Everyone is waiting on news from NHL lockout to see what happens next.
Corey Elkins makes his move for the game-winning goal
It's 2-2 after two periods as once again the Komets can help themselves by staying out of the penalty box. They controlled the rest of the period except when someone was taking a penalty and they let Gwinnett regain the momentum.
Eric Giosa did a nice job clearing the front of the net from Gwinnett's Tyler Murovich
Then Thomas Beauregard got to this loose puck to score before getting buried by Gwinnett's Cody Brookwell.
Going on about the NHL lockout. There's talk of players coming home from Europe or heading to their home cities to be prepared for workouts when the lockout ends.
So far, there's nothing concrete, and you just wonder if it's too hopeful. There seems to be a little more credibility to these reports, but the animosity that has built up is so intense you wonder if they can find a way to get together.
The Anaheim Ducks, NHL parent club of the AHL’s Norfolk Admirals and ECHL’s Fort Wayne Komets, have reassigned forward Corey Elkins to the Komets from the Admirals. In addition, forward Luca Caputi and defenseman Nick Schaus have been returned on loan to Fort Wayne by Norfolk. The announcements were made today by Admirals Assistant General Manager Bob Ferguson.
No redeeming value to this game.
Thought Ryan Hegarty played well. Anybody else think of anyone else who stood out in a good way?

Two great passes, one by Brent Henley to set up J.M. Rizk on a breakaway, and another by Brett Smith to set up Scott Kishel for his first pro goal, have the Komets and Walleye tied 2-2 after the first period. Toledo is much faster, and Kenny Reiter needs to control some rebounds.
This is usually the fastest game of the year, and there were no penalties called in the first period.
Yep, it's like crickets around here again.
Why is it that after a win nobody ever wants to say much on here, but when there's negative stuff to be said, you can't get some people to shut up? That usually means means things turn personal and sometimes get out of control.
Do some people just need to have the license to gripe? Are they only happy if they can complain? Do they look forward to losing so they can go off?
