Ryan Hegarty has a broken hand, but he's skating to stay in shape while it heals.
Eric Giosa says he's hoping to be able to skate next week with his high ankle sprain
Matt Kennedy is out for a while after getting hit with a shot in the leg on Wednesday.
All are on the 21-day injured reserve list.
Anybody need a good book to read? Everybody checking out Mike Emrick with the Komets game tonight should check out Bob Chase's biography. Mike wrote the foreward to it.
Komets coach Al Sims was on the BS Sports Report today and said he's heard the NHL will start up again on Dec. 1 and play a 66-game schedule. Sims did not name his sources, but I'd say he's fairly well connected.
It's not going to post on this format but here's the link: http://youtu.be/fwWwWL_pwSk
He's Anaheim's assistant GM and he talks a lot about the kids the Ducks have sent to Fort Wayne. He also talks about what could happen if the NHL lockout ends and how it could affect the Komets.
From Vinnie Lopes. Check out the passing on the Komets' goal to tie the game from Josh Brittain.
Pretty much everybody, but there have been a few players who have stood out to me.
Stephon Thorne was the No. 1 star today, and he played well, but no one on the entire team is playing better than J.M. Rizk right now. He was all over the ice today and his defensive game might have been better than his offensive game with a goal and an assist. He's really on a tear, which is amazing considering he's always going against the opponents' No. 1 center.
Gives you a little idea of how loud it was there today.
``I think once it starts, I thought it was a 7:30 p.m. game. I really had no idea until I looked up at the clock and saw it was Noon. You don’t really realize it, you just get into it and it’s just another game. It’s a practice time so guys are used to skating at this time and it’s not too bad.''
Also, turns out Matt Kennedy didn't get punched in the head as it appeared. He got nailed with a shot in front of the net. He's OK.
Though they trailed 2-1 in the third period. Goals by Rizk, Thorne, Brittain and Smith. All the details are on the live blog link. We're heading home ASAP so I can get a flat tire fixed before closing time. We'll have a story up later tonight.
Don't forget we're going to live blog throughout the game. We're going to be using a different format than usual. I'll post the details when we get there.
The Komets have said that it is very unlikely they'll be able to produce a CD of Friday's game when Bob Chase works with Mike Emrick. They'd have to get permission from NBC, WOWO, Emrick, etc. Emrick had to get permission from NBC to go this far with it.
The Komets are encouraging fans to bring their radios, phones or whatever devices they choose to listen along with the game.
The all-new, hopefully easier to read and understand poll of ECHL teams from Joe Stanford.
