Komets and Kalamazoo Nov 16-17

The IHL has the right idea with back to back or home-and-home series. This weekend proved to be for the Komets/Wings rivalry. Physical hockey, good crowds, and a little bit of bitterness at the end of it all. It looks like Bloomington/Flint is creating some ill will as well. If the league can get Port Huron to get some asses in the seats I believe the league can be very successful.

The physical play in the Komets/Wings series has been good. Kalamazoo has some great size and a couple of kids that like to fight. With Legault out and Henley still on the mend they looked to take advantage of the situation. Kevin Hansen has proved again that he is one tough dude. I think these kids from Kalamazoo may have a wake-up call in store for them when Mr. Henley hits the ice. He was seen watching the end of the game scrum very intently from the tunnel. Coach Curran may think twice about pulling the crap that he did last night with Brent in the lineup. I was surprised that we didn't see Kevin Bertam step up to fight anyone, but with Guy Dupuis out with an injury, Bertram doesn't need to be in the box. So far this season Bert has pulled more than his fair share of the weight in the toughness department. Boucher looked good in goal. We are lucky to have two top-notch goalies on our roster. Let's just hope that they both stay happy with their playing time.

Rumors are afloat that P.C. Drouin is headed to Fort Wayne. Which would lead one to believe that a vetran may be on his way out. I'd look for it to be Shafranov or Marchant.

Komet Bobblehead Giveaway

Source One Solutions is sponsoring a Komet Bobblehead giveaway again this year. You can vote here.... http://s1sonline.com/komets/

I will play the roll of Sean (P. Diddy) Combs and only encourage you to vote. After you vote it shows the results. At this point it looks like Colin Chaulk, Guy Dupuis, and Brent Henley are the early leaders. I'm not sure if it limits you to one vote based on your IP address or if you can vote as often as you like.

Just like political elections, you can't complain if you don't vote.
