Komets

Can be read here for the regular Komets and here for the Legends.

The video is very clear on Brad MacMillan's elbowing major against Glenn Detulleo. It's a sure bet the league will review this one for a probable suspension. I'd expect it to be at least five games.

The Komets Legends gave a credible performance but lost 4-1 to the Detroit Red Wings Alumni before an estimated 3,000 fans at Memorial Coliseum. The Red Wings led 1-0 after the first of two periods on a goal by Dan Newman. Detroit came out on a surge to start the second period and led 3-0 on goals by Dennis Hextall and Tom Williams. After Williams scored again to make it 4-0, Dusty Virag finally scored for the Komets.

It was pretty obvious the Red Wings play together regularly, while many of the Komets were playing for the first time in four years.

Bob and I are going to be at Komet Kuarters from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday. I believe P.C. Drouin and Leo Thomas are also going to be there.

The Komets won in Port Huron 3-1 tonight to pull within four points of the first-place IceHawks with a game in hand. Rick Varone, Olivier Legault and Mathieu Curadeau scored for the Komets who won for the 20th time on the road this season. That's the third season in a row they've done that.

"We had to come up here and win, and we got the win in the third," Komets coach Al Sims said. "It's a huge win for our group. I think a loss here could have made first place very unattainable."

About the Legends game? It's been 11 years since the last one, not counting the off-season game Frenchy organized in 2005. Be sure to be there by 4:30 when the introductions will begin, including those Komets legends who are not playing in the game. Two 20-minute periods with running clock. That ought to be plenty for

Lee Norwood and Pat Ribble are both out; former Komet Darren Banks, goaltender Eddie Mio and John Tamer.

Went to the coliseum to watch the Komets Legends skate in preparation for Saturday's game. I think we had more fun on the bench than they had on the ice because everyone was cutting each other up. Saturday should be quite a bit of fun. Can you believe the Komets haven't had a legends came since 1998? You're going to want to be at the coliseum by 4:30 p.m. on Saturday to be there for the introductions.
