Generals 4 - Knights 7

The Brighouse Knights and the Burnaby Generals faced off for the third and final time this year against each other with the series tied at one win a piece. The Knights had a small turnout for this important game with only nine guys making the trip out to New West going with 5 forwards and 4 defenseman..(pathetic!!). The Knights got off to a slow start by getting into penalty trouble early on with the Generals countering and taking advantage and going up 2 to 0. Knights however didn't panic they then stayed out of the box and started to frustrate the Generals who then started to take penalty after penalty leading to a couple of power play goals for the Knights. Mark Melim, Ryan Bhala, Sid the Kid Mcshane, and Nathan Brown had one tally each while Mandy "the sniper" Parmar had two in this game as he was moved up to the right wing from Defense, because of forward personnel shortage, and did a great job finishing on the plays. This win was an excellent team effort by the players that showed up and they played like a first place team by not panicking when down 2 to 0 to the defending champs and then grinding them down and then letting their skill take over for the win. Kahle was also stellar in between the pipes. Coming down the stretch here we HAVE to start getting a consistant turnout by our team members... 10 guys can't win every game! This game was also a ruff affair as their were a couple of cheapshot hits by the classless Generals as they targeted Clayton Weston for the most part of the game. Gur "The tank" Randhawa played like a Tank set a precedent by going after the generals best defenseman Zorin Babic and forward Tyler by giving them a shot in the head and then running him over letting the Generals know that we won't be pushed around. He also drew 3 penalties out of the Generals and screened General's goalie on PP which led to 3 crucial goals. One other note... with 18 seconds left in the game we were up by two goals and Mark Melim blocks a shot with his face pretty much!!.... thats what we call a team player!!!!!! Great effort keep it up this could be the year boys!

Score was actually 7-4 with Ryan "I have a twitch" Bhala scoring in the empty net but scorekeeper was too busy attending to bloodied casualties of war that he forgot to write it down.

Knights were missing Asif, Kal, Bindy, Kulvir, Dipper, Sandip in this game.
