Absolute thriller at Coliseum

The Komets' 4-3 victory over the Evansville IceMen had a little bit of everything -- fights, some of the best goaltending you will find on the internet and, well, drama. Video by, Justin A. Cohn.

K's win, video has it all

The Komets' 4-3 victory over the Evansville IceMen on Saturday night at Memorial Coliseum was certainly one that tested their mettle. This video has all the fights, some of the controversy and a spectacular goaltending performance by Evansville's Paul Karpowich that you should appreciate.

I have no update right now on Chris Auger. I heard he is getting an MRI on Sunday or Monday. I would expect he'll be out for the games next weekend, though.
