PORT HURON, Mich. -- It's been a long season and, yes, the Komets are a bit beat up. Forward David Hukalo, the International Hockey League's Best Defensive Forward, is out for the rest of the Turner Cup Finals with a back injury. Defenseman Kevin Bertram, I'm told, will dress but likely won't play at all because of a rib injury.
So, the Komets will insert defenseman Ken Dufresne, who has yet to play a game in the professional ranks.
It should be interesting.
By the way, the Komets, who trail the series 3-2, will go with goaltender Nick Boucher, as expected.

Wow...why not insert Saidachev? He has experience. If Bert is hurt, sit him. Now we are playing with 8 D-Men? Not sure if I understand that one. Pence or Warner as a forward doesn't thrill me. Anyone else have a thought?

how do the flags/bordercats/hawks have the #10 retired twice on their barn wall?

Yikes...This means more of some other defensemen who haven't played very well this past week especially.
Hey, I'm a fan from the 80s, thus my name, back in town after being gone for a few years. It's great fun to have my son, who've 5, at these games with me as I was 25 years ago.
Go Komets!
Grateful for B2...

Yeah, the overlapping years is the cool part. Weird part. I mean, cool part.

Looks like that spear that Bert took (which wasn't called)is probably the cause of the injury
LETS GO KOMETS
