Knights Win 2007/2008 B-Division!!

Brighouse Knights finished the season atop of the B Division with best record ever of an impressive 14-6-1. It wasn't an easy road especially falling into a 1-3 slump late in the season. However the persevering Knights won the last 2 critical games of the season against high ranking tough opponents to capture the title. This year B Division was the most competitive as its ever been in last five years.

Knights now have 2 weeks off before first playoff game most likely Sun Mar 9th. We do have a gym rented next 2 Tuesdays in Richmond, guys should come out and get a practice in. Keep in shape boys, go for a few runs during the week, semi-final match up will a tough one.

Panthers 0 - Knights 5

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!

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.

Knights 6 - 3 Sabres

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.

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.

DiamondBacks 3 - Knights 6

The Diamondbacks and Knights faced off on Sunday night for the first time in 2008 leading to a 6 to 3 victory for the Knight men. The Knights finally had their troopers in full gear for this one as they had previously lost to the Diamondbacks in their first tilt 5 to 2, so this was a redemption game and a game to prove to themselves they can outwork the D men and win. Knights got off to a 3 to 0 lead in the first half as they took it to their first place opponents by forchecking hard, winning the battles in the trenches, shooting the ball net and charging the net. Brian " sid the frickin Kid" Mcshane, Mark "i showed up for a game" Melim and Dipper "the maniac" Kaila led the way on the forcheck. These three center men were a much needed injection into the Brighouse lineup in this game. Also back from injury was Dan "no thats not a bruise" Ko who was solid on the blueline the whole game along with Kevin "Mickey" Singh, Nathan "Charlie" Brown and Mandy "they can't win without meee" Parmar. Robby "the fingerbanger" Kahle also had a solid game between the pipes. The Knights played simple and smart hockey for the most part by outworking the Diamondbacks which led to their offense and skill taking over and putting away the D men.

Clayton Weston had a goal and two assists and Mark Melim and Ryan Bhala added two goals each with Kevin Singh with the other tally.

Kings 7 - Knights 3

With both teams coming into this game with depleted lineups, the Knights came out on the short end of the stick in this one 7 to 3 which was the last game of 2007 and leading into the three week layoff. 4th string goalie Sandip Dulay made his debut on this night and for the better part of the game made the saves he needed to make until the latter half of the second period where the flood gates opened. The Knights were beat to the ball and were out battled by the young fiesty Kings all night and in the end outscored. Knights however had there chances but couldn't beat probably the best goalie in B Div Rick Baker as he stopped shot after shot highlighting a glove hand save when he robbed Ryan "atleast i sometimes HAVE a shot" Bhala in the slot on a one timer set up by Asif Lalani. Gur " Winterfest" Randhawa scored again for the Knights in this game as he went to the net after Ryan Bhala blasted one from the point and tucked in the rebound. The Tanks game has improved immensely after coming back from injury early in the year as he has started to shoot the ball more and is using his body size and driving to the net without taking penalties. Also scoring for the Knights on this night were Kulvir "Web 2.0" Kaila and Kal Sanghera who scored his first goal of the season and added an assist. Guys not showing up to games on a regular basis is going to kill us down the second half stretch of the season. Also certain individuals who are the so called "leader" of this Knights team calling out other players during the game on the bench is immature and classless. Try talking to real team leader ex.. Gur Randhawa, Asif Lalani, Clayton Weston, Rob Kahle and they will guide you in the right direction. Can't have that bullshit going on cause we're losing a game...that was the same shit we have done in the past and its got us no where in this league. I Ryan Bhala need to play much better especially improving on my in the slot one timer scoring chances. Coming back from the holidays we face off against the Diamondbacks...enough said. Anyways on a lighter note The Knights have enjoyed a good first half with a record of 8 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie. Hopefully we pull it together and have a better 2008!

Have a Merry Winterfest and a Happy New Year to all!!!!

There should be no 3 stars on this night however to just keep it going...

