Our pal Justin from the Journal Gazette is going to undergo some pretty extensive surgery on Monday and will be on the bench for a few weeks. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers over the coming weeks. If you are not the religious type, maybe email him with some suggestions of movies he should watch while recuperating.
Komets coach Al Sims was much happier with his team's pefromance Saturday night after the Komets beat Dayton 3-2 on the road.
``We played really well defensively,'' Sims said. ``Timmy (Haun) was good on the few chances we did give up, and all the veterans really came to play tonight. We played really well. I don't think they got in our end once over the last minute and a half.''
The USA-Canada game on Sunday night is going to be on MSNBC, not NBC.
Give Port Huron credit. The IceHawks came in and played a perfect road game tonight. They let the Komets beat themselves by basically out-smarting them. Once again, Komets were not ready to play early and it cost them badly. Then they kept making very, very bad mistakes by taking penalties, pinching in when they shouldn't have. They didn't get a power-play chance until late in the second period because basically they didn't work hard enough to earn one. It's as simple as that.
How many oxymorons can you come up with? According to Dictionary.com, an oxymoron is ``A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in `a deafening silence,' and `a mournful optimist.' ''
Some examples: Military Intelligence, Jumbo Shrimp, Happily Married, Hospital Food, Microsoft Works, Giant Midgets, Government Help, Airline Service.

Or should that be book signing/release party?
Anyway, my next book, ``The Lake Effect'' will be available for purchase online Saturday, and we're having a signing party at Hall's Triangle Park from 3-5 p.m., Sunday. If you can't make it, the book can be ordered at booksbybauer.com starting Saturday. (We're having a big story announcing the book in Saturday's News-Sentinel.) It will cost $15, and I'll be happy to sign almost any time.
