London Knights 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part VII

[Snippit]

17-1 shots 5v5.

 

[Holden Caufield]

Knights looked good. Definitely the hungrier team in that 1st period.

 

[nelli27]

Moncton 1 shot on goal that period at even strength.
Stay out of the box. Sim took that costly major penalty in last year's Memorial Cup. Deja vu.
Frustrating going into the dressing room tied.

Wildcats drawing penalties.

 

[Ferguson Jenkins]

Margins are too thin in a tournament like this to not be finishing your chances and having to play officiating games. Sorry, the truth hurts.

 

[Otto]

Tried to buy 50/50 tickets but I'm out the area lol. TY Quebec. That's a crap ton of $ you left on the table for a charity by not registering in another province or finding a way to allow to Ontario n Western provinces to purchase. (not sure of east coast)
Oh well.

I'm going to guess language laws play into it

 

[ArielNederland]

Need to stop taking penalties!!! Especially since scoring goals is hard to come by

 

[JagrBomb93]

Penalties are going to be the factor…we are dominating 5 on 5…Stay out of the box!!!!

 

[M21]

Stay out of the box. Definitely. Score on your chances. For sure. But you can’t tell me Moncton hasn’t done anything worthy of a penalty.

 

[GangGreen]

Hard to believe yet again the other team does not deserve a penalty while being completely outplayed the whole game

 

[GangGreen]

Sims was a weakass call. Nurmi's was just stupid, as was Van Gorps.

No doubt but we are a bilingual country ( to appease one province and Ontario must.....ok ill stop lol) or at least the eastern half is bilingual. JMO but short sighted when it's a Canada wide tourney, it's for charity, and you wanna limit it?
No biggie, their loss.
There had to be a way to make it accessible to more people but it is Quebec. Maybe it was Quebec only, or the rest of Canada only. In that case I appreciate thecrestrictions (as stupid as they are)

 

[Fastpace]

Same thing, nothing has changed, Knights dominate in every department, including the trips in the sin box.

According to the referees, only green are in the wrong.

 

[Otto]

That was a hell of a shift by Landon Sim

 

[rve24]

Moncton 1 shot on goal that period at even strength.

Van Gorp took a bad one as well. JMO but VanGorps was the easier call. Sims was close, i can see both sides....seen that get let go often, finishing a check. A second to late for the stripes. Their call. Van Gorp took 2 minutes of momentum away n let the Moncton PP get their feet wet before the 2nd PP. (On an easy call)
VanGorp did respond with a good shift outta the box.

LK with a solid 1st period. Just gotta stick with it.

But Rousseau dies worry me.

 

[JagrBomb93]

Warrior shift by Sim with no twig

 

[rve24]

Pucks to their D (in particular Morin) in LK zone would be a concern for me. (both 5on5 n esp on PP)
All in all stick with it n kerp pushing. ( I'm just ending the 1st on pvr))

I'm not going to dig into this any more than I have. But this isn't something the CHL has any control over. It sounds like there is no agreement between Ontario and Quebec for allowing lotteries cross border

Most contest in Canada exclude Quebec so makes sense it goes the other way.

 

[SaneKnightsfsn]

Our guys are playing scared of getting a call
Does anybody have the stats on the tournament penalties? Think they missed a couple calls , Kasper got high sticked
And there was another one . I would like to see a little less Monty a maybe some more Read .

Appreciated. I figured it was a legislative BS reasoning.

 

[rve24]

Play thru the BS, stick to the plan.
The 2nd PP goal doesn't happen if Cowan doesn't turn it over in the O zone, middle of ice, trying to make a play. But the kid is a playmaker looking to make a difference. Sometimes patience is needed.
All good, just keep pushing..

Read seems to more often than have a positive shift. Whether it's him directly forcing play or just circumstance. But I'd trust throwing him out esp with last change to add a different dynamic.

Edit...missed trip at 637 left in 2nd. It's almost comical at this point in the post season, but play thru it.
