The London Knights are one win away from the Western Conference Final. The Knights bounced back in game four with a 4-3 win in overtime vs. the Rangers after they lost 6-2 on Monday.

I could watch these two teams play every night of the year. The intensity of this rivalry is the best the Ontario Hockey League has to offer. The full arenas, passionate fans and consistent quality of rosters are unmatched. Both teams mean so much to their communities.
The Rangers won game 3 when there veteran talent took over. The power play exploded for four goals and John Gibson was his usual rock in goal.
In game four, the Knights showed the mental toughness that has become the franchise trademark. The Knights turned around a 3-1 first period deficit, eventually winning 4-3 in overtime.
Both games were highly entertaining, fast paced and full of tension. There were the usual charges about bad calls, bad bounces and nasty behaviour. I hope so. There's a lot at stake and if there wasn't some wounded souls either playing or watching, it wouldn't be worth playing. It's tough to win any playoff series in the Ontario Hockey League (ask the fans in Kingston). Thanks are due to the Knights and Rangers regardless of the series outcome for putting on this kind of show.
