If you’d like to order extra copies

The man to call is Kevin Lentz at 461-8375, or if he’s not there Pam Thornton at 461-8827. They can get you copies of Monday’s section and of tomorrow’s six-page commemorative. There will be 500 extra copies of Friday’s paper available in the Fort Wayne Newspapers lobby at 600 W. Main.

There’s some pretty amazing stuff in it. In fact, we had so much that we had to hold some of it back and it will run either Friday, Saturday or in the Sunday on-line section.

Here’s a couple of videos

The final video clip

And it’s a pretty good one. You can see it here. Thanks to Pat, Randi and Tim for all their great work all season.

Don’t forget you can watch the full replay at 7 p.m. today on Comcast 55 or Verizon 25. It’s also on at 11 a.m. on Thursday.

This from Pat: Turner Cup finals, game 7 will broadcast Saturday, May 17th at 9am on Comcast 57 and Verizon 27. That’s an extra showing.

You can see it here. Thanks to Chad, Brian and Michelle for all their amazing work.

Special deal at the party

The Komets are going sell vials of the melted ice from Game 7 at the party Wednesday night. People will also be able to get their pictures taken with the cup, and there are a few other surprises planned.

So who’s going to the party?

I’m betting Hodgman and Curadeau’s jerseys, and maybe Woods and Aquino go the highest.

Let’s stop this one right here

I already got a call this morning asking me this. Bob Chase is definitely coming back next year. Period.

Today’s package

First story.

Second story.

Third story

Fourth story from my boss.

Seriously, you might want to consider buying the paper today. It’s worth it just for all of the photos from Chad Ryan, Brian Tombaugh and Michelle Linn.

Looks like we’re also going to have a special commemorative section on Friday, so back to the grindstone. See everyone at the party Wednesday night.
