Sgroi is a glorified baboon. Do they pay that fool in bananas?

Sgroi killed us...and we had no one to answer most of the IceMen's physical onslaught.

That said -- very entertaining 3rd period. :-)

Well Mr S, at least you did not call her a Komet fan. That might have been taking it a little too far. Passionate, perhaps. A fan? I'd never give that title to someone who roots against the Komets depending on who they are playing.

I'm a "love 'em or hate 'em" sort of girl. Even after a game like tonight, I love the Komets and will not wear another CHL jersey, especially in the Jungle. That would be just wrong to me.

Hope all the Evansville people are safe going back home, and that the one who tried to start Krap with Jungle Monkey has a hella headache in the morning. :)

Sgori played a regular shift. A very physical and imposing shift at that. He isn't a 50 goal scorer, but he can skate and get into the other teams jock. He's an oversized morency/wood.

I gotta say I never even noticed Sgroi until the fight. I couldn't even tell when he was on the ice.

Strange...i noticed Sgroi out there everytime he hit the ice. But i was sitting 217, row 4....seat 11.

Hit Somebody!!!

Yeah, I also noticed Sgroi every time he was on the ice (which was a good amount) but if I had to sit next to a yabba dabba doo-ing Fic I would be distracted too so it's unterstandable

I just got new glasses & saw Sgroi everytime he scared a K's player.

I don't get that how Boucher can be blamed for every goal last night. FYI, I haven't read the comments, but I'm going off by JerseyGirl's actions everytime Evansville scored. Boucher is hardly to blame. What did Boucher do to HER that she hates him so much? Don't tell me the reason is that the FANS love him so much, thinking he's the best goalie...because if that is the reason, hate the FANS then. I'm just trying to look at things at a logical standpoint. Hate a player fine, but don't have clouded judgement that you can't even admit when they are good. Hell, I hated Robin Bouchard with a passion, but at least I can admit that he's a good player.

If Sgroi is your man crush, of course you are going to notice everything he does.... Eville killed us all over the ice, that I couldn't keep up with any of them

I agree with you BLB - it is a disgrace for her to wear a Komet jersey when she regularly brings her Larry Sterling jersey with her.

I kind of get the fact that she was getting on Boucher. The fans and organization builds the guy up, they don't bring in a legit backup to compete with him. Sometimes when you're the man you have to take the heat. Boucher is very good at voicing displeasure with his defensemen, I guess whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

That being said, when you wear a Larry Sterling jersey to the jungle you ask for negative attention.

And I believe attention is the key word, JM

I like it as well. Not because I think Boucher is as worthless as she does but because she isn't afraid to call out an "untouchable" player and she doesn't care if people do not like it. Lol maybe I found my long lost sister!

Well, don't act like you are a Komet fan if you aren't one. That's all I ask. I don't care whose fan you are, that's just the way I am. I hate the Steelers, and would never wear their crap. I love the Browns, even though they cannot ever seem to get their poop in a group. Fan, no matter what. I would never be so "spirited" that I would wear a Roethlisberger jersey in Cleveland. Especially not for the attention. Just my opinion.

Besides intimidation, what did Sgroi contribute to their bench last night?

BLB I hear you. I have no idea her reasons for the Sterling jersey as the only time I ever saw her was last night with the Haun jersey.

I didn't see the Komets players that intimidated byt Sgroi. I didn't focus on him though. When I did notice him he looked like he could skate and keep up with the flow of play. I don't see him as a big lug who looks out of place. I also don't see players afraid to get near him. Like I said, I think he could play here but the overhype and overvalue of him on these forums might doom him before he ever skated a shift.

That worthless goon that wastes a roster spot does it for a team that beat the Komets 5-0. I guess I wouldn't judge the Evansville GM for signing him.

Why do I wear a Sterling jersey? For the same reason I went to six games in Mississippi last season. Yeah....I guess I went to Mussissippi for the attention, right? Lol. It's just silly to think I can't wear a Komets jersey or be a Komets fan just because I also like another player or team. Snuff hit the nail on the head with his guess why I yell at Bouche. Its kinda funny though all the obscenities FW fans scream at Larry and all the things I've read on this blog about him, but I express displeasure with Fort Wayne's golden boy and I'm a disgrace to a Komets jersey? Get real....the disgrace was all the Komets fans yelling obscenities to the Evansville fans, including children. The bottom line is I really couldn't care less what people think of me. I'm going to support the players and teams I like and be vocal about who I don't like.....no matter if its popular opinion or not.

You go to another team's barn and wear your teams colors, scream and yell for your team, dont go in expecting to be given the red carper treatment.... Geez, this is sports where fanatics attend the games, add caffeine, sugar, alcohol, foo-foos to that equation and the fur tends to fly...lol

That is part of the fun! How riled up can you get the other teams fans...ha ha...

BTW, the kids hear worse in the hallways and classrooms at school, so quit trying to make cursing out to be so horrible around the innocent children....

Ok... lets not defend cursing. It goes on, you have to expect to hear it...but let's not defend it like it is "right".
But you are right there is alot of fun in wearing opposing colors in a visiting building. I made the trip to Rockford a few years ago on a whim during for game 6 of the playoffs. Actually the fans there were awesome. They needled me a bit but it was all in good fun. The same can't be said when I showed up at a Mechanics game. I did NOT feel welcome there.

Jerseygirl you keep doing your thing! It's only sports. Have fun with it. It's not like you were cursing at him or calling out his family. You made an otherwise boring night very entertaining. One thing though... I don't know if that was your boyfriend or your brother sitting to your left.... but he is lucky to have his teeth!! Guy needs to wear a helmet or at very least a mouthguard sitting near you lol.
