  1. Why the sudden interest in Domi in this thread about Horvat? Yeah they play on the same team but I couldn't care less about Domi.

    just a comparison. domi is an enigmatic player, horvat is a born leader
  2. hahaha. that's good

    i'm not saying i don't like him either, its just that he does have some character issues. the thing that worries me is that if he gets too confident, his development will slide

  3. I've never heard anyone compare Domi to Toews. In fact, if you go to the Knights' forum at HFBoards, the fan comments indicate they think he's a dirty player. He's also described as being a "selfish" player. Neither of those descriptions fit the Toews comparison. Overall, most fans rave about Horvat, but don't have much good to say about Domi.

    Domi is exactly what you'd expect the son of Tie Domi to be.
  4. Best way to describe Bo is he uses his body like David Backes, but he plays like a Jonathan Toews or maybe Bergeron. But i honestly think he's just a different type of player. I saw him at practice last week and man.. his skating has improved drastically.

  5. I agree, Domi was a non factor and made himself look pretty immature, especially for his misconduct. Typical Domi. After the whistle goes, Domi uses his "toughness". He goes over to cross check Bignell in his lower back and targets where there is no padding. Then he mugs him from behind and tackles him and the linesman to the ice. Starts throwing some gloved shots at Bignell's body.

    Subban and Domi are very good friends off the ice. At the draft when Jordan was still waiting to be selected, Domi noticed he still didn't go yet and was waiting a long time, so he took off his PHX jersey and sat with Subban until he was chosen. Said he didn't want Jordan to sit alone and wanted to support his friend. So i found the scrum a bit odd. Could just be on-ice competitiveness, rather than bad blood between them.

    they were getting pretty mouthy in the box, but then again Domi was laughing when he went back to the box in the next period
  6. You're right. They traded Marselis Subban. Apparently I need to pay more attention when dealing with Subbans. Apologies! A

    yeah, marselis played some preseason games here then they sent him to saginaw. he wasn't that great
  7. Horvat, Gaunce facing up on Friday October 11.

    Really hope Gaunce gets traded to London at Christmas. Belleville isn't going anywhere this year. Would be nice to see a WHJC Gold medal and Memorial Cup for both Horvat and Gaunce at the same time :)))

    and subban! they gotta go all in for the mem. cup

    i'll be at that game friday, pretty pumped for it

  8. Just watched the highlights from last nights game. His first goal was a nasty poke in, but he kept on it for 4 or 5 wacks. The second goal, he managed to get open and the side of the net and pop it in on the rush. His assist looks like a blast from the point, picked up by somebody in front.

    I have to say, the Knights are absolutely stacked this year! Horvat, Domi, Zadorov with likely high picks in Tait Seguin, Marner and Dvorak.

    Those guys won't be high picks. The knock on Marner will be his size, and Dvorak projects as a second rounder.. might be late 1st. I do like the team this year, though. Josh Andersson has stepped up. I like Mermis for a potential steal in the nhl draft.
  9. side note. i'd really like to see us have a shot at drafting Ho-Sang. matt rupert played pretty undisciplined last night.. i'm surprised he didn't get benched

  10. I wish i could find a highlight of the goal bo set up for matt rupert yesterday. you guys gotta see it, it shows why we picked him. plays like that just show that he makes players around him better

  11. I'm guessing you don't know much about Olli Maatta. Just because he's European doesn't mean he cannot lead and that Bo is the outright leader of this team. And also take into consideration that London usually picks a defenseman as a captain - Harrington and before that Tinordi.

    Bo hasn't been named captain yet. I personally think it is Maatta's to lose.

    i know plenty about olli maata, he volunteered at a school i was at many times. great guy, but him and horvat would both be equally good fits
  12. London has yet to name their captain.

    In the next few days, if Bo isn't named captain, expect Olli Maatta to get it if he returns from Pittsburgh. If Pittsburgh chooses to keep Maatta, I don't see anyone else on the London roster that deserve the "C" more than Bo.

    I think the "C" is contingent on Maatta making the Penguins or not.

    I'm not too sure about that. Everybody around here knows that Bo has taken over as the true leader of the team.
