Hodgman looks heroic, but Komets' lead is 2-1

Someone check if Robbie Laird, the former Komets coach and player, who is now the director of pro scouting for the Los Angeles Kings, is in the stands. If so, Justin Hodgman may be drafted by the Kings sometime soon.

Hodgman intercepted a pass, went end-to-end and lasered a shot past Larry Sterling for a 1-0 lead in Game 7 of the Turner Cup Finals. There's a great buzz in the building, but a nervous one because the Komets haven't put this one away yet.

Sterling has made some great saves ...

... Ooops, just as  I type that, Guy Dupuis puts one in during a power play, from 40 feet out. Sorry, no way the Icehawks come back from two down. I don't see it ...

... Oops, just as I type that, Jeff Zehr scores for the Icehawks off a rebound.

Lets Go Komets!!!!!!!!!

Just throw anything and everything at the net and they'll be just fine

Did they seriously just go to commercial on the radio!?

SOMEONE, PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME, WHY WE HAVE TO CUT TO COMMERCIAL IN OVERTIME.......TWICE!!!!!!!!

to make money!

I'm used to televised games, these commercials kill me

komets screwed in third period by no call on too many men with a minute and a half to go very obvious to all but those on the ice ph had five guys in the attack zone and one guy at the other end with larry no call then they pull larry and score and go to overtime had to leave at end of game work work work go komets alll i can say about the game was, in the third period we played not to lose instead of playing to win.. hope we pull this out in overtime. either way what a season!!!!!

Justin,

smack the PH radio guy, that guy needs some glasses!

Now they're whining about the net being dislodged..... No word on the two cheap shots they took on the Komets

I think if Port Huron wins, John Searle is your MVP

wildest game i can remember in a long long time....sure will feel good when we scate that cup around our ice.

CONGRATULATIONS KOMETS!!!!!!!!!

JOB WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!
