* For the second time we saw two FW kids score a Komets goal. Bobby Phillips started playing hockey here when he was 3 1/2 and moved to Indy when he was 10.
* The last 10 games, Komets have out-shot opponents 98-70 in the third period but before tonight the third-period goals were 5-5. Still, that is shutting teams down in the third period.
* Larry Sterling has been in goal for only two of the IceHawks' last eight games in Fort Wayne.
* Smallest crowd of the season tonight, 7,283.
Seemed like everyone had some fun tonight at Larry's expense.
Komets won the game 4-2 as Lincoln Kaleigh Schrock and Sean O'Connor were the stars. The youngsters have really shown up big of late. Kind of a typical Port Huron road game, waiting to take advantage of mistakes for offense.
Don't forget it starts tonight and continues next weekend. You can read
I'll be on Jim Shovlin's Talking Sports today at 9:20 a.m. on ESPN 1380-AM.

You may have seen a little history tonight and not even realized it. The Komets' off-ice officials checked the tape after the game on Sean O'Connor's goal and added an assist to goaltender Tim Haun, giving him two assists tonight. He's the first Komets goaltender since Aaron MacDonald on Nov. 6, 1999 to get two assists in a game. That might be the team record, but no one knows officially if any Komets goaltender has ever had three in a game -- unless Dubchak (Neal) knows of someone.
The Komets' record for goaltender assists in a season is six by Murray Bannerman in 1977-78.
