Tailing the Komets

What Al Sims had to say

I think we got beat in every facet of the game out there. We've got some work to do this week.

``You high stick people in the face, you're going to get a penalty. I couldn't really see Brandon's second penalty in the near corner here, but Frankie's penalty, I don't know about interference, but you know, we shot outselves in the foot. We certainly can't blame the referee. I thought he called an OK game.

l; font-size: x-small;">I think they showed why they are the best team in that league, for sure. They are well coached, and I thought their team played really well and played their systems well. They really had us bottled up in the neutral zone where all we could really do was dump it in and try to get it back, and our power play and penalty kill need work. There's no doubt about it. We haven't had enough time yet. Our power play has to get better and so does our penalty killing. That will happen with time.

 
Bouch I thought played well. He kept us in it at 2-0 and gave us an opportunity to get a goal, but we had three breakaways. He's a very tough goalie to deke, and all three guys tried to deke him. He played outstanding. When their team needed the save, he made huge saves for them.

Dschebig was first due to the new league, then chuckitt and mightbite due to tantrums. Burgee, are you still out there? Theyre dropping like flies. Mightbite sure loved his Wendy. If she was let go last year before the playoffs, why the meltdown now?

Who let Wendy go? Wasn't that a volunteer thing? I wouldn't have thought tim and randy would have dumped her.

Early this year and even last year I expressed concerns about the age of this team. I said that I was concerned our vets would tire even more quickly with the extended travel and the speed of this league. I stated there was no way Guy Dupuis was anything but a 5th or 6th defenseman in this league.
I also said when Legault was brought back at training camp that if he played any significant minutes this team was in trouble.
They looked slow and took needless and careless penalties along with penalties due to not being able to keep up. Puck posession was close to 2 to 1 for the Rush I would guess.
I have 100% confidence in Al Sims, the Frankes and the Komets organization to make the needed adjustments. Will they win a cup this year? Who knows? Will they sit back and allow much more of what happened last night? Of course not. Changes will be made. First with practice and work and then with personel. The Komets have never (in the nearly 20 years I have watched them) sat back and allowed a season to go by without at least trying to get better if needed.

Snuff: Great post. I just hope if changes need to be made with a couple vets, the front office has the courage to make them. At this point Im not sure it does.

I'm biting my tongue, don't want to get yelled at for calling out the N E L L I E S ! 1 game and the Nellies are out in full force.

I am going to pick on the Nellies until mid january when they will hide like they do every year.

I miss Komet Warrior, Man! I really miss the OHIC updates.

Thanks RK... I can be sane every once in awhile ;)

I saw the North Stars jersey. Next time I go I'll bring my Jacques Cloutier Nordiques jersey or my Kay Whitmore Whalers jersey. Maybe Larry can play the brass bonanza once in awhile?
