KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Late in the first period of an intense game, the Komets and Kalamazoo Wings are tied at 2.
The Wings got goals from Travis Granbois, on a redirection, and Nick Bootland, during a 5-on-3 power play with an open shot from the slot. Fort Wayne's goals came from Luciano Aquino, with a knuckling shot from 15 feet out, and Mathieu Curadeau on a penalty shot.
The penalty shot was well deserved -- although, it took referee Dean Sanborn what seemed like an eternity to call it -- after he was hauled down by Glenn Detulleo. Ironically, the Komets were short-handed at the time because Detulleo was high-sticked by Colin Chaulk.
Komets goalie Nick Boucher looks a bit shaky to me, but he's also not getting any help from his defensemen. And I hate to say it, but the Komets have to whine to the referees more than any team in the league. Seriously, during every stoppage they do it.
If you have any questions during the game, put them in the comments section.

Hey JC
You wrote the Komets but you have to mean the K-wings whine at every stopage, right?

last time the Wings were at MC, baby Campbell and baby Karlander cried at almost every stoppage and I mean every stoppage. It was getting a little much. Should have been tagged with a 2 min. delay of game if you ask me.

Well, they both whine. But I see the Komets almost every game and they never stop. Watch Kevin Hansen, for example.

The AMP energy drink is.

Gotcha! We do have our share of "complainers" but whining as you skate off or line up for a face off is kinda what I think our guys do. Campbell and Karlander had to have a frickin' meeting with the officials at every stoppage last game at MC. That's what pisses me off about them

JC-
Your right im watching on B2 and Boucher does look shaky....
Posted by: Mark | February 02, 2008 at 08:48 PM
He's starting to look better; he was just looking behind him a lot.
Posted by: Justin Cohn | February 02, 2008 at 08:53 PM
Yep, that period looked much better...I think that first goal rattled him a little bit...

B2 isn't real clear so I can't tell very good, but has Mitch been on the ice much tonight? I haven't seen him much. If not, what the heck?

Hansen is a whiner...

Hansen probably learned his whining abilities with last years team. Ruid and Richardson have to be in the Hall of Fame for whiners.

Hansen not only whines, but he is very UNWILLING to jump in for his teammates. I'm not a Hansen fan nor a Durdin fan, but I sure am enjoying the rest of the team at the moment.
