This was a sloppy game all around by the Knights who faced off against a 6 man speedy Pirate team with an exceptional goalie. Knights were chasing the Pirates most of the first half and could not get any rhythm or consistency in their play. The second half being down Knights made another successful comeback to take it to overtime where the game ended in a draw.
Pirates scored 3 PP goals 2 of them on costly but questionable penalties taken by the Tank. They then scored 2 goals because of sloppy team defense. Knights were down 4-2 at the half and scored 3 goals latter part of the second half to take it to overtime. Bal "I'm at only 67.4%" Mattu scored 2 timely goals keeping the Knights in the game. The Tank who sat himself out as punishment for the first 2 penalties exploded in the latter part of the 2nd half when needed. The Tank who returned to the lineup after a 4 game absence due to a serious tear of ligaments in right ankle led the charge and scored a key goal to bring the Knights to 5-4 with 6 minutes to play. The Tank intercepted a pass in the neutral zone, then skillfully weaved his way through 2 Pirates unleashing a hard wrist shot which beat Pirate goalie short side down low. With the Pirates now on their heals on the PP Asif "Koivu" Lalani tied the game at 5 a piece with a scrum in front of the Pirates net. Mandy "Twinkle Toes" Parmar had a tough game on defense but kept his spirits up by the Tanks post game pep talk quoted "Tera butha kidha da buniya see bench tey? Koi na agli vary changa khaidain ga saliyaa!!!".
