Second time in three games they have lost a two-goal lead at home. TIm Haun did not have his best night. Over the last two weeks, Kevin Bertram is plus-9 and Bobby Phillips is plus-5 and everybody else on the team is something like minus-4. I think Phillips has been the Komets' best player besides Haun of late.
Matt Syroczynski looked great. Other than that, did you guys think anyone looked good? I felt like the Komets went to the net for the most part, but didn't see much paying the price to force one in as the IceHawks controlled the front. Other than Schrock, I can't remember too many hits.
I'm not seeing much chemistry on the ice at either end. Can't remember the last time the Komets forwards cycled down low to set up anything. Does it seem like all the rookies have plateaThey play five of their next six games away from home. I'm not sure all the guys coming back from IR are what is going to solve the problems.

JR just nailed it why I think everyone is so frustrated. If the Komets scored one more goal per game they'd be in first place by a mile, and if you look at this talent on paper, that goal and more should be there. Right now I think it's like everybody is waiting for someone else to step up and take the lead, when they all need to do that. Make sense?
Mike is also exactly correct, and Tim has been erasing every mistake up to last night. I was kidding Tim after the game and said, ``You're allowed to have one bad game a year. Only one, though, and that was it.'' Tim was talking about how he just missed the 2-on-1 goal and how he felt that could have turned the game around. That's how finite all of pro sports can be sometimes.
Hey Alan- he has a great goals against average and save percentage because they count at least five to seven dumps on power plays that happen to be in front of the goalie. Shots on goal are a little inflated if you ask me.
If the puck would go into the net if the goalie was not there its considered a shot on goal... How is that inflated if the goalie has to stop the puck from going into the goal???
