So OK, there were four fights in 11 years. I was wrong by two fights. Lots of pushing, shoving, roughing and unsportsmanlike penalties but not that many fights. Always the threat, but very few follow throughs.
That said, I have always respected Matt Krug as a guy who can skate a regular shift and even more as a person. He's first-class. He's also one of the most-disciplined players for a tough guy I've ever seen. He gets it.
As for the decision to release him, I am absolutely thrilled that I don't have to make those decisions. They are brutal, but folks, we're going to have the same thing every year in the ECHL. It absolutely sucks, but there's no other options as long as you are an affiliate and at the mercy of the AHL teams.
I think the Komets are going to have to let go of a couple of players today who have been here all or most of the year, because they won't have any choice.
