Knights' Historic Win Streak Snapped by Generals Comeback
Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2024 3:43 am
The London Knights finally tasted defeat after a historic 19-game win streak, falling to the Oshawa Generals. This begs the question: was the streak a sign of true dominance, or were the Knights benefiting from a favorable schedule or weaker opponents?
Easton Cowan’s unusual point streak, spanning two seasons, also raises some interesting debates. While officially not surpassing Doug Gilmour's single-season record, is it fair to consider Cowan’s streak less impressive? Does the length of the streak outweigh the single-season aspect?
The hit on Cowan that took both him and Sandhu out of the game warrants discussion. Was it a clean hit, a necessary play in a physical game, or an example of the kind of play that needs to be removed from the game? What are your thoughts on the balance between physicality and player safety in today's OHL?
Finally, with the upcoming Connor McDavid OHL Top Prospects game featuring several London-area players, what are your bold predictions for these future stars? Which players are you most excited to see, and why? Could we see any of them drafted into the NHL in the near future?
