Legend Killer

He's really high on our prospects.. that's good to hear him noting Cassels, Hunter and Bo.

sorry, but i think you're wrong there. more teams were in on him then we realize. his results at the combine, and his playoff performance helped him move up quite a bit. I was actually shocked Domi didn't fall to us where we got Shinkaruk

he said benning probably would've taken him if he had the opportunity, not if he was at 9.

If Dal Colle doesn't fall to us, it'll be Virtanen,i think.

I talked to Scott Howson, also. I told him he was my 2nd choice for new gm. He lol'd.

Knights packed it in for the 3rd period. Usually doesn't work that way, but i guess in bizarro world.. It all comes down to one thing. Selfishness. The key players didn't show up, most notably Domi. When all the wheels don't work together, none of them will work at all. Anderson was pretty much the only one who was noticeable. Anytime they got something going, poor communication and selfish play just through it right off. Sad, and frustrating. I've enjoyed Bo in London, but i'm looking forward to seeing him in Vancouver next year. I'm confident of that.

ready for tomorrow's game... this is off-topic, but i don't know where else to post it. talked to some nice fans from vancouver at the game tonight. always nice! also, ran into this guy. he looked lonely, and nobody was with him or talking to him. felt bad!

He doesn't look slow and doesn't float around, so don't worry about that.

The entire Knights team has been off. It's not just Bo. He's been playing his game very well still, but if you cut through two defenders and have nobody to pass to, how is it your fault?

It's not Hodgson 2.0. I'll confirm that. (message me and i'll tell you more)

The whole team looked off, but you can't play dump and chase hockey with a team that just won a championship. I'm extremely disappointed, but i think they'll put it all on the line against Guelph and take a win. Just seemed like a lot of players were on a different page. Marner was trying to play tough, similar to Domi, and it just didn't work. McCarron was.. a short fuse. Zadorov was on another planet. The rest of the team seemed invisible. They seemed to grab momentum at the end, but it was way too late. They're capable of beating Guelph, so we'll see. They split the season series, and blew them out in one game in the playoffs. I won't get into it, but there's a lot of behind the scenes issues in the locker room, relating to parents. Lets just say, certain hockey dads need to know their place.

i actually said the same thing lmao

Actually, what i got from Bo, and actually Josh Anderson as well, in that game is that they are both read to move on. The way they play, is in my mind on a level above the rest of the team. I didn't like how he handled that penalty shot, but after the first, they all sat back waiting for chances. I wasn't impressed, but i did like that toe Bo-Drag that Bo almost turned into a goal in the first. The whole team looked deflated.

There's nothing left for Bo in Junior. Everybody else will be gone probably, they're in a rebuild next year probably. 3 memorial cup appearances, 2 ohl championships and a world juniors appearance.. i think he'll be motivated to make the team. Knights are looking ready for the tournament. Dvorak, Bell, and Austin are all healthy now, and John Tavares has been practicing with them for the last week or two. pretty cool. Ideally, Bo should be on a line with 2 veterans, so maybe try Higgins-Horvat-Burrows?

what was the end result?

as an over-ager

And even if he could, he shouldn't. He's a London Knights, once he leaves, i doubt he'll be back. In other news, Stolarz will be back for game 1 of the memorial cup

i really think Burke will take Ritchie at 4th, or trade down and pick him. Something for our management to consider

Moving Kesler is short sighted, in my opinion. You don't just trade a way a sure fire, hard working player for prospects who might end up being good. If Kesler wants to stay, let him stay.

Ideally, i'd like to see either MDC or Leon drop to us at 6th. If we get first, Ekblad is the guy you want.

From what i've heard, they're reviewing it and may reduce it before the tournament

The thing with Patterson is he makes big saves, and lets in bad goals at the worst possible times. Guelph was better, but the goaltending really didn't help.

London's biggest problems were Patterson and bad coaching decisions. After the first round, and all the screw ups Domi has had, Horvat should've had a more offensive role

That's kinda why i've been talking him up to you guys all year. His stats are solid, but they don't do him justice. He's got a great forechecking game and most importantly, he finishes the play. There was a play in particular last night that stood out. He drove the puck behind the net with a defender on each side, and managed to maintain possession, and set up a blind back hand pass out front to Anderson who was robbed point blank. Perfect play. Anderson is ideal on a line with him

  it's unfortunate, but domi and tierney get top minutes cause they're pure offense first. Tierney can't take a hit or any physicality, and Domi is one of the most selfish players i've seen. That's why Horvat has been with the Rupert's. Speaking of the Rupert's, Ryan signed his ELC yesterday with TML
