MUSKEGON, Mich. -- Greetings from L.C. Walker Arena, where it seems the Komets are straying from their much successful goaltender rotation to ride the hot hand in Game 4 of their semifinals series against the Muskegon Fury. In other words, Kevin Reiter is expected to start tonight. He is 2-0 with a 1.33 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage. Nick Boucher, who is 0-1, has a 4.07 GAA and a .778 save percentage.
So far, this place is empty. Speaking of empty, check out this picture from Flint, Mich., the other night.
- Because Fort Wayne center Colin Chaulk was suspended by the league one game for leaving the bench during an altercation Sunday, the Komets have to play one man short of a full 19-player lineup tonight.

I really hate the lighting here. It is so low and point in your face. Sorry so offtopic

Did Boucher & Bertram ever resolve their issues?

I called Conley. Everything is okay with the travelers. By that I mean Conley is extremely focused on hockey. Stay in touch with us JR.

Is anyone else b2'n???

Read today the Louisville maybe fielding a team in the ECHL. With the clubs not drawing enough fans how can anyone think it is smart to continue fielding a team that will loose money. I don't care how strong an ownership group is if they are going to loose money why field a team...The K's had better have a back up plan in their future otherwise if this league fails and the K's are so tied to it then hockey in the Fort maybe doomed.

Wow. What a minute of a hockey game.
Posted by: Jerad Shaw | April 23, 2008 at 08:00 PM
Now that was a sweet looking Komets Goal
Posted by: No Pucking Frisoners | April 23, 2008 at 08:04 PM
another K's goal, geesh, this reminds me of the Rockford-KZoo playoff game I went to a couple years ago when no one played a lick of defense.
Posted by: Iceman2415 | April 23, 2008 at 08:04 PM
So far it looks like the penalties are pretty much right on........at least that is what appears on b2n
Posted by: No Pucking Frisoners | April 23, 2008 at 08:12 PM
That's also from us Komet fans, you know the Fury fans will be b!!!!!!g all game long!
Keep it up Komets!
(I'm also B2ing it. Three and a half watching on one bed!!!)
Posted by: Hoss | April 23, 2008 at 08:21 PM

I hope the 2nd and 3rd period are a bit more quiet...
Go Komets!!!

Wait who scored the first K's goal, Chaser said Warner but pointstreak says Durdin.
Posted by: Ryne Gurney | April 23, 2008 at 08:26 PM
durdin did...I saw it
Posted by: janice | April 23, 2008 at 08:29 PM
Ah, darn, I mean I'm glad we scored but I wanted brandon to get one, oh well hopefully h will get one at home in front of warners corner.
Posted by: Ryne Gurney | April 23, 2008 at 08:33 PM
well they both teams are scoring...he might get a goal or two....
Posted by: janice | April 23, 2008 at 08:34 PM
we ran reitmuth(sp) from net again...lets keep it going boys!!!
Posted by: janice | April 23, 2008 at 08:43 PM
that's a bad 1-2 punch, first a goal for Musky and now Curadeau gets tossed, not good!
Posted by: Iceman2415 | April 23, 2008 at 08:44 PM
got to keep our cool boys...
Posted by: janice | April 23, 2008 at 08:48 PM
beautiful on Riedel's part, you have a 5 minute power-play and then you take a double-minor penalty. Huge break for the K's!
Posted by: Iceman2415 | April 23, 2008 at 08:49 PM
Should that really have been a penalty on Van Drunen?
Posted by: No Pucking Frisoners | April 23, 2008 at 08:54 PM
ok guys,,,we cant afford to have any more guys out
Posted by: janice | April 23, 2008 at 09:01 PM
anyone else question the goalie choice tonight?
Posted by: janice | April 23, 2008 at 09:07 PM
Yep I wondered about it once I saw Justin say Reiter was getting the start.
Posted by: No Pucking Frisoners | April 23, 2008 at 09:11 PM
I'm still questioning the series format!
Posted by: Iceman2415 | April 23, 2008 at 09:12 PM
yeah me too
Posted by: janice | April 23, 2008 at 09:14 PM
I wish I had brought my camera tonight. It's even worse.
Posted by: Brendan Savage | April 23, 2008 at 09:21 PM
Is Pickard talking to Chase? I swore that I heard him say that "if I was a betting man, I would say that Chicago will be back in the league next season." Wow!
Posted by: Iceman2415 | April 23, 2008 at 09:35 PM
nevermind, it was David Franke talking to Chase
Posted by: Iceman2415 | April 23, 2008 at 09:38 PM
I take back what I said earlier about the Ref Being decent. That was short lived!
