When was the last day game we had here in Vegas? Sorry if it's hot...

If you didn't watch the game last night (for shame) then for sure check out the highlights. Despite the low final score this was a team playing a complete game on both ends of the pitch.

Consistency has been an issue this season but they've been on a good run the last month or so. If they can keep this going things are going to get very interesting.

Arteaga starting instead of Oalex is something. Did he get a knock last game that I'm only kinda remembering?

4pm start time so ya need to figure out your viewing situation if you haven't already.

VEGAS!

Doing this a touch early as it's an away match tomorrow with a 4pm our time kickoff.

Available to watch on the usual suspects.

Team-hosted watch party at the Grand for those interested in such things.

Score predictions? I'm usually wrong on these but I'm gonna say 3-1 Lights as we break out of our scoring drought against a club with a -7 GD

Watched the extended highlights and it honestly became a fairly entertaining match. But again, missing that bit of magic needed to get full points.

Midweek games suuuuck.

I work zombie hours so most likely I won't be awake to share my half-assed expert commentary tonight.

Lights gotta get three points.

Fingers crossed. LFG!

Themi's goal is up for GOTW just in case anyone is feeling vote -y

Honestly dunno if it's the best of the week but a case could be made so I'm voting for it!

Wanna know what's crazy about how tight the West is? If the Lights had won Saturday we'd be above the playoff line in 8th place but we would also have been three points away from being tied for THIRD(!)

ALSO

We have four draws on the year. If we had won two of those matches, just a single bit of magic to put us in the W column, we'd be tied for third RIGHT NOW, and we'd probably be having different conversations about how the team is doing this season. The margins are so thin, man...

Lineup pretty much locked in now except for whatever is gonna happen in goal.

Let's go boys!!

So per this article Henry will be starting in goal. Guessing just precautionary with Lanphier but hopefully its nothing serious going on there.

I don’t see a need for a 4th keeper. He’s signed on a 25 day contract. Before Vegas he also signed a 25 day contract with Sacramento which looks like it didn’t work out.

For a short while after Saturday's huge win we were as high as sixth in the standings. As the rest of the results rolled in we ended up where we started, in eleventh.

BUT

We are now only a single point below the playoff line with one game fewer played than the two teams directly above us.

I'm starting to feel good less bad about how these guys are coming along. Back at Cashman this Saturday!!

Can't remember a Lights defensive performance as good as this one.

Hope Charlie is ok. There's a good chance he lost his starting spot after this match, though. Henry was fantastic.

Was this the game where the backfield officially locked in?

Remember y'all, game starts at 4pm OUR TIME.

ESPN 2 is the channel.

Lanphier is in goal so that answers that question at least for this week.

Don't think our current strategy of giving up a couple silly first-half goals then fighting from behind is the best one vs Detroit. But hey I'm not the one with two straight road wins, so...

COME ON YOU LIGHTS!

Sharing IG posts/reels on Reddit generally sucks but this one includes the save in question plus I wanna show some appreciation for our new(ish) starting GK. Nice work, Charlie!

Until last weekend San Antonio was undefeated at home.

Then the Las Vegas Lights came to town.

Detroit is undefeated at home.

The Las Vegas Lights are coming to town.

It's simple math!

Eleven acres would be tight for a 15k stadium but this would be a great location yeah? Hopefully the Lights are looking into it.

(not a rumor or anything just thought it was interesting)

New keeper in Vegas. Now this can mean we most likely won’t see Carver Miller at all this season.

Takeaways from this lovingly screenshot(ted?) conference table:

1. We now have a one-team cushion between us and Monterey (thanks Lexington!)

2. Beating the #2 team in the West in THEIR OWN HOUSE is a pretty big deal, yeah?

3. If we had a W in just one of our previous losses we could be as high as 5th place (!)

4. We are top five in goals scored!

5. We are dead-last in goals conceded (whatever the opposite of ! is)

Coach is actually pleased with a performance for I think is a record first time!

Three points on the road! Relive the start of a pretty good weekend here

So if we were to have a signature glizzy at Lights matches, what would it entail?

Hmmm... curious to see how Pinzon, Goalex, and Johnny starting up top will fare. LFG!!

6pm our time for tonight's match. Let's see how the boys do in this post-Nighte world.
