Komets are leaving Friday afternoon to go to Bloomington.
During today's practice, P.C. Drouin was dressed as the extra forward and the line combinations have not changed. Komets are being tight-lipped about what the lineup will look like on Saturday. There were no changes I could see with any of the defensive pairings, either.
Bobby Phillips skated at practice today.
Here's the details as released by the Komets:

And, yes, he has to play. Other than Syroczynski, he was the MVP of last year's playoffs. He was the laea
The Central Hockey League announced today that Fort Wayne's Nick Boucher has been named the Oakley Central Hockey League Goaltender of the Week for the period ending March 27, 2011 (the final week of the regular season). It marks the second time this seas
Here are some key match-ups to consider:
Colin Chaulk vs. Jason Dale: Dale is the one player for Bloomington who is good enough to take over this series. There was a 20-game stretch around the all-star game where he was the best player in the league. Keeping the puck away from him has a lot to do with winning faceoffs.
Tab Lardner vs. Travis Granbois: Can the PrairieThunder's superpest get under Lardner's skin. You know he's going to try. This won't be about someone else standing up for Lardner, either, but about Lardner avoiding retaliation penalties.
"Obviously the past four years have been special for me. It's been my dream as a little kid growing up to someday play for the Komets. I can't let this take away anything from what we've done the last three years. Even this year, to look at where we came from, as low as you can possibly get as a team, to climbing back and finishing the year pretty good.
The Komets had to remove two players from the regular season roster to reach the allotted nineteen allowed for the playoffs. The two players removed were defenseman Brandon Warner and forward Jon Mirasty. Warner will remain on injured reserve and assist the coaching staff during Komet home playoff games. The Komets elected to include one amateur player, forward Tom Mele from American International College.

How many games will the series goe and who wins? Then tell me why you think it will go that way.
We'll do it during the Bloomington game which starts at 4 p.m.
``To get three out of four points from Colorado, I think everybody thought was unlikely. I think our team really showed their true colors, championship form, whatever you want to call it. We've got a lot of guys who have won here and wanted to show Colorado that we can play with them and we can beat them. I don't think Colorado wants to play us, to tell you the truth. I think they'd rather play somebody else. We shut them down tonight.
