On the scoreboard

Justin A. Cohn | The Journal Gazette

KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- There's no doubt that the new scoreboard at Wings Stadium, which was unveiled tonight, is an improvement.

But this thing is so big and low to the ice, the puck is going to hit it way more often than a punt ever hit the board at Cowboys Stadium.

Plus, I'm almost positive this thing is crooked, but I would hope they will fix that.

The Komets had a goal taken away midway through the first when it was ruled that Josh Brittain interference with the goalie before Eric Giosa put the puck into the net. It was a bad call.

So it's scoreless in the first.
