I'm at the Notre Dame-Michigan State game at the coliseum, and you guys think IHL refs make too many calls? College refs call EVERYTHING. Power play after power play.
So what's the difference between IHL and college hockey? In college everyone hustles, even the linesmen. The players don't handle the puck as well so there's more opportunity for hitting because they don't move it as well. They aren't as skilled with their feet catching passes, either. It's a different kind of game.
Two International Hockey League teams and an American Hockey League club are profiled this week on Puska on Pucks, The Original Internet Hockey Show.
Host Denis J. Puska is on location from Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland Ohio as well as Perani Arena and Event Center in Flint Michigan.
One night after losing their first home game of the season, the Fort Wayne Komets gave the Bloomington PrairieThunder their first home loss on Saturday night. Leo Thomas, Keith Rodger and Justin Chwedoruk scored and Tim Haun made 35 saves in a 3-1 Fort Wayne win.
``It's huge for us,'' Komets coach Al Sims said. ``This team was undefeated at home and they are a really quick and offensive team. To hold them to one goal ine tteir building is really a good job.''
Friday, Nov. 27 at Muskegon.

I hate it when a handful of fans make all the crowd look bush league like happened tonight. That was ridiculous. Throwing crap didn't accomplish anything other than embarassing everyone else. No excuse.
