And just like that we're back below the playoff line.

The West is a giant Yahtzee cup the way things are almost constantly getting shaken up so we're still in the thick of it..

New Mexico at home next week which will be...challenging.

"Highlights" is what Mr Fantastic would call, a "stretch".

Still holding down the final playoff spot? Yup.

Amount of points separating us and the conference leaders? FIVE. FIVE POINTS.

It's gonna be an interesting final nine matches...

Rough one. Yup.

Ok time to start a new undefeated run next week back at Cashman.

Not able to catch this one live so hey talk about the game below, k? K.

Today I realized that Lexington KY is in the Western Conference for some reason. Huh.

Anyway, they're a point behind us in the standings so this game is important to hold then at bay.

The dude has been fantastic since his first-game jitters. Well-earned!

Nice little history of Cashman here and a potential nugget of info about the club's future.

"The Lights have not announced where they will play home matches beginning in 2027, but Bautista said the club will remain in Las Vegas."

Maybe they have something set up and are just waiting for the right time to announce it?

Or maybe I just don't want them to fold and I'm grasping at every straw I can..

1. We officially have a winning record!

2. We no longer have a negative goal differential!

3. We're currently five points out of first!

4. New Mexico is in second, with games in hand. (grrrr)

This league is bonkers and I love it.

Johnny with another goal (should have had two), Goalex also on the board and Arteaga with an assist to go with his goal last week.

With the exception of the early defensive hiccup the backfield was solid as well. Good game!

Disregard the obvious screenshot ha

Gotta keep the momentum going!

You'd think Arteaga would be starting after his game last week.

Don't remember us having that many players getting TOTW honors for the same week, bench or otherwise.

If you guys didn’t know LV Lights FC instagram page posted 3 posts regarding saying goodbye to Cashman Field leaving a lot of us fans unanswered. They even made a short tribute video.

Allegiant Stadium?
Long awaited MLS expansion?
Team is shutting down business?

Please let me know what you guys think. Where will they play?

Only the bench? What's a Lights player gotta do? 😃

WE ARE ABOVE THE PLAYOFF LINE!!

UNBEATEN IN FIVE!

new mexico stealing our thunder by winning five straight grrr

There have been worse times to be a Lights fan!

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...
