Knights and Panthers faced off for the third and final time of the year Sunday with the Panthers needing a win to stay alive in the playoff race and the Knights needing a win to break out of a two game losing streak and keeping pace with the first place D-Backs. With their so called back up goalie Jimmy 'I'm only 67.845%" Mattu in between the pipes the Knights got off to a slow start by only scoring once and mostly penalty killing for the first half. With a pep talk at the half from half a dozen guys "we got to score on the power play and take over this game boys...lets bury these guys.. .second half is ours," and to the cheer "WIN" on three the middle aged Knights came out into the second half on fire and scored on the ensuing power play and then added 3 more goals to make it a 5-0 final. Jimmy "aka i have many names" Mattu displayed a Luongo like performance in this game stopping everything that the Panthers put in his way. Kevin "Mickey" Singh also played a part to preserve the shutout for Jimmy by making two spectacular saves right at the end of the game, one of them hitting him in the face, one of which he caused himself. The Knights second line showed promise as Asif Lalani back in the lineup hooked up with Brian Mcshane and Kulvir Kaila and combined for 6 points. McShane was a maniac in this game by outworking, out hustling, and winning the battles in the trenches a performance not to be forgotten. Thats the way we all should be playing if we want to win a championship! Also Asif, Mark, and Nathan were all thankfully in our lineup on Sunday as they had a scary gangland type of encounter on Friday night at the IHL arena...hopefully they can show up to the rest of our games and the playoffs and play in the safe, peaceful confines of Arenex!..haha... all we do after the games is have beers!!! Cheers boys!! Next game goes Sunday at 5:30 versus the Kings ..HUGE game!
