25 games to go....

We find ourselves speeding through another season of Komet Hockey. With 25 games remaining, the Komets are atop the IHL regular season standings. Riding an awesome home winning streak, its hard to find much to complain about. The Komets road record is the only real issue. As another fan pointed out to me. The K's are only walking away with wins 50% of the time on the road. (Taking away the shootouts and overtime nonsense that makes all the dashes in the record) 12 wins in 24 road games. Meanwhile, at home the K's are victorious 81% of the time. This trend could be the only thing that slows the Komets down come playoff time. Drop one to Flint at home and the playoffs take on a whole new look. The Komet/General series has been a giant brightspot to me in the new IHL. I thought the K-Wings may take on the same roughness, but Kalamazoo just doesn't seem to have it in them. The Praire Thunder can be chippy at times, but with all of their talent leaving them high and dry for Europe, they don't have much to look forward to besides next season. Muskegon could be a playoff dark horse, you can never count the Fury out. I just believe they need more effort out of veteran players if they want to make a serious run. So in the spirit of lazy blogging..... It's time for the JungleMonkey 2/3 point player grades.....
