Well, the knighthawks won, barely. "We didn't
play well at all," said John Grant who had 10 points
(4G, 6A). Cory Bomberry and Curt Malawsky also had
three goals each. Only one goal was scored in the third
goal making it 9-6 after three. The Rebel were hungry
for their first win and it showed. The Knighthawks
should have blown them out of the water, but the Rebel
held their own through out the whole game. The big
surprise of the night was Pat O'Toole scored the
Knighthawks' fifth goal, a shorthanded one. O'Toole also added
an assist.<br><br>I was forced to listen to it on
the radio, again, but from what i heard, the
officiating was craptacular. The K-Hawks' announcers were
astounded at how many penalties there were. Luckily
however, the penalties were evenly weighted between the
two teams. "Forget about expansion, forget about a
developmental league, forget about a national tv contract. What
the NLL needs to make it a national attraction is
consistent officiating," said one announcer.<br><br>Another
major drawback to the game was that apparently there
were interviews on the field of the players during the
TV timeouts. It got very annoying to the players i
would imagine since the game was on NBC or ABC or
something so the media was just bothering them during a
game, screwing up their concentration. "I HATE that
they're doing this!" this same announcer said.<br><br>All
in all, it was a crappy game. The knighthawks played
like crap and let the now 0-11 Rebel score into double
digits, something that the Rock and Landsharks were
unable to do the past two weeks. It true K-hawk fashion
their eventual collapse in the fourth quarter really
hurt their cause. If they play like this against the
Rebel, they better get their sh!t in gear to play the
power in two weeks. They can't afford to lose any game
from now on as they are grasping at Buffalo's
bootstraps.<br><br>Knighthawks are awesome, but they need some work, good thing
they have a week off.
