So far today I have found out that Brent Rumble has decided to retire, and David Carpentier will be joining Rob Guinn with New Mexico of the Central Hockey League. A.J. Bozoian just had minor surgery on his knee for a slight meniscus tear, but he's already playing golf.

The Komets are releasing this morning that defenseman Guy Dupuis has signed a one-year deal for his 10th season with the team.
Well, I'm back. Please hold your applause (kidding). Since there is absolutely nothing going on as of this moment, and I'm tired of reading all the sniping, I thought I'd start out with posting the rules again.
Here they are:
1. I'll be making them up as I go. I'd much prefer to answer questions from you than spout off all the time. I'm sure you'd much prefer that as well.
He told me today that he met again with the Frankes and he was encouraged. ``They told me what they want from me, and I told them what I need from them,'' he said. ``Now we're talking numbers.''
A decision will probably be made by Tuesday.
In other news, Hit, what's the deal? I leave you in charge and you take down the whole system! 97, hours Hit Somebody forced the system to crash with his numbers game!
Oh, well, I'm going back to counting 99 bottles of beer on the bar. Blake
He said nothing was decided today and he's supposed to meet with the Frankes again on Wednesday. There's some obvious thawing going on, and as he said, ``We're still talking.'' It could go either way.
The Fort Wayne Komets have selected Pat Bingham as the 25th coach in the team's 55-year history. Bingham, 37, edged out John Marks to replace Greg Puhalski who recently became coach of the United Hockey League's Chicago Hounds.
Komets General Manager David Franke said it was the toughest of the eight coaching choices he's had to make since his family bought the team in 1990.
If you want to talk about them, let's do it here.
My point is, with it being down to two candidates, anybody could say anything so it's an easy rumor. Unless someone is willing to put their own name down and their sources, there's no point to them. It's too easy to do it when you don't have to identify yourself or put your reputation or your sources on the line. Big deal, it's a rumor. There's no consequences if you are wrong so anyone can throw anything out there. C'mon, take a real chance.
Not trying to be sarcastic or anything, but do any of you work during the day? LOL. How do you get away with posting on the blog during work hours? Certainly glad to have you along, but just wondering how you get away with it. It cracks me up how many more posts we get during the day than at night. Tony, you're exempt from this one because we know you are self-employed.
