Ben Smith has a story today on Komets rookie Stephon Thorne, which I think you'll enjoy.

Tonight, of course, the Komets play at Dayton. I'm not one to make a big deal out of the sixth game of the season, but, wow, this is a big game.

This team can't afford to have a third straight flat effort or, I think, it'll start questioning itself. Heading into back-to-back games at Rapid City, a tough place to play, that's the last thing the Komets would need.

And, do note, tonight's game does begin at 6:30 p.m. And the radio coverage will be on 1380 AM because of election coverage.
