Here's the game story, and here's the notebook. Make sure to check out Ellie Bogue's photos. She had a great night.
Sean O'Connor is this year's Justin Hodgman... Jake Pence played fantastic tonight... How good was Danko Mironivic?... Colin Chaulk won 75 percent of his faceoffs... Komets won the scoring chances 30-20... Komets' speed killed Kalamazoo's defense... With the exception of Hodgman's misconduct penalty for shooting the puck at Stayzer's stick and knocking it away as the Wing tried to pick it up, the Komets kept their cool... It was fun watching Al Sims and Nick Bootland try to match-up lines... How about Mathieu Curadeau's atempt to draw a high sticking penalty on Kalamazoo's Jordan Little.
Rick "Harley" Sosenheimer won the Blogger's musical chairs. Nice effort, everyone.
Sounds like everybody's getting pretty feisty. Some of you already have your gameface on!
Can be read here.
Another big key to the series: The Komets have shown a trend of falling behind early of late and then roaring back. They can't do that in this series. Also, anybody want to bet Nick Bootland is playing the "They have three all-stars and we don't have anybody" card?
Anybody who went to the TinCaps game tonight, how was it? Parking, traffic, food,
There's the announcement of the all-IHL team, but most of you will probably have more interest in the scouting report. The key stuff is near the bottom.
You should check out this video of The News-Sentinel's tour of Parkview Field with Reggie Hayes and videographer Chad Ryan. It's pretty cool.

If you ever wondered who Joe Turner of the Turner Cup was, here's an interesting article.
You can watch it here. There are a million possibilities, so please, no jokes about hairlines except I'll say Al will be the guy on the right.
The boy on the left is Jonathan Shepler, and the guy making the funny face is his brother... Blake. No kidding. It's true, and I had nothing to do with it.
One is about the etching of all the names on the new Turner Cup, and the second is a notebook with some interesting stuff. Yes, that is a technical term.
