Tailing the Komets

The Best of Bob Chase

CDs will be available at tomorrow's game at the souvenir stands. They cost $14.95. There are currently no plans to have Bob available to sign them after the game because he'll be getting on the bus right away to head to Rapid City. At least that's the plan.

Also, even though I might be on the way to Rapid City for Game 5, my books will be participating Saturday at the Allen County Public Library's Author Fair from Noon to 5 p.m. You can check out The Lake Effect and some other offerings from Revive World Media.

Question for you

Anybody remember another penalty shot at home during a playoff game other than Len Thornson in 1960? Already know it has to be pre-1996.

Whom would you start in Game 4?

Komets are going to stick with Kevin Reiter in net. Would you prefer him or Nick Boucher?

WANE's highlights

Greatest comeback ever

Not quite, but still amazing. The greatest comeback ever was in 1963 against Muskegon when the Komets trailed 6-1 on the road in the second period but still managed to come all the way back to win.

Or not

We're going to overtime. See the reverse psych

RC leads 2-0 after one

Kevin Reiter started in goal tonight, but there's not much he could have done on the two Rapid City goals in the first period. One was a screened shot from the point that Reiter never saw, and the second one was a rebound after he stopped the shot that went through two people in front but then another Rush player tapped it in.

How bad have the Komets loo

Lineup changes

CHL response

This is from CHL Director of Hockey Operations Jim Wiley:

“It was determined after extensive review that Mr. Reaney did not target the head nor was primary contact made to the head.  Mr. Reaney was given a major penalty by the on-ice official and no further disciplinary action was deemed necessary that would result in the player missing any game time.  Mr. Reaney was fined and put on notice for the dangerous hit.”

Update on Reaney

He has been fined an undisclosed amount by the league but will receive no additional suspension.

David Franke's response

``There is a rule about blind-side hits, and I think what they are doing is going by how the rule reads. I was there at the game and saw it happen. There was no penalty on it, but there is a rule regarding blindside hits and that's what they are working off of, especially with a player hurt. He did not deliberately hit him in the head, there's no elbow or no forearm. As their coach said, 10 years ago that would have been a clean hit, but now we have to be very concerned about the players' safety regarding concussions.”

O'Connor suspended indefinitely

The final determination to be made on number of games once medical documentation is sent to the league later today.  He is definitely out for Wednesday's game. 

No news yet on the Komets' asking the league to review Les Reaney's hit later on O'Connor.
