With Marco Cousineau needing to sit out a while to heal a pulled groin (and no one knows how long), the Komets need another goaltender. Nick Boucher is probably a month away from coming back to the ice, though he feels great and is walking with no pain.
Gerry Festa is the most-likely candidate has he's playing with Dayton of the Federal Hockey League where he has a 3-1 record, 2.26 goals against average and .946 save percentage. He has 159 saves in only FOUR games. So he's certainly sharp.
From November 1992, which brings up some key additions to that team. This is from a road game in Milwaukee thanks to Dave Longsworth.
Again, best listened to using Mozilla Firefox.
Komets won 6-5 behind Thomas Beauregard's hat trick, but they lost goaltender Charlie Cousineau with 6:50 left to a pulled groin injury when he made this pad save.
This was off a 4-on-2. And he scored another seconds later off a turnover. It's 3-1 Komets who are about to go on the power play.
J.M. Rizk scores his second goal in two games off a great pass from Brandon Marino.
Off the power play by No. 9 John Armstrong.
Not sure if there are more Komets fans here today, but they are definitely just as loud as the Kzoo fans.
It's still early yet, but there are more Fort Wayne fans in the building than Kzoo fans.
Marco Cousineau is in net for the Ks, and Joe Cannata for the Wings.
Referee is Tom Chmielewski, whom I've never heard of.
Don't forget if you want to listen to the game it's on 106.7 FM.
If you haven't heard already, NHL announcing legend Mike Emrick is going to join Bob for Friday's game against Evansville. Consider with Terry Ficorelli also there, that's got to be some kind of record for veterans in terms of total years of broadcasting in on press box. Pretty amazing.
And we're off to Kalamazoo for tomorrow's afternoon game.
J.M. Rizk just pushed home a rebound off a long shot from Kaleigh Schrock to give the Komets a 3-2 lead early in the third period in Toledo. Shots are 20-19 Walleye with abut 13 minutes left.
Charlie Effinger stops Toledo's Randy Rowe point blank.
Seconds later Brent Henley deflected home a Daniel Maggio shots in front. Komets lead 2-1 late second.
First-period power-play goal ties it 1-1 deep into the first period.
Got to be the easiest possible trip in the world if you don't mind the boring Ohio countryside. Lots of Komets fans here already and Bob has talked to about 75 people already reliving Sports Arena memories. Beautiful arena. There's probably about 50 Komets fans here already. Parking is $10.
Noticed David Starenky has only played one game so far for the Walleye. Hope he's healthy.
Komets have put Scott Kishel on reserve to activate Thomas Beauregard.
Charlie Effinger is starting tonight for the Komets.
And who's going to Toledo tonight?
