Well it's that time of year. The second season starts tonight down in Fort Wayne. What's everyone's predictions on the series? I have the hawks in 7.

I think defense and goaltending are going to be the difference in this series. The forwards are even up, not having Lardner is going to hurt... but the Komets have a much stronger defense than us. They play a team defense system in their own end of the ice and rarely breakdown. We ,on the other hand ,with Lovell back there will cough up the puck much more than they do. Sterling has to be sharp every game for us to be in this thing, no ugly goals please. In the end I have the Komets winning it in 6 games and the teams shaking hands for the last time at McMorran.

The Komets have a grinding team that finish their checks and will put pressure on the Icehawk defence.The Icehawks routinely give up 40 shots a game so the Icehawk goaltending will hve to be very sharp.They have the playoff experience and team defence to make it work. The Icehawks have feasted on the lowertier clubs with little success against the teams above them.I see the Komets in 6 with Icehawk goaltending having to play superior to make it work at 6 or better.

1-0 FW after 1. Not to bad through all those penalties. Instead of getting pissy the hawks are just gonna have to make adjustments to the officiating and start getting some shots on Timmaaay Haun
