Yes we know but tbh its very petty.
Knights sales would suffer how exactly?

We haven't scored since 2011 .
- VANTEL

We haven't?

Don has to wait to buy his Jersey

Agree but was not to be. Jets won huge. I wanted Laine hands down.
- Nighthawk

Wound hasn't healed there. OJ is a good pick and may be the engine that could for our D. But man we love goals and this Finnish player Laine delivers big time.

We haven't?

I haven't scored since my honeymoon. The wife was in a good mood that night. She only charged me half price too

Pretty cool logo though

I don't believe that they would, but it still doesn't allow for another hockey team to use that name within Canada.

That's one thing I've found - they'll always find a way to make you pay

Luck of the lottery yes. Nothing more.
No issues getting OJ for me. D don't grow on trees & gotta draft them.
Q: What do perennial lotto teams have in common?
A: No studs on D.

Draft or draft lottery? It's nervous as poop before those lotto balls fall

At this rate you and I will never see it. Bad owner, bad managers and bad coaches year after year after year

True but its hardly a direct competition.
Trademarks gone to far in this case.
Now if London got an NHL expansion team another story altogether.

Just the draft, who they pick is more important than where they pick. But a couple top threes will certainly help if they get a quality kid.

True enough - I'd imagine if it was any other sport then it wouldn't be an issue.

If London got an NHL team, I'd imagine also that they may even move the OHL team to somewhere else, kinda how they did with Hamilton, Bellville etc.

Owner Bill Foley says LV team will win Cup within six years.

I wonder how much he paid bettman so that it will happen?

Agreed. That was the thing when Nonis/Burke were in charge, there was never any point getting hopes up because you knew that they'd just (frank) it up and draft guys like Biggs/Gauthier etc...

Benning has his critics with regard to his trades, but he seems to have his finger on the pulse fairly well with drafting - OJ was a nice pick IMO, should turn into a very solid, smooth D-man

More than Aquilini apparently.

Time will tell but they need four more good drafts before things turn around IMO.