Knights 3 - Panthers 2

The Knights and Panthers battled it out for the second time this year on Sunday as the season resumed after 2 weeks off. The Knights won this close hard fought game 3 - 2. Maybe the ugliest win of the year but we got the two points in the end. Gur "Rickards Red' Randhawa got the Knights off to a 1-0 lead as he elegantly redirected a nice feed from Nathan "BabyFace" Brown. The Knights then took a couple of penalty's and were shorthanded most of the first half but still managed to be up 2-0. The Panthers then made it close by scoring twice while the Knights got lazy and didn't go for the kill. Mark "Slapnuts" Melim then scored to make it 3-2 late in the second half and the Knights then had to hold on for the win as Robby "Luongo" Kahle played lights out for the rest of the game. Shaking off the rust after 2 weeks off was a factor in this game for a few players on the Knights side on this Sunday and also drinking Bacardi and cokes then switching to beers the night before didn't help either! Ryan "i was in a giving mood today " Bhala had this to say after the game, "ya ya i know... they want me to shoot the ball more... i seen Clayton open a few times and decided to pass it off to him but it didn't work out this time...if those passes resulted in goals nobody would be bitching about it!.....no worries though i'm pretty sure we'll be back to normal next week by shooting every time i get a chance." The Tank made an unexpected announcement after the game as well, as he said there will be a team Christmas party on December 23rd at Desi Junction.. I thought Gur didn't believe in Christmas as he ripped in to me for putting up a Christmas tree!!! "WE DON'T PUT UP FUCKING CHRISTMAS TREES YOU ASSHOLE," said the Tank when i told him about the beautiful little xmas tree we put up, "Just give me presents - thats it!" A BA HUMBUG to you to!

Sabres 3 - Knights 4

The Knights rolled into this game thinking they were going to steam roll the last place team the Sabres on this sunday but as it turned out in the end it was closer than expected. The Knights led by the Tank's scoring got off to a huge 4- lead in the first half of the game thinking they had things rapped up but a couple of penalties later and a couple of goals later by the Sabres made it too close for comfort for the Knights as they barely held on to get the win. In the end we got the 2 points.

Knights 5 - Generals 3

The Knights and their nemesis the Generals faced off second time this Sunday and it was a dandy of a game especially for the Knights who finally defeated their hated rivals 5-3. The Knights came into this game on a 1 game losing skid and looked to bounce back versus the dirtiest cheapest most classless team in the league the Generals (because of a few select players only). It was a very physical hard fought game by both squads but the more talented team came through with a victory on this night. The Knights not only battled the Generals but also had to battle and cope with the referrees throughout the game. Ryan Bhala, Mark Melim, Clayton Weston, Mandy Parmar and Ho Dan Ko had the markers for the nights while goaltender Rob Kahle played a stellar game in betweem the pipes. Knights also had 2 goals disallowed which were clearly in but the refs were out of position to make the right call. The 2nd and 3rd lines for the Knights played exceptionally well as they battled the other teams defence and created alot of scoring chances for themselves. Gur "Tank" Randhawa lost it on the referees in the second half as his stick was snatched away from him (3rd time) resulting in no call and subsequently Randhawa's rant on the referee as the play went on up the floor. Gur put his arms out in the air and let the ref's know what time it was..."WHAT THE F*$*% REF WHERE'S MY F*^&$ STICK...WHERES THE F*#$%ING CALL...THATS F&#*$KIN BULLSHIT". Luckily the Tank found his 6' stick and rejoined the play. The Knights were short benched for this game as Asif "I'll be back" Lalani, Nathan "I'll be there every second game" Brown and Dave "Who knows where the hell he is" Fedorko were missing for this matchup.
The top line Weston, Melim and Bhala combined for 3 of the goals and 7 points on the night while twinkle toes Parmar and Ho Dan Ko provided much needed scoring from the back end. We showed excellent team effort and heart in this game, we wanted this game more than they did and it showed on the floor. Alot of chirping done by both teams and at the referrees but in the end we kept our composure and walked away with a victory. This was worse refereed game that I've been associated with. A special thanks goes out to Kevin Singh and his wife Kathleen Singh as they had a beautiful healthy baby girl which they named "Kiara" on saturday and Keving "Hockey slut" Singh showed up to play on Sunday...that's awesome bro!!! --Posted by Bhala

