Effinger in net

In the net tonight for the Komets is Charlie Effinger, even after Kenny Reiter looked so spectacular in the Komets' 2-1 loss to Toledo on Friday night.

By the way, I didn't know this till just now, but apparently I'm the only one of video of Daniel Maggio's cross-check to the face of Byron Froese on Friday: It's at about the 2:30 mark.

That was actually good news for Maggio. Had it been on the official game film, he probably would have gotten more than a one-game suspension.
