FLINT, Mich. -- Late in the second period, the Komets trail the Flint Generals 4-0.
The real excitement in this period came when John DiPace sent Fort Wayne's Brent Henley into the boards. Henley responded by cross-checking him from behind, into the ice, then sucker-punching him. Later, after DiPace said something to him, Henley threw more punches. Amazingly, Henley got two minor penalties for roughing -- about one misconduct and one minor less than he deserved -- and DiPace got a minor for boarding. I don't mean to discount the boarding, but Henley really got away with some stuff there.
On the ensuing power play, Jason Cirone scored.

He hasn't done much, really. OK penalty killing. I'm pretty sure I've seen at least one scout here tonight.

I haven't heard McCarty's name called yet and I'm watching it....
I thought Henley was going to get thrown out.

No kidding Justin, I blew that one.
It was a good game to watch regardless of the outcome and congrats to the Gens.
Definitely worth my 6 bucks for B2....next time Cohny, I want the gopher job. I'd rather spend the money on a beer at Perani.
