Let the Turner Cup Finals begin! As I predicted, Nick Boucher will be in net for the Komets tonight. And the referee will be John Searle.
Lots of people in the press box. I haven't seen it this full in years. Commissioner Paul Pickard, vice-president Brad Jones and referee Bob Langdon, who is the backup referee in case something happens to Searle, are i nthe box. So is former Komets coach/player Robbie Laird, director of pro scouting with the Los Angeles Kings.
In case you missed it, here's today's story on Matt Reynolds, the Iron Chef of Fort Wayne hockey.
And, a bit belated, here's Ben Smith's story on the 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 format.
- Tonight's game will be replayed Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 8 a.m. on Comcast 55 and Verizon 25.
- On Sunday, there will be a presentation made to B.J. Lomow and his family in the amount of $6,500, raised in the charity game between the Fire Department and ex-Komets.

I had to work late, and I have to be in at 4:30 tomorrow. We are @ 66 hours Min. a week right now. I've worked 2 14's just so I can go tomorrow and Sunday. I hate it, but I have never been to Port Huron and I wanted to get up that way tomorrow!!! Believe me, Wish I was there.

They way we are playing so far, I'm glad I didn't spend the 900 bucks in gas to get up that way!!! JP. Our PP looks out of sync big time.

I knew going in that special teams would play a huge role in this series (which is the case in 95% of all hockey series) and Port Huron is proving that. Woe is he (or she) that predicted a series sweep, at least I picked the K's in 5 :).

Komets PP was extremely sloppy. Almost like the Cubbies tonight. Horrible night so far!! At least we marked in the period.

well, when Rich Hill walks 4 in less than an inning, you know it isn't your day.

He-he. Thanks for the "Wayne's World" quote. I'm wearing the biggest smile I've had all day. :D
