Pirates 7 - Knights 5

Knights started this game again with a depleted lineup missing some key players (Asif, Mark, Nathan, Dipper). We started the game with 2 penalties with Pirates scoring twice. With Knights shorthanded again late in the 1st half Kulvir Kaila intercepted a pass in the neutral zone and blasted a shot past Pirates netminder. Knights dominated most of the 1st half with shot after shot but could not score. Second half Knights tied it with a Ryan "Bollywood" Bhala making a beautiful pass to The Machine who blasted it past Jas "The Apna Pirate" Basra. Towards middle of the second half Pirates scored 3 times in 3 minute span to take the lead, Knights fought back to make it a one goal game however Pirates iced it with a minute to go. Gur "The Tank" Randhawa had about 20 shots on net but could not beat Pirates stellar goalie.

Knights battled hard this game and showed a gutsy effort fighting to come back down 3 goals. Unfortunate time to get into a mini slump late in the season, hopefully our missing team-mates can make remaining 4 games so we can finish strong heading into the playoffs. Knights destiny still lies in their own hands in finishing first with some key games with Panthers, Pirates, DBacks and Kings.
