Komets

There are some games in a long season when a coach has to ask his goaltender to try to steal a win. Nick Boucher should be charged with grand larceny after Sunday.
Boucher made 44 saves as the Komets won 5-0 at Dayton to finish a four-game week with a 3-1 mark. Boucher improved to 11-4-0 on the road a night after the Komets lost a showdown with first-place Muskegon 4-3 at home.
“Bouch played a great game, probably the strongest game since he came back from the injury,” Komets coach Al Sims said.

The International Hockey League is proud to announce that Muskegon Lumberjack right wing Robin Bouchard netted his 683^rd career goal to become the all-time minor league goal scoring leader this evening. Bouchard passes former Bloomington PrairieThunder forward Don Parsons (682), who has not played since the 2008-09 season. The record-breaking goal was Bouchard's 56^th of the 09-10 season.

This is from a story that's going to run next week after I talked to Michael Franke:

What does that mean for the fans, as far a ticket prices?

You can watch them here.

Michigan vs. Bemidji State

And one person who did not think it was a very good game was Komets coach Al Sims.

``I didn't think it was great, not for us anyway. I thought we looked tired from Timmy Haun all the way out to everybody else. We didn't get the goaltending, and we didn't play good team defense. Our power play really let us down.

"Their big players came to play tonight, and they out-played our big players.

For the rest of the season, Live From Radio Rinkside, Legends of the Komets and Tales of the Komets will be on sale for $15 at Komet Kuarters and at the games. Those will go until we run out. Fair warning, there are lot more of Legends of the Komets available than Bob's book or Tales of the Komets, and once they are gone, that's all we've got unless you want to pay the higher price online.

It's 3-3 after two.

Here's Robin Bouchard's record-tying goal.

And here's Syro's goal that pto tie it.

Great game so far. Muskegon has shown 10 times as much fire as the Lumberjacks did last week. Robin Bouchard has two goals for the Lumberjacks and needs one more to tie Kevin Kerr's all-time minor league goal-scoring career record. Sean O'Connor and Lincoln Kaleigh Schrock have scored for the Komets.
