Komets

The game preview is here, last night's game story is here, and our first video blog is here.  We'll get better at the video as I'm going after some professional help for the next one.

Due to a problem at the printer's in Tennessee, "Legends of the Komets" will not be available for sale at tonight's game. Hopefully it will be ready to go in time for the next home game. I'll keep you posted.

Can be read here.

You can read it here.

* Jake Pence is going on the 30-day injured reserve list with some sore ribs. It's retroactive to last Saturday. He'll probably miss the first six games.

* The forward lines look like they are going to be Chaulk, Osman and Shafranov; Curadeau, Drouin and Hukalo and a combination of MacMillan, Legault, Gravelle and Varone. Oh, baby, that's going to be fun to watch that last one run over people.

* Defensive pairings are up in the air with the exception of Dupuis and Bertram. One of the reasons Al Sims is keeping eight D is because Warner, Pence and Holladay can all play forward.

You can see all of it here on our Komets site, including eight or nine stories and a preview of the next book.

Come back later for some more Komets news today.

Six pages of our season preview. It's a monster.

The Komets announced today that forwards J.P. Roy and Samuel Bergeron have been placed on waivers. The Komets' training camp roster is trimmed to 20 players including 10 forwards, eight defensemen and two goaltenders.

These are pictures of Indiana National Guard Staff Sergeant Mark Boner with his Komets flag in Iraq. He's currently trying to send back a video that maybe someday can be played on the new scoreboard.[gallery]

I'm probably opening a whole can of worms on this, but let's take this into a seperate post.

The cost to the teams to use the scoreboard is $500 per game. That's $20,000-plus per year for the Komets.
