The Komets have re-signed defenseman Ryan Jorde, who played 60 games with the team last season and scored three goals and nine points in 60 games. He began this season with Victoria of the ECHL, tallying five assists in 23 games.
He could be in the lineup Wednesday, when the Komets play at Rockford, Ill. When Jorde is activated, the Komets will have to trim one player from their roster. That puts Jani Honkanen, Arthur Kiyaga, A.J. Bozoian and Mike Dombkiewicz on the hot seats. Bear in mind, Bozoian and Kiyaga are rookies, so their presence gives the Komets more flexibility in the lineup since the must play four rookies every game.
As for today's game, the Komets trail the Flint Generals 3-2 after one period of play. Per their recent custom, the Komets coughed up a lead; they were ahead 2-0 after 12 minutes of play.

Might be a hard call for Coach on who to cut loose. I'd pick Honkanen or Arthur. Of the two I'd pick Arthur. I think Bruce will come back stronger. Arthur is not as productive as I had hoped he would be. Great skater but this is not the Ice Capades. Go Komets!!!

would love to see it be domber...man he is terrible, he should stay on the bench, he is safer there and is not likely to make the mistakes that he did last night and every other night!

Amen. I am glad someone else sees how Domber's been playing. After the slip in Rockford last year in the playoffs that led to Rockfords game tying goal in the deciding game he hasn't been the same. He has a few spots of "brilliance" but more often then not he scares me on the ice. I think Honkanen is getting better...at least when he is on the ice I don't notice him for his "Oh, no! Not again's". IF Domber stays I hope he starts to play like he did earlier last season during the playoffs.

I saw Domb clean up at least two other people's mistakes last night. You guys need to stop bashin him because of the playoffs last year, That is over. You also need to face the reality that last years team was never gonna make it past the 2nd round even if they did make it past the piggys. If memory serves me correctly Domb and Miller were the only two that came out of the playoffs with a Plus +/- rating. If you notice he constantly listens to whatever is being said by coach is almost 95% of the time the 2nd man on the ice behind the goalie and usually one of the last to leave. I have also seen him stand up for this team more in the last couple weeks than anyone else, he may not fight very often but he does police the ice, and we need more of that not less.
