It looked like he got a knee to the head..when he tried to play the puck behind net...but nobody was in the area to keep the Kzoo player off him..You can call it an accident like the other night but second straight game our goalie is injured by a Kzoo player playing aggressively around the net is not an accident but a delibrate attempt to cause issues..

OK, so here's a discussion point: do you go after a Kalamazoo player and potentially risk an instigation penalty and a Wings power play in a 1-0 game? Or do you play it safe and go after them, if you are going to, another time? Do you risk losing the game for retaliation? What would you like to see?

I would rather them actually step up and beat someones face in to make an example of them. Stop running our goalie! I watched the Mic'd up episode last week after watching the video about the Komets and a standout clip from the video was when Rockford was complaining to the officials about Kalamazoo for running their goalie, even after Rockford already lost a goalie to the same team earlier in the season. Different coaches, same M.O.

Ok everyone, Strang is in, GAA is not good but save percentage was .912. Which means he is facing a lot of shots. Thoughts?

I thought he was the best goaltender in training camp, but he didn't have the same resume as the others.

Get up by 2 goals and then let kzoo know we will not let them run our goalie.

Unless we are up by 2 late in the third period I don't think you take a chance in giving K-zoo any reason to get fired up by going after a player. Besides, if the Komets do try then it will certainly be pegged as retaliation and expected possibly garnering more punishment from league officials if K-zoo tries to send the video in for review. I think you just make the statement somewhere early in the first period in tomorrow nights game.

Kazoo radio's Mike Modugno is saying Meisner was hit by teammate. Did anyone see what happened? I hope to be able to get a replay after the game.
Someone cross checked him in the back of the head.

That was blatant Miesner was on his knees and got sticked in the back of his head. That is a suspension and needs to be sent to the league.

With the video it was definitely a kzoo player.

pretty blatent! in the old days five guys would have jumped the zoo player but tonight pepin skated over to him and probably asked him if he was ok but not retaliating. tommorrow is another day and yes that video needs to go to the league office.

Yep. That was a cross check to the back of the head. They should send that clip to the league. A suspension should be the punishment. I can't believe the ref didn't call it. It was obvious from the clip.

I don't think there is any question about the who got Meisner after watching the video. Certainly wasn't one of our own. Will be interesting to see and hear the league interpretation of the incident. As clear as the video was, I am very surprised there wasn't more of an immediate reaction besides Southorn. Kind of reminds me of the Buffalo game where Miller was run and nothing done. Also suprised given the referees position on the delay of game call against Meisner. Maybe it is the less than stellar video quality or angle, but I didn't see him play the puck outside the trap. I think the puck hit him after he was cross checked down and laid there, but I didn't see him play it. Another former K doing damage. Argghh!

Agreed, Kevin. The ref was standing right there and seemed to be looking right at it. Wonder why he didn't call something. Strange.

I am SO angry right now. This is crap. Lots of class Kzoo winning both games on back up goal tenders because you knocked the number 1 goal tender out of the game. If I could get out there and kick someone's butt on that stupid team I would. Please Ks do something about this tomorrow.

Another character check......it's not like we really want to give Gary or David a day off from all the adversity that seems to come our way. Still believe in the team. Think we have steadily gotten better, maybe hit a few plateaus along the way, but I certainly think we continue to head in the right direction. I agree with other comments that we might need a more experienced goaltender to get us through the playoffs, but I think we will be there to make some noise. Keep working guys. Let's go Komets!
