Hit Somebody!!!

The thing I noticed about Kiyaga is, he gets over-powered way to easy. That isn't a talent thing, that is a physical problem. He might be playing out of position. Why not try him as a forward? He just isn't strong enough to play D against the bigger lines in this league. Rockford ran right over him. Gabrielson should be in his place on Defense.

Vote for Fletch! Early and often!

I didn't notice the power thing as much. I saw him just make some bad passes in his own zone, resulting in turovers. One went straight for a goal.

Eddie Long is Mr. Komet. First Komet to have his jersey retired. He deserves to be on this list. Also, I agree w/ Justin, Len Thornson needs more votes. Why is Konstantin Shafranov on? I like him but he only played two full seasons w/ us.

Yeh, I really REALLY like the way Gabrielson plays. Not your prototype Euro player. He throws some massive checks,and I was at the game againts KZoo and he played man up againts Bootland. Needless too say at the end of the game Nick was getten very fustrated because where ever he went Gabbes was right there. The only thing hurting him is he's not a rookie. I think teaming him with Hansen would give us a very phsyical 2nd D pairing.

Problem with Lindsay was he just need time to get situated, Lindsay wasn't that much of a rookie, Kiyaga is still pretty wet behind the ears. I think his size will be a detrement as time goes on, but right now he just looks out matched.

i bet they said the same thing about colin chaulk and for that matter colin chin when they first started! chaulk, by the way is the leading scorer so far for his current team.

You could tell by the applause for the older veterans at opening night, the crowd as a whole had no clue about Fort Wayne Komet history.
