The Knights and Sabres met for the third and final time last Sunday evening in a game that was just as important as any other as the Knights are going down the stretch here looking for a first place finish and that all important first week bye in the playoffs. It took a while for the offense to get started in this one but when it did it came in waves. Clayton Weston and Mark Melim struck within seconds of each other to make it a 2-0 game and then Melim added another minutes after to make it a 3 to 0 lead in the first half. The Knights thinking they were going to blow out the Sabres took this game a little too lightly and it showed on the scoreboard as the Sabres stormed back to make it a 3 to 2 game. The Knights then took over again in the second half and scored three more times to make it a 6 to 3 final. An ugly win but we'll take it. Melim ended with 4 goals as he had the finishing touch in this one with Bhala adding 3 helpers to go along. The top line combined for 10 points as they have carried the Knights this season game after game. The second line is showing promise as Sid the frickin Kid Mcshane has become a regular in the last few games and adds that much needed grit and grind that is needed on that line. He opens up a lot of room out there for the others to do their thing. Ballhogs are next on the schedule which i think will be the game of the year for the Knights. Already have beaten the Hogs twice this year this time around they will ice a more dangerous lineup with league leading goal scorer Harp Kalkut. Both teams have been hot as of late and it should be a dandy of a game.
