Brent Henley has an orange beard, Olivier Legault has an orange mohawk and Kevin Bertram has red hair.
Bob Langdon is the referee.
We'll see if she does it, but a very special person to the Komets is supposedly going to be wearing an orange wig. We'll see.
Muskegon just arrived at the coliseum, about 45 minutes late because of overheating bus issues. It shouldn't affect things too much.
Robin Bouchard won't play tonight and may miss the other two games this weekend because of concussion issues.
Tonight's playoff game will air Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 9 a.m. on Comcast 55 and Verizon 25.
Anybody know where I can find Andy Milne, Gerry Fleury or Mike McKay? I'm trying to put together a Where are they now? list for the next Komets book and those are the only three guys I haven't been able to find who played here at least one season. I've got to have the entire book finished by the end of the playoffs. So far I've found more than 800 former players. The book will be out opening night next season.

The best things about playoff hockey are....
Overtimes
No shootouts
Whiteouts or Orange outs
Post-series handshakes
Janice Shepler's ``It's time to get loud'' monster sign
6 p.m. Sunday starts
Seeing more FW fans at road games
Driving all night and still going to work in the morning
Reliving fantastic memories
Watching line matchups develop
Defensive shadows like Peter Hankinson
Rumors of what injuries actually are
Wondering if this will be the last time you hear Bob Chase on the Komets (it won't be)
Hot goaltenders
Playoff beards/haircuts
Blocked shots
There are a couple of stories. The first one is here, and the second one is here. There's a graphic to go with the second story, but you'll have to read the paper to see it. Also, check out the awesome photos. LOL.
These are under the category there are three kinds of lies: lies, d--- lies and statistics. Mark Twain said it originally. But they are still interesting.
* Entering these playoffs, the Komets have a lot less playoff championship experience than they usually do. Only Al Sims and Guy Dupuis from the 1993 Komets and Colin Chaulk and Kevin Bertram from the 2003 Komets have won pro playoff championships. Brandon Warner was part of Michigan State's 2007 NCAA championship team.
