Otto is advocating for his goalie. Rightfully so. And you are casting unproven dispersions of said goalie based on a single game. I doubt either will blink in this case. Best to just walk away.
Backed up with stats. No question that over the course of history certain players in this league have developed reputations and the officials and league brass have taken those reputations into account when making decisions on the ice and in the boardroom. This includes Knights players ( Todd Perry immediately comes to mind) Were either of last nights incidents intentional? Maybe, as previously said only one person knows that. Is there a pattern of behavior? The score sheets indicate no.

Want to end a silly debate that can never end with Brochu does not purposely dislodge the net?
Try something that is not up for debate, like; Brochu is a team player on a roster built of team players that do what it takes to win. It’s a Knights’ thing.
 
It happened twice in the game last night. Intent is what the question is. The fact that it's a rare occurrence shows that it most likely wasn't. Why would he pick Sudbury of all teams to all of a sudden start this?

It's funny though that you reference "Hunter Hockey " and "integrity " when the Wolves are the most penalized team in the league..
I'll take leading the league over penalties over having wonderful human beings like Dale Hunter and Logan Mailloux representing my city team in 2023. Cheers.
 
Playoff picture starting to look more clear:

OTT vs OSH
PBO vs HAM

Either NB or BAR for SBY

Mississauga has an easier remaining schedule than Sudbury - I'll predict we finish 7th & get NB

Matt Murray hasn't been called for dislodging nets this year either. Yet there were threads and conspiracy theories abound.

Best to just move on. Such a ridiculous argument.

Though I suppose internet cred is serious business to some.

Hey man.. Hunters number is hanging from your rafters 🤣
Yeah, and it should 100% be taken down, Guy put others life in danger by driving drunk and then got off on a technicality because the cops were bad at their job.
 
137 career regular season and playoff games. Only one other time he was called for delay of game and there's no guarantee that was for knocking the net off. But sure you go ahead and blame your teams loss based on the results of 0.7% of games played
I don’t care about his lifetime statistics. Last night I paid money to watch the London Knights and their very good goalie play. When the game was in the line- when the knights had a defensive breakdown instead of making a save, he lifted the net off. I think that’s an integrity issue, but that’s me. I wouldn’t be on the knights board defending krawchuck if the reversed happened. Enjoy your season. I’ve been to a couple games in London and enjoyed the area and city.

You should protest by not going to any more games.

I wouldn't be tossing out accusations on the London board based on a one game sample size. I.love Sudbury as well, great stories surrounding the infamous Wolf.

I'd say that's a good thing, no? You would have preferred they sell assets just to finish 4th this year and get rolled by Ottawa/NB etc. in the 2nd round?

Rightly so (in my opinion) the Wolves should have their eyes on next year and 2025.

TBH, I wish they had sold more this year, considering the returns.
Playoff experience and possibly winning a first round is a valuable asset going forward.

Rough and tough and even undisclined doesn’t necessarily equate to cheating.

Likely. The saving grace is we get to see the road games. Hell could be fun, we’re not expected to win anyway, all the pressure would be on them.

For arguments sake, and sorry to extend this thread, but lifting the net is a penalty... just as tripping or holding a player about to score. I really dont like a goalie doing so, but I think questioning 'integrity' maybe a stretch. The rules equate it to other minor penalties... and our Wolves have had a few (!)... and are gentlemen of character (?). In terms of repeat offenses look no further than Larmand, and those offenses are worthy of suspension, but not lifting a net.
 
not sure if rules have changed, but I thought if the net has been moved prior puck going in the net, it can be still ruled a goal? That second one called back to me was a goal.
"63.7 Awarded Goal - In the event that the goal post is displaced, either
deliberately or accidentally, by a defending player, prior to the puck
crossing the goal line between the normal position of the goalposts,
the Referee may award a goal.
In order to award a goal in this situation, the goal post must have
been displaced by the actions of a defending player, the attacking
player must have an imminent scoring opportunity prior to the goal
post being displaced, and it must be determined that the puck would
have entered the net between the normal position of the goal posts.
If the goal post is deliberately displaced by a goalkeeper or player
during the course of a “breakaway,” a goal will be awarded to the non-
offending team, and the play will be subject to automatic disciplinary
review by the League.
When the goal post has been displaced deliberately by the
defending team when their goalkeeper has been removed for an extra
attacker thereby preventing an impending goal by the attacking team,
the Referee shall award a goal to the attacking team.
The goal frame is considered to be displaced if either or both goal
pegs are no longer in their respective holes in the ice, or the net has
come completely off one or both pegs, prior to or as the puck enters
the goal."

I could not see the net well from my seat, and cannot find anything that suggests this is subject to video review or coach's challenge.
Surprising, since it seems they review every second goal the Wolves score, but not I guess when the outcome might be in their favor.
I've definitely seen goals awarded in the NHL when one of the posts is knocked off it's peg prior to the puck crossing the line.
 
Walton not dressed again! Does anyone know what’s up with him. Seems to be bouncing around the arena ok. Would be nice if this team can run 4 lines.

If you cant figure out the call after 10 minutes you should stick with orginal call. Jesus.
