Tailing the Komets

Couple things

I asked Kevin Bertram about Saturday's incident and he declined to comment.

Komets captain Guy Dupuis said: ``We had a talk before the game and both guys settled that. We know it wasn't in malice. It wasn't something personal. It was two guys, 20 guys who want to win really badly and we get excited out there. It's not because we don't like a guy personally. We don't take it personally. When you want it that badly, sometimes you lose your emotions and that's what happened, and we know that.''

Komets coach Al Sims said he'll likely decide Tuedsay who will start in goal on Wedneday in Muskegon.

I also finally got to ask Matt Reynolds about the game-winning goal from Saturday night that he shot off the goal line.  Was it in?

``I don't think so,'' Reynolds said. ``I don't understand how from his (the goal judge's) angle he sees over my stick and the puck and sees white between the red and the puck. He didn't even have the light on until after.''

You can't tell from the game tape anything about whether the goal was in or not. It doesn't matter now. It kind of reminded me of the goal A.J. Bozoian saved last year in Chicago that should have resulted in a penalty shot but did not. He covered the puck with his hand in the crease and them pulled it back to shove it outside the crease, but the ref missed it.

Things always seem to have a way of evening out.

No one seems to think Colin Chaulk will face any other suspension from leaving the bench. He went over to ask the referee about the goal light going on, but the altercation was still going on. The rule book says 10 games, but that's only if you leave the bench to get involved in an altercation. Don Parsons of Bloomington left the bench earlier this year in a game in Fort Wayne to jump on Mitch Woods' back and only got two games. The game misconduct was the correct call.

There's going to be some more notes in tomorrow's paper.

I don't think Chaulk should be suspended for coming off the bench to ask about the goal light coming on. After he asked his question I think he went back to the bench. Now if he was out there trying to start something that would be different. BTW, I liked the new "K's Skating Boogie" song that was played tonight between the second and third periods, very cool.

I will have to 100% agree with Dupius comments.....I heard some folks Boo Bertram and Boucher when they came out tonight and I was disappointed...We as fans have no idea what goes in the locker room after the games. I am sure emotions were high no thanks to the officials and I am sure it does get frustrating when things are so chaotic...but We as fans have to support our team and show up every night to cheer on the boys...no matter what...because that is what fans are supposed to do.

And I to...loved that song...the things that they come up with are just crazy sometimes...lol

AFTER THE GAME I WAS TOLD BY A UNNAMED IHL OFFICIAL AS WELL AS THE REFEREE THAT THEY DID NOT THINK COLIN CHAULK WOULD GET ANY SUSPENSION. THE REFEREE TOLD ME "I HAVE THE HIGHEST RESPECT FOR COLIN CHAULK" "MY LINESMAN WHERE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ATERCATION AND I MUST MAKE THAT CALL." HE LET THEM PLAY WHEN HE COULD. I THINK HE CALLED A VERY GOOD GAME. ALL OF THE PENALTIES WERE THE RIGHT CALL. THERE WAS A LITTLE CONFUSION ON THE DOUBLE FIGHT CALL ON SEGAL BUT IN THE END HE AND I GOT IT RIGHT.

Does anyone have the words to the K's Skate Boogie? That was pretty awesome but I didn't catch all the words.

I know there is a rulebook for things like penalties, equipment, etc. (and in fact have one downloaded on the desktop of my computer). Is there a similar book for the official scorer? On Sunday, for example, the five minute major given to the Fury gave us a power play. In the middle of that penalty there was a Komets 2 minute penalty that made it even strength. Our penalty expired and it went back to a power play. Does that count as 2 power plays for us in the stats? How does the official scorer know what to do?
