If you look at the standings in the nine team Turner Conference with the exception of Bloomington, the IHL teams are six through nine. Yes they are all doing better than the Komets but no one else including all nine teams in the Berry Conference. As the current standings attest the reality is the IHL was a weaker league.
Why would the waive notice not include the info that Naurato requested to be released due to personal reasons? Just a little pet peeve: Will you all please stop hashing and repeating that the K's problems are due to moving to the CHL. It has nothing to do with the CHL. All of the other IHL teams are competitive in the new league. Put that theory to bed once and for all. There is some other problem(s) with the K's this season. Hope it can be solved so that we at least make the playoffs. Still rooting for the home team. Go Komets!
The IHL2 was 1 step below the NHL
Hey, maybe we could get this guy to play for us and then we could get the "elephant off our back"!

The other IHL teams do not have basically the same rosters as last year. Without checking, I'd say most returned 7-8 guys. Most of them added CHL and ECHL guys, and those guys are on their top lines. Look at Quad City for example. Shelast, McLean Giosa have been their top line. Aduba and Pearson are really their only old IHL guys exceling. With the recent additons QC made of Jarman, Riddle and now Kelly, I bet the other old IHL guys get bumped down even further. They replaced both goalies and already even waived Michel Robinson for not performing. And that's just Quad City! he other teams have probably made similar moves to improve.
Naurato has been claimed by Dayton.
Dayton takes Naurato and his reasons for asking to be waived from Fort Wayne were personal?
So does Naurato just stay here since we play Dayton the next 4 days. He could have all the Gems over for a party. You know he will light us up like a Christmas tree.
Next 4 GAMES-sorry
If Georges Laraque would "ever" play for the komets,I would be the happiest in the world :)
JB, all because his reasons were personal it doesn't mean they were at home...
Personal = I don't want to talk about it
Being "claimed" by Dayton doesn't mean he will report or wanted to go to Dayton. They just own his rights in the CHL.
When you're a last place team, people quit. Now we can all imagine what it was like in places like Flint the last few years. Good luck to BN whether it be in Dayton or elsewhere.
JM, thanks for the explanation. Didn't realize Dayton owned Naurato's rights in the CHL. Sorry to see him go.
I haven't posted for awhile but any word on how this new kid from Russia is looking in practice? Losing Naurato doesn't bother me either. He wasn't impressing me much at all. And I hope it helps getting Patrosso and Danko back. Remember they were playing when the Komets won all 3 games over Thanksgiving and we haven't won since then while they were on IR. I hope thats not a coincidence. I think the Komets miss Danko more than any of us realize. Seems the defense hasn't been what we have all been used too the last few games. Anyway going Saturday night and am hoping for a good game and win. Go Komets.
OMG did Drouin score ...... lol maybe he is lighter now he dont have that "A" slowing him down ....
Guys and Gals.....
I am at a loss for words for this team.
I thought that first period the Komets looked better attacking the offensive zone and pressuring the puck, the back-end defense looks bad. Way too many times do our d-men get caught and they leave the net wide-open for easy shots or they don't clear the front of the net and Mallards camp-out around the net.
Is this problem the fact our D-Men aren't physical at all?
We need more physical play and we need the Defense to puch the opponents away from good shooting angles. That was the hallmark of Komet teams the past several years, pushing the shooters to the boards not allowing good looks....
Maybe if this team totally starts playing physical and solid defense, then the goals might come from that play???
Where is Chris Francis tonight? We are playing a man short, and missing him alot IMO.
Reiter just took the pipes to start the 2nd.
3-1 Ducks to start the 2nd.
QC is 3 for 3 on the Powerplay thus far.
2nd period.....back to cruise control and floating.
I don't see anyone going balls to the walls right now.
Fire them all?
5-1 Mallrds......another PP goal.
This sucks.
um 4 for 4
lol I want my 7.00 back
That was a great job by the Frankes and Sims on shaking this team up.
They are playing great now that Guy isn't the Captain.
Move of the year right there.
Pass the Captain Duties around to the same teammates.....
Same crappy team.
They need a Surgeon to Remove the Cancer on this team.
When does Chaulk's Plane Arrive? I will personally pick him up.
Scoring correction.....they gave PC's goal to Curadeau.
Not that it makes a hill of beans at this point.
well if we are removing letters from jerseys I believe they need to remove the "K O M E T S " from PC, GUY, and CURDY. I know it has been said b4 but here goes ... I would rather see young guys BUST TAIL and lose ....... than see this.
"I would rather see young guys BUST TAIL and lose
LOL @ chase ...... on the feed " WE CANT PLAY " its embarrassing
worth the 7.00 right there
Who out there heard the Hextall interview.
