Komets general manager David Franke made the trip this weekend to Missouri and Wichita.
``If we need to make changes, we're going to make changes,'' Franke said. ``I'm sure there will be changes made. If that means we have to change some faces, which will happen almost assuredly, that's what we'll do. We can't continue to go along the way we are now. We don't have everybody on board for one reason or another.''

I don't have a lot for you tonight because I'm on HS basketball and I didn't get to listen or see the game. Doesn't sound like missed much. Here's a couple notes I noticed in th box score:
For the second game in a row, veteran winger P.C. Drouin was held without a shot on goal, joined by fellow forwrads Sean O'Connor, Brandon Naurato and Kaleigh Schrock in getting held off the shot chart. The Fort Wayne defensemen had 13 shots on goal and the forwards only 12.
I wondered what the numbers were looking like in Muskegon, Flint and Port Huron.
Oh, my word!
Flint (Michigan in NAHL) 12,632 fans in 14 dates, 902 average
Port Huron (NAHL) 10,189 fans in 13 dates, 783 average. (Team is 1-20-1)
NAHL average is 1,267
Muskegon (USHL) 23,.531 for 11 dates, 2,139 average.

After riding the bike on Monday, defenseman Danko Mironovic and Derek Patrosso both had more problems from post-concussion symptoms and will be out of the lineup for at least another week. Mironovic is probably closer to returning than Patrosso.

It's a two-parter.
