They sure picked a great night to do blog maintenance

Aaaarrrggggg!!!

What the heck, how much fun was that game to watch?

Here’s some quick notes. Al Sims said it’s very doubtful Kevin Bertram will play on Monday. Ken Dufresne got a couple of shifts in Game 6, but mostly Brandon Warner played some D. He also played forward. Guy Dupuis must have played 40 minutes in this game, on his 38th birthday by the way.

Port Huron folks were disgusted with the officiating. It was a brutal game, but I didn’t think either team had an advantage. Jeff Zehr’s penalty with four minutes left was about the dumbest thing I’ve seen all series.

Anyway, I’m still up writing. There will be two stories at www.news-sentinel.com in our Sunday on-line package by the morning. We’ll also have a two- or three-story package in Monday’s paper.

Hope everybody had a safe trip home.

Woods is coming back

According to Komets general manager David Franke, Derek Woods got a skate across his thigh and needed 14-15 stitches to close the wound, but he’s coming back out in the third period.

Celebration!

Bertram didn’t come out for the second period

And they just asked for the team doctor to report to the visitor’s locker room. We were told before the game that Kevin wasn’t going to play and then he started. He was obviously hurting a great deal.

Komets are getting every and I mean EVERY bounce so far, but it’s still 1-0 halfway through the second.

Check that, Bert is on the bench but has not been on the ice yet. Derek Woods is not on the bench.

Evgeny Saidachev would be eligible to come off IR and play Monday if there is a seventh game.

Here’s the goal by Reynolds

It’s 1-0 after the first and the Komets are playing great road hockey.

 

Tonight’s referee is… UPDATED

Ryan Carroll. I believe John Searle is the back-up. Boucher is starting in goal.

BTW, the game is already sold out.

Hukalo is out. Kent Dufresne wll dress in place of Hukalo.  Hukalo will serve as assistant coach tonight. Saidachev can’t play because he’s still on IR. Yes, the league is changing the rule next year.
