicine Hat on there 2nd day of 2 in a row

 

[nelli27]

Who's the schedule maker? That home and home series vs Rimouski sure took a long time to play....20 years.
Great start to the tournament...rest up.
Sim returned for (at least) one shift after getting injured, and skated hard...spent the rest of the 3rd on the bench...precautionary?
Elliott has been playing well. Still don't know how he snagged that puck with the big Latvian screening him.
Barkey obviously not at 100% but still an asset. Struggled though to clear the puck out of the zone on multiple occasions. I'm knit-picking....
Well done!
As for Mac Nichol....In the 2011-12 season, he played for Guelph. He had 3 fights that season...one was against the Knights on March 9, 2012 and he went -2 in that game. What am I implying? Nothing at all. Just a fun fact.
