Tailing the Komets

Some notes to keep you busy

* The Komets are 8-15-0 this season against the top four teams in the UHL, Muskegon, Rockford, Kalamazoo and Danbury, but they are 6-3 in their last nine games against the elite teams. That means they are 30-9-4 against everyone else.

* Since the Komets started the season 5-11-2, they've gone 33-13-2. Here's how that compares with the elite teams in the UHL: Danbury 31-8-9, Muskegon 31-12-6, Kalamazoo 31-11-6 and Rockford 29-12-6.

* Lance Galbraith, Colin Chaulk and P.C. Drouin have contracts running through next season, and Kevin St. Pierre has a player-option year left.

So how about tonight's game. Was there some hitting or what?

I asked Frenchy about playing every game and he said he wasn't tired at all. Last week was the first time all year he played four games in a row, but he loves to get the work so I wouldn't worry about wearing him out.

Hit, didn't you read that story last week about Guinn and his shoulder? Trying to throw would have been incredibly stupid for him. That's why the "fight" turned out the way it did.

You meet Murph, you understand a lot about Bob. You know last week when I said Hurdsy married way over his head? Bob married over the moon. And she has as much energy as he does!

Anybody else notice how well the defensemen in general have been playing of late? Holding teams to 20-25 shots every night is pretty good. PK is back together, too. I think, and I haven't looked at the stats today, but Neumie, Jordie, Guinn and Guy are all way up on the plus-minus charts the last month or so, and Lindsay is back to positive as well.

I read it Blake. I just thought the "fight" was funny. I had my binoculars on the play and could read Guinn's lips just as they started to get into it. He said, if I read lips good or not, "I don't want to fight!" I wasn't questioning him on that instance. Just thought it was funny that of all the guys the Pigs picked to fight with, they chose poorly.

On Frenchy, he is getting up there in his career. We are definitely a one goaltender team this year. There will be tons of second guessing going on when or if he goes down with a stupid injury because of fatigue and then we turn to a guy that has mold on him from sitting so long. That is the danger that we are running into. Guys will say they want to play every game because they get a bit greedy. The coach has to look at the situation real close and determine what the risk is. My opinion is, the risk is too high. Play Kurk some each of the final 3 weekends, just in case.

Don't you think Frenchy knows his own body better than anyone else? He says he wants the work, I give it to him, especially when the Komets still have the chance to move up. He's always stronger the more work he gets.
