Tailing the Komets

Some more updates

``And we're starting to turn up the heat on a goalie or two,'' he said. ``Most of the talks we're having center around offensive forwards.''

As for the toughness factor, Franke said he thinks the Komets have enough with Lincoln Kaleigh Schrock, Craig Ceson, Dustin and Bryant Molle, rookie Stephon Thorne, defenseman Dave Starenky and rookie Adam Krug.

``If we're going to have a 10th forward tough guy it has to be somebody who can play,'' Franke said. ``I think we have enough toughness. We're not going to have a 6-5 goon who can't play because at the end of the day skill will win over toughness. We've got plenty right now and we still have two months before we play the first game.''

Franke said the Komets have not talked recently with free agent forward Justin Hodgman, and Komets coach Al Sims said he liked three players from last week's junior camp in Shelburne, Ontario. The Komets have invited forwards Fredric Korduner and Eric Yngwe, both from Sweden, to training camp.

They are also looking into inviting center Stanislav Dzakhov. Because he's only 18 years old, Dzakhov may be ineligible under CHL rules.

If you want to take Facebook as gospel, then by all means do...

The K's announced Smith and Milam on a Thursday if I remember correctly, so I wouldnt say that no news will come out until we hit Friday....

Not too worried, still alot of time to go before camp and there are still alot of good players out there unsigned...

But obviously it's true if the All mighty Mightbite says it's confirmed and just waiting on the league. What makes Mightbite any different then Mike Sgroi saying so on his on face book profile. Not some fan page....Why would he get on and and just randomly say that?

Sgroi's breakfast consisted of lead based paint, two keystone light cans, 6 eggs, and a pound of bacon. The guy eats thunder and craps lightning. He's the best thing to happen to the CHL since Jon Mirasty.

Before any purists loose their minds, this post is typed in a joking manner.

Thought you'd luv that Jingle Moonkey.

Wasn't there a blog debate about the word "lose" and some people would always spell it "loose".....
