I'm at the Notre Dame-Michigan State game at the coliseum, and you guys think IHL refs make too many calls? College refs call EVERYTHING. Power play after power play.
So what's the difference between IHL and college hockey? In college everyone hustles, even the linesmen. The players don't handle the puck as well so there's more opportunity for hitting because they don't move it as well. They aren't as skilled with their feet catching passes, either. It's a different kind of game.
There's maybe 2,500 fans here. Not as big a crowd as a Komets' exhibition game. Oh, and the music is pretty much the exact same thing you'd hear at Kom

I think we need between periods blogger boxing matches!
Is ian cole a local kid? ive never heard of him.
I read those blogs above yesterday and decided that silence is golden. I have enough problems without going out of my way to upset the people I call "Blogging friends" on this blog. I believe I served in the Army for people to have the absolute right to be wrong just like I served for those who are correct. Some just have to learn the hard way. I have learned the nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. There is a great need for a sarcasm font...I just don't know how many times I have wished for it!
BAM24 listens to Barry Manilow and strikes out in over 40 S L O W pitch softball. He likes long walks on the beach sipping Sammy Sosa's. He has also been featured on the kiss Kam, I think he should be Wendy's next interview.
No thanks. I have batting practice.
Bam24--It sounds like you need it. Maybe Burgee has been off his meds again. Sorry!
Holy cow! Like Alan and the rest of you, I must have missed something in reading the blogs yesterday. So for my 2 cents. I really don't know why Ctdangles34 had a moment. So my post is directed to that person.
Ctdangles34 - good morning. I am Andrea and I am a loyal Komet, Notre Dame, Rangers, and Avalanche hockey fan. I understand you wanting to defend Ian Cole and the rest of the players and I respect that. However, you do not need to insult anyone while defending your opinion. In my opinion, you insulted Brandon Warner (current Komet, former Spartan) because (I will use your words here), "he was not as good as the other players on his team that are now playing in the NHL or real legit hockey leagues." Based on this, I am assuming you do not feel that the IHL is a legit league. So, in your opinion, what is a legit league? Also, you stated that IHL players are less skilled. If memory serves me correct, there have been IHL players in the NHL (I would assume you have to have some skill to make it to that level) and in the AHL. You may not agree with that statement from me, but I'm sure I could find many others who would. Basically, this is what I am trying to say. I love that you are passionate about hockey. I do not appreciate how you blogged to the rest of the Komet fans. No one insulted any players from either team. No one dared to state that college hockey is 'horrible' (your word used for the IHL), and everyone realized the talent and passion that those young men had on the ice on Sunday evening. Those players for Notre Dame, Michigan State, even the players in the IHL and all other leagues have a talent that the majority of us do not possess. It is wrong to insult any of them when they could literally skate circles around us with their talent. I appreciate every person who has the talent and passion to step on the ice. I may not like everything they do, but again, I appreciate their talent, skill, passion, and want to continue living their dream of being a hockey player. I sincerely hope that the majority of the Notre Dame and Michigan State players make it to the NHL. That would be wonderful for them and also wonderful for all hockey fans. Yet, insulting people (players) and owners (Frankes), and fans (Komet fans) is not needed. If you don't like the product, the program, the fans, any of it, simply show your disgust by not attending the games. Thank you.
DSchebig - Thank you for serving our country in the Army. Current and former military should be appreciated everyday. Your sacrafice makes it possible, no matter what our opinions are, to share them with each other without fear. I appreciate what you have done.
Everyone could always use more practice. Burgee just likes to comment on obscure things that have nothing to do with hockey. I think he drank a few too many Barry Manilow drinks in the Dominican. I tried to get him to switch to Mamajuana, but he refused. You all are very brave riding on a bus with him for that long. I just hope there are no shark sightings for your sake. Good luck.
Hello everyone! I just finished uploading my photos of the Notre Dame game, I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I enjoyed taking them. Also, I hope everyone has a safe and happy thanksgiving! http://philharberphotography.shutterfly.com/
im suprised about how offended everyone is by dangles comments. i do not think any of the players or owners would be offended by what was said. they have better things to do than take to heart what every fan says. and how petty that any of you are so insulted by it. it isnt a suprise or shouldnt be to anyone that college hockey is a feeder league into the nhl and the ihl is mostly a league for talented players who are not skilled enough to be in the nhl. look how many minutes you all just wasted by getting your panties in a bunch over the comments of a blogger.
