Komets

Olivier Legault is staying on IR for the present time but will not be moved to the 45-day IR. The Komets are waiting until P.C. Drouin goes back to the doctor on Monday to make a final decision on his status, and if he goes on IR, Olivier would come off and be eligible to play.

I'm getting emails, text messages and all sorts of reminders to suggest fans wear orange to the home games. So there, I've officially reminded you so I can get these fanatics off my back!

I think it will look something like this, but with emore orange.

Ross Kinsey from WANE and I sat down today and you can watch it here.

Meet Ed Hammond who filled in for Bob Chase here. We had some fun.

There's some highlights from Chad at the end of this. The man can flat out handle a camera.

Ting, ting.

First off, I would ask you to please pick up a copy of the paper tonight if at all possible, since that's how we measure whether special sections like this are successful or not. If you already get the paper, maybe even buy an extra one for a keepsake? Thanks.

Overall preview is here.

My column on predictions is here.

OK, to help start getting you fired up for Thursday, take a look at this list which will be the first comment. A friend once came up with this list of What The Komets Mean to Fort Wayne... and I added a few. Add some more to it and see what we can come up with.

A feature on David Hukalo is here, and a notebook talking about how the Memorial Coliseum crew takes care of the ice at this time of the year is here.

We'll also have a special four-page section on the finals coming Wednesday. Sleep? I don't need no stinking sleep!

Not sure what to think of this, but I got this email today saying potential owners are negotiating with the IHL.

If you are really serious, you 1.) do not send out a press release; 2.) do not send it out the week of the finals; 3.) before you have all your ducks lined up; 4.) mention anything at all about maybe playing at Conseco. Please, do you want to go bankrupt?; 5.) do it before talking to anyone officially, in person, from the league, such as say, the president of the Board of Governors who happens to reside in Fort Wayne. The league got the same email

That said, good luck to them.
