Are the London Knights once again Memorial Cup contenders?

Hey, Ryan, how are you?

Great, Rachel.

Thanks for having me back.

Well, we love our Knights look ahead.

You know, we got to have that every season as it begins.

Okay, well, let's start with the rankings because the Knights are second in the CHL rankings so far this year.

So, I mean, that's looking promising, isn't it?

Yeah, these preseason rankings are funny.

As someone that has to do his own predictions, it's like if people remember when you screwed up and you picked somebody to finish last and finish first.

It's like when the weatherman

predicts the weather and gets it wrong, you'll hear about it.

El

Nino is coming, so you're going to have to

wear a jacket this year.

But I think what I've learned over the years with the, with the rankings is what the CHL does is they're like, they default, like they put London in the top 10.

Cause they're basically like, they're going to have a team good enough to be in there.

I think last year they were also ranked very high, but this time it's legit.

Like they have a really good team again.

And, and they're, you know, where they're ranked is kind of, you

know, right up there where they belong.

And, and,

Rachel, as far as all the years that I've covered it, there hasn't been a year where a lot of guys were missing and they still won those first couple games against a pretty good team in Windsor.

They won the games.

Usually, we're talking about they started 0-1-4 or they lost

their home opener usually and all that.
