DiamondBacks 1 - Knights 4

The Knights came into this game with only a 4 point lead on the Dbacks making this a big game for both teams. The Knights started this game a little sluggish as the two week layoff showed in the first half but managed to take a 1-0 lead for the first half as Clayton "The Machine" Weston scored a beauty as he deked out the goalie and put it in the back of the net. As usual there was some new faces in the Knights lineup as call ups Kevin "Hatrick" Wong and Dipper "I'll rip your head off" Kaila were inserted and both made a huge impact in this game. Kevin "Don't call me Richard Park" Wong scored a hatrick and Dipper " The bulldozer" Kaila added some much needed grit into the lineup. Missing were Kevin "Cuban" Singh, Asif "Koivu" Lalani and Dave "The babysitter" Fedorko. In the second half the Knights came out with more determination as the vintage cheer "HUSSLE" inspired them to a convincing 4-1 victory over the Dbacks. The game got ugly near the end of the game as Mandy"Heavy D" Parmar was drilled from behind head first by that lowlife #44 of the Dbacks. This cheapshot lead to some more infractions as Ryan "I got an assist" Bhala got punched in the head by another fat pig and then got tossed from the game for absolute no reason...go figure. Notable mentions Gur "The Beast" Randhawa got his usual 2 penalties but played outstanding on defense and lead by example in this game. Overall the Knights could have and have to play better down the stretch run as 3 games remain before the playoffs.

1st Star - Kevin Wong
2nd Star - Clayton Weston
3rd Star - Gur Randhawa

Knights 4 - NWO 7

The Brighouse Knights came into this game trying to snap out of a six game losing streak as they took the lead for a short while in the first half and controlled the play for the most part. The Nwo came back and took the lead for good into the second half as the Knights ran into penalty trouble once again and were down 5-3. Knights then had a powerplay opportunity to get within one but couldn't capatalize on their chances... right after the powerplay was over a long shot from the opponets goal line beat a stunned Rob " did that go in" Kahle thus deflating the Knights and ruining any hopes for a comeback. The Knights then rolled the lines for the last 5 minutes of the game as the Nwo added an insurance marker and the end of the game to make it a 7-4 final. "you can't roll 3 lines when you're down by two goals with 5 minutes left in the game", said Kevin Singh," thats f***in ridiculous, you have to put your top guys out there to have a chance toget back in the game." "We played a lot better today than we did last game but thats still not good enough, we have to play better as a team like we were at the start of the season."
Bindi"no my last name ain' t Johal" Aulukh scored a big goal with a great effort from his whole line and the newly acquired center Shawn Phair looked good with Weston and White as his wingers. Next game goes in two weeks on a Friday nite as the Knights and the Diamondbacks who are also getting desperate lock horns.

1st star - Clayton "The Machine" Weston
2nd star - Bindi "All in" Auluk
3rd Star - Jim "I can score" White

Revolution 6 - Knights 3

Short benched Revolution scored first on a shot from the point 2 minutes in. Knights then scored twice led by Asif to take the lead. Revolution got a lucky bounce as Jim White scored in his own net. Team in yellow and blue then took the lead on the powerplay.

Knights second half came out all over the Revolution but could not fill the net. Gur "The Tank" Randhawa had a breakway on a gorgeous pass from Gary Ball but could not beat goalie and continue's his goal scoring drought. With 4 minutes left down 2 goals Knights got a powerplay but could not finish. Knights went 0-6 vs A Division opponents and will start B Division round next week.

On the injury front Gary Bal popped his hamstring and is expected to miss 1-2 weeks. Knights management has signed 2 free agents to add more grit and speed Mandeep Kaila and Sean Phair.

Hawks 6 - Knights 1

Knights lost this one on special teams. Hawks went 5 for 6 on the powerplay while Knights went 0 for 1. Knights had made it close as 3-1 in the second half but costly penalties by Kevin Singh and Jim White wiped out any hopes of a comeback. The goal came on a long shot from Kevin "I'm an Allstar" Singh hitting the back board and going on off goalies own stick. Gary Bal made some offensive comments about Hawks jersey which brought numerous scuffles and resulted in Knights sitting the Penalty Box for most of the second half. All in all this was a good experience building game for players that have never played the elite A div teams. There was good effort again this game but going forward Knights will need to support each other on the floor for the entire game to be successful and make the playoffs.

Defensive player of the game - Rob Kahle
Offensive player of the game - Asif Lalani
