While Bob is away

The Komets announced Friday that legendary broadcaster Bob Chase, voice of the Komets since 1953, will be visiting his native Upper Peninsula of Michigan for the weekend to be inducted into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan Sports Hall of Fame.  Due to the induction ceremony to be held Saturday night in Escanaba, Michigan, Chase will miss two Komet playoff games this weekend.  Chase, a native of the U.P., was born in Negaunee and raised in Marquette.

2-0 Wings

Goals by Justin Cross and John Glavota. It could have been a lot worse, but Mark Nebus missed a penalty shot on Nick Boucher. Komets are not hitting and not getting to rebounds. Wings have gotten behind the D on two plays and cashed on both. Komets could have an argument on Kalamazoo's first goal as a forward was holding the stick of the Komets' Sean O'Connor on the play, but there was no call, and then O'Connor got a misconduct for arguing. Nick Boucher continues t

Scoreless first period

Komets had 19 shots, and quite a few of them were quality, but they were all hitting Joel Martin in the chest. Komets continue to absolutely dominate the faceoff circle. They won 10 in a row at one point in the first.

Komets General Manager David Franke dropped off the Turner Cup at the IHL offices today.

Notes on Game 3

Moving Chaulk to the point of the power play was a GREAT wrinkle for Game 3... Sean O'Connor leads the team with 19 shots, five more than anyone else... Komets have out-scored Kalamazoo 6-0 in the second periods... Maybe Nick Boucher wouldn't have needed it, but Sebastian Laplante did a fantastic job of getting in Boucher's ear immediately after Saturday's game and making sure he stayed calm... The pairing of Keith Rodger and Rod Aldoff are plus-3 so far, which is impressive considering how much the Wings are going after the rookie...

Sacrilege!

At this rate, Brad MacMillan is going to be way too valuable to waste his time fighting. The Komets can't afford for him to sit out five minutes.

It's 1-0 after the first period. They changed the goal from MacMillan to Keith Rodger.

BTW, Komets GM David Franke and President Michael Franke both said the goal judge got the call right in Kalamazoo on Saturday.

Komets have moved Colin Chaulk to the point on the power play.

Nick Boucher was even better in the first period than he's been in the first two games.

Long, long game

That was the fourth-longest overtime game in Komets history following the four-overtime contest on April 14, 1960, a three-overtime game on April 19, 1996, and last spring's three-overtime Game 7 on May 12, which isl the only time the Komets have won an overtime game that lasted past the first extra period. The Komets are now 1-11 in games that last double ovetime or longer.