Knights 2 - DiamondBacks 5

This Sunday's matchup brought the two top teams in B Div. Arenex League to a head. With both teams having their full rosters in the lineup this looked to be a dandy of a game. The DBacks scored first with a shot from the slot as they worked the ball around and got the shot off to go up 1-0. The Knights had to battle hard to score in this game as the Diamondbacks kept collapsing around their net time after time giving the Knights forwards no room in front of the goalie to score. Knights did tie a short while later as Ryan Bhala got a nice feed from Clayton Weston and then tallied his 7th goal of the year, tying his last years total in goals eight games into this season. Then before the half, Kevin Singh trying to take a pass along the boards got his stick caught in the boards turning over the ball to the Diamondbacks who broke in on a two on one and scored to make it 2 - 1 before the 1st half buzzer. The second half was not so kind to the Knights on this night as the DBacks took advantage of the Brighouse turnovers and scored 3 more times. Weston notched his 11th goal of the campaign but it was too little too late as the D-Backs took the first round victory 5 - 2. Our third line played an excellent game by going hard to net creating chances and battling hard in the offensive end. Tank Randhawa had a few chances in front of the net but could not put it by the D-Backs goalie as the top of Gurs stick hit the roof of Arenex everytime he wound up! The D-Backs played a patient and simple game as they did alot of dumping and chasing and waited for us to turn the ball over and then they made us pay by scoring on their chances. We couldn't score on our chances and didn't SHOOT the ball enough in this game....especially the D-men. Take that wrist shot... get the ball on net and anything can happen.. we have to keep it simple in games like this. In the end we got outworked by the Diamondback team as they wanted this game more than we did. Controversy started to swirl around the Knights team after the game as the line of Sanghera, Lalani, and Kaila was not clicking on all cylinders and will be broken up causing the other lines to separate. Overall we're at 5 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie... not too bad lets not panic...next game next sunday versus the our nemesis the Generals at 6:45 p.m..

Knights 5 - Kings 2

The Knights came into this game with an impressive 4-1-1 record and surprisingly with their regular full roster minus Mark 'ooooh my nuts Melim. The Kings lineup supported by a young, feisty group was looking to upset the first place Knights on this Friday night but fell short as the Knights played one of their most complete games of the year. It was a penalty filled affair as the Kings scored both of their goals on the powerplay and the Knights scored 4 out of 5 goals on their powerplay. The top two lines for the Knights led the way offensively as Brian' Sid the frickin Kid' Mcshane started things off by jamming in a rebound past Kings goalie Rick Baker. Nathan 'Ill show up to every other game' Brown also got one in close as he pinched in from the point and buried it after a couple of wacks at the ball. Kulvir 'i'm finding my role' Kaila scored on a beauty set up by Asif 'Koivu' Lalani on the powerplay and then a couple of powerplays later Ryan Bhala netted his 6th goal of the year on a similiar play on a set up by Clayton 'the machine' Weston. Weston also scored one on a nice pass by Ryan 'i gotta hit the net' Bhala. The line of the Tank Randhawa, Dipper' Don't Fuck with Me' Kaila and Bindi 'All in' Auluk were an intimidating force to be reconed with as they played hard and had an excellent game shutting down the other teams top lines. Kal 'injury prone' Sanghera also had a decent game playing the shut down centerman and also had some good scoring chances as he and Lalani, known as the two magicians, were paired up for most of the game. Kevin 'mickey of crown' Singh played well on defence again as he has elevated his gameplay for the last few games as did Dave Federko who was solid and Mandy' don't call me a fat pig' Parmar, who missed the last game because he benched himself for having a terrible game the game before, had a better performance this game. Rob Kahle made big save after big save as he robbed the kings best forward as he was deked, Kahle stuck out his glove and made a Luongo like save to keep the Knights ahead and secure the 5 to 2 victory putting the Knights record at 5-1-1 for 1st place in the Arenex B Div. A lot of good things came out of this game as we improved on our power play by working the ball down low and using the other winger coming in high in the slot for the shot ... still could be better as we have to brush up on a couple of things still ... but if we keep getting out the same players and keep getting consistent good play out of EVERY player we should be a difficult team to beat. Everyone is finding their role on this team. We have a chance this year to potentially go all the way so lets not fuck it up!! Also the chatter on the bench has been positive on the most part and the yelling at each other has been kept to a minimum so thats another plus. We have to stay out of the penalty box GUR!!! But at the same time play aggressively and fore check the other teams defense hard. Next game should be the toughest one so far for us as the top two teams battle next Sunday night. The diamondbacks are a tough physical team that have good goal tending and could score goals if given the chance. Overall this was a scrappy game with Kings taking 36 minutes and Knights 32 minutes in penalties. Both teams had 2 players each involved in scraps resulting in game misconducts. Knights won both scraps :)

Panthers 4 - Knights 6

Knights started slow again in the first half going down 2 nothing early but managed to tie it 3-3 by the half with goals coming on the power play. Knights turned it around in the 2nd half after a good pep talk by Kulvir/Gur during half-time. Team to the Tanks surprise actually kept quiet on the bench and executed controlling the game by pinning Panthers in their own end till the end. Knights tired out the veteran Panther team who just couldn't keep up. Knights outscored Panthers 3-1 in the second half pulling out a big win.

Knights were missing Asif, Dipper, Kal, Mandy and Nathan for this game. Call ups were Brian "McFeisty" Mcshane and Harvir "Junior Knight" Sidhu.
