You must be a leafs fan. Would prefer a high scoring regular season, and be satisfied with losing out in 1st round. Petes are up 3-2 in OHL finals, and you are complaining about their style of play and how they got here. Wow.

London Knights rebound to force Game 6 with the Peterborough Petes
Updated: Owen Beck suspended for two games after slew-footing match penalty.

Yeah slewfoot match penalty is automatic 2 games. League will review, but it was textbook.
Not surprised by the outcome in London yesterday....the 1 goal lead in the first was nice but I figured they would need at least a 2 goal lead and a rattled rookie goalie to beat a Knight's team playing at home in a must win game. London is a younger team but a strong team. It's the OHL playoffs where the only guarantee is that the momentum is going to shift, a lot!
So much of the positive energy that players get at this point of the season comes from bounce back situations. The bounce back is the strongest when the preceding loss is worse. It's like the bounce of a lacrosse ball; when it falls from a higher point it will bounce back stronger. The Petes have already experienced this.
- Game 5 in Ottawa with a 3 goal lead heading into the 3rd, give up 4 goals and lose 5-4 in a series clinching game.
The bounce back - Game 6 they outshoot the 67s in the 1st and 2nd period back at the PMC building up a 4-1 lead.......
- Game 5 in North Bay, outshot 39-14 in the first two periods, trailing 6-2, OUCH
The bounce back - Game 6 they outshoot Battalion 44-29 including 31-18 in the first 2 periods back at the PMC........
- Game 5 in London, outshot 16-8 in the first period and despite playing an OHL championship clinching game against a rookie goalie, they come up flat. IMO they played less physical and less inspired - they wanted to win but were hoping it would happen the easy way.
The bounce back - Game 6 back at the PMC, facing adversity. Owen Beck? and an underdog if it goes to game 7 in London. They need to use the crowd, the sting of losing last game and the adversity to fire them up with a fast start.
I hope the Game 6 trend continues for the Maroon and White.

Slewfoot is automatic suspension unless the OHL somehow manages to avoid that (not happening). At this point just waiting for official confirmation but it’s essentially a done deal. No Beck for the rest of the series

They need to leave it all on the ice so they can be OHL champions for the rest of their lives

That’s why I added the laughing face on the end cuz it was an obvious joke… I love Beck and he has been a huge part of our success these playoffs and it is undoubtedly a shame we have lost him, however it will NOT define our season. We can still win this

The good news is the Petes have a deep forward group. Some of which haven’t been used much. Every time Page gets on he seems to generate something. He’s rarely given the opportunity to play top minutes but every time he does he scores. McAllum is young but can definitely hold his own on 4th line. Lefebvre given the fact he’s a 19 year old rookie and been given lots of opportunity without scoring I think he’s a hard worker and can also step in when need be.
I have to admit I'm a bit nervous now. And frustrated with Beck. But...there's something about this team that reminds me a bit of 1996. It was mentioned earlier in this thread that they finished 4th this year and yet have taken out the top 2 teams in the conference. Sort of like '96 when they just came together and kept defying the odds. I hope it continues tomorrow night. It would be nice if Simpson came up with a "vintage" Simpson game, where he's nearly unbeatable.
Of course it's not all on him, but that would help. I hope they really test London's goalie. Pepper him and get traffic at the net. Without Beck they might need some of the more grinding types to do the dirty work around the net and get deflections, rebounds, etc.
I just hope Northern Voice keeps his perfect playoff predictions going and it's over tomorrow. Should be a lot of fun!

I agree. Get players like Stillman, Page, Dubois grinding at the net and shoot lots of pucks, the goals will come. Simpson needs to be Simpson and the Petes will be fine. Too late to work on PP so gotta beat them with what works.

The boys can do it. Too much talent on this team to lose the way they did yesterday and not come back with a win in home arena. The PMC will be loud tomorrow night cheering on the Petes. I don’t doubt London will come out strong tomorrow but we know the Petes are the stronger team. Go Petes Go.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Late to the convo here but the hit on Spearing was a head shot and the dude knew Spearing has a broken jaw. Federkow friggin aimed for his head. And yet another Pete is suspended deep into the playoffs.
I heard Spearing got a hit to the head, but didn't see anything about it. Hope he can go tomorrow. Frankly, seems like a typical London move.
Yes it was a deliberate hit to the head. The league needs to do better on infractions like this. There’s lots of video they can look at it prior to tomorrow’s game and make a decision. If Beck is gone for 2 games and the other guy isn’t even hurt then the head shot should be automatic 5 games.
Knights fan here under parlay... Sadly i had a tree sitting in front of me obstructing my view of the hit. Can someone direct me to video of it? I want to see for myself if he got hit in the grille. Thats a fair request, no?
is othmann banged up? would love to see him really drive the bus for a least a game...haven't seen much of him all year but seems like he's been a bit of a passenger as far as being a constant presence. would hope he'd be a pretty constant presence whether that's bringing energy and physicality or stretches being a big part of some dominant offensive attacks. he hasn't been bad, just kinda quiet energy-wise and his offense has been flashes of nice plays between lulls. feel like at the world juniors, no matter what role he was in he was a presence. would be a good time to step up and have a monster game.
either way i'm all in on the petes bandwagon...looking forward to seeing that building again tomorrow
