Professor Plum, in the Coliseum, with a laptop

One of the best tweets of the season was when I was asked if I raided Professor Plum's closet after I appeared on Indiana's NewsCenter's "Sound Off" on Thursday, before the Komets defeated the Wichita Thunder 7-3 to take a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Presidents' Cup finals.

Click here to see that appearance, which includes, infinitely more importantly, Lincoln Kaleigh Schrock's mother and Nick Boucher's father.

What a great idea that was to have them on the show.

In other news, again, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, I would like your input on who the Komets' Playoff MVP has been. As I wrote earlier, I think it's either Jean-Michel Rizk or Colin Chaulk, and, frankly, I lean toward Rizk.
