They've officially tied the record set by the Brandon Wheat Kings of 1978-79. Undefeated in 29 (28-0-1). Whatever you think of the Knights, the Hunters, whatever, they definitely deserve congratulations. This is a very memorable experience. One of the few positives about the NHL lock-out is that London has garnered national attention for their achievement.To break the record, they will play at home on Friday against Guelph. This one is will be on Sportsnet.

And one particular incident that stood out . . . I was listening to the game over the 'Internets', and it buffered out at the very end of the game, so that when it reconnected all I heard was the announcers calling a Ranger player an ass, and unsportsmanlike etc. I had no idea what happened. Well, on NOOF they're saying that a Kitchener player scooped up the game winning puck at the end of the game and skated off with it, with London players chasing after him. Apparently it was all in jest, and the puck was eventually turned over to the Knights. Hmmm.
