Sportsnet uploaded TSN footage? 😱
Knies will become a stud. The next gen power forward. He has the size and toughness. Coming from NCAA Im surprised he even know how fight.
Now that was a Knies Left.
Whitecloud destroyed him
This kid would if not for Matthews have been a future captain
Vegas is a dirty team Echiel took out Jack Hughes
Eight lefts before Whitecloud even knew the fight started.
Knies has got some mojo go on! Who knew? He's big.
These fake fights at the start of games thing going on right now, needs to stop, so cheesy.
As a B’s fan, I grew a respect for Knies last year playoffs and knew he was going to elevate as a player, Very solid skillset with grit. Wish I had him on my team
Good job
i.assume.reaves gave knies some tips lol. that was awesome
Never seen whitecloud fight or play a physical game? Nice open ice hit though.. From there it went downhill for whitecloud.
Seems he got lucky knies lost balance
Remember when whitecloud was crying over people talking about his last name? Well now he has something new to cry about.
Way to go Knies! Handle your business 👍
Knies destroyed him with that left gun…
#23 has just sent a message to the nhl. Do a dirty hit on me, there will be retribution! Good on ya Kniesy!
Respect to Whitecloud for honoring The Code here
Knies has been a beast all season! Love this kid. Let's jut hope the Leafs are smart enough to keep him.
Knies is the only one in the top 6 with balls. This team is weak and not built for the playoffs.
Whitecloud was smart to just take him down.
Knies tickling Whitecloud is crazy
Wow someone didn’t like bending hit, lol
Knies is starting to realize his size and toughness. He handled Whitecloud. I’d like to see him get some revenge on Bennett next.
Yes knives should open up more room players know he can do that. Smart and courageous his value goes up bigtime
Hilarious! Incredulously "Matthew Knies???" followed by "Oh!!! he's a lefty!!!! Who knew?!?!?!?!?! …. "Well, Zach Whitecloud does now!"
I've seen this a few times. It really pays to find out if that guy you're dropping them with is a lefty. About 10% of the population is, so it's understandable how Whitecloud could go into a scrap assuming righty…only to find out the hard way he's not…. Plus Kneis caught him IMMEDIATELY flush – at that point Chief Whitecloud was just trying to coverup while Kneis swung away – a couple hit, most missed. Never the less, an absolute pounding by Knies…
Next time these two play again, Whitecloud tissue needs to redeem himself now that he knows which arm he needs to tie up
As an oilers fan I usually hate the leafs but this was awsome!
Love that Knies did this. Wonder why Reaves or even maybe Domi didn't take of it before? I think Reaves has lost his effectiveness.
