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.

Jungle Monkey...You ROCK!!! Nice Blog MAN!!!
I hope Marchant is cut loose. He sucks. He shows no hustle and lacks overall talent. He slows this very quick young group down. Shaf is slow, but at least he has talent, and he is Russian The Net!!! Marchant gets cut, goes to another IHL team, and what...sucks for them too? No loss there.
Keep the blog topics coming. We can spread the word.
Hit Somebody!!!
