We got a ton of power plays, so can't blame officiating, no one should go there. Bottom line is we didn't play until the buzzer. No defense in front of the net on Leo's goal. No excuse for that at any level of hockey. I think it was Cowan out of position; Tetrault was on the right wall, so Cowan should have been covering the front. We're sunk unless Larry can play game 7.

Give Street a start Game 7 if Larry can't play. might as well forfeit of Dorkorso plays. Not gonna blame him, he shouldn't be thrown into this situation right now with zero experience under his belt. All the blame goes on Drulia for signing him instead of getting someone with some kind of experience under them. When they lose on Monday Drulia should be fired right after for not being prepared if Larry was to go down with someone with experience. I'm not even talking a good goalie, just someone who has played at the pro level. Don't tell me we couldn't have found someone like a Brad Smith or anybody. I feel bad for Dorso what a rough way to start your career but hes bad. Larry has to play game 7 to even have a fighting chance. I honestly can't believe you would even disrespect D'Orso for tonights outcome. He played a very solid game and made many great saves to keep the game as tight as it was. Thomas got a luck goal at the end. In the beginning of the third, I know many of you saw the penalty that was missed, which in turn lead to a goal. The Ref of the year, really sucked in the end point of this game. Was he really going to make a call on anything this late in the period with a tied game?? Hahaha no way because he didn't want to be scrutinized like Langdon did. I will go on to say this, from the start of the game we looked like crap!! Bad passes, and no hustle at all, but after we tied it up, I saw a lot more intensity from the guys, yeah it flaked off a few times, but they for the most part held their own. I hope Sterling can play Monday too, but I don't discredit D'Orso at all because he played one hell of a game tonight. Also, how do you know there was anyone else to get besides him?? I actually heard of a number of people he tried to get, but it just wasn't happenin, and when you have very little time to find someone, you go with what you are presented with. I'm happy with D'Orso, and I hope he's back next season.

Also if Sterling isn't physically 100% he shouldn't play. There is no reason to risk injuring him further, which is why it was a good call for him to come out tonight. I give him credit for wanting to start. Also to xcheck, yeah we had a lot of powerplays, but there are those key moments where crap Ft. Wayne was doing, that should have been called, and it wasn't. How does Rodger only get a 2 minute roughing after close lining one of our guys?? That clearly should have been a Major or even a misconduct. That was totally uncalled for. Which goes to show how much Ft. Wayne gets away with in this league.

I can't remember the Icehawks players names, but in game 5, PC Drouin was being cross checked when he was on his knees by 2 players. The pentaly? Only one of the got a penalty, and it was only for 2 minutes. Officiating in the leauge is bad. I don't think they're biased, just bad all together. I have a lot for respect for Fort Wayne and Boucher. There's a reason he's been the best goalie since 07, he's that good. I've seen him play several times and I'm always impressed. And the Komets hardly get away with everything, considering they had 2 PP's as compared to 8 to PH. They also served the second most penalty in the IHL this last year. Getting cranked in the mask is a legitamte reason to take it off. I bet you wouldn't be upset if it was Larry who got hit and pulled his mask off.

You make some good points there bearsfootball-unbiased and realistic.Posts that blame the officiating for the loss are incredibaly lame-The Icehawks had their chances to put it away.

Getting cranked in the mask is a legitamte reason to take it off. I bet you wouldn't be upset if it was Larry who got hit and pulled his mask off. I've seen Larry take one in the mask and it didn't stop his play at all. So don't give me that. There was no excuse for him to take his helmet of like that. You can ask any one about his history of tricks to break up a play, whether it's kicking the net off or doing what he did last night, it's stupid and childish. During the finals the first year, Boucher or any Komet player would knock the net off, if things got to risky because that's how they play. I've seen it time and time again. I don't respect him at all. The only player on that team that would have my respect is Dupuis, because he typically will play a decent all around game and that's why he deserves to be the captain. Also I'm glad you have respect for a goalie that tells our fans to "suck it" and pretend to jerk himself off after the game last night. Another constant he's done plenty of times along the lines of Robin Bouchard. These our the best people in the league yet they act like little children. Why don't you move to Fort Wayne so you can fit in with the rest of their trash.

The one you speak of comes down to a judgment call by the Ref as it is during play. the close line that Rodger pulled happened after the whistle and was blatant and right in front of the ref and everyone in the arena, and he only got 2 minutes. I can't remember who it was, I think it was Patrosso that he close lined, but what if that had injured him?? He could have hit his head on the ice and had a concussion like Sterling then he would have been out. Maybe you think like the rest of Ft. Wayne that Larry is faking too? Are you telling me that it's ok because we allegedly cross checked Drouin during game 5??? Give me a break!!!

Larry was hurt bad, he's definatly not faking. I feel for the guy, he pours his heart out into hockey and may not get to play game 7.
Rodger's penalty was a good call. What I was saying is that refs have been inconsistant. If Rodger got the 5 minute major, then the cross checking penalty in game 5 should have been called more severly because I think they were on the same level in terms of cheap-ness.
I do live in Fort Wayne. I'm a Komets fan. I got on here hoping to have an intelligent discussion about the ups and downs of the game. That's what I've gotten from everybody, but you.

I can agree with you on the inconsistency of the officiating, but as I said, the cross checking and what Rodgers did last night are 2 different situations. They both may have been cheap, but the severity of a cross check is more of a judgment call on the ref. You can't compare that with a dude, going up to another guy and almost taking his head off. There is no justification in that at all. That's bascially saying that you can put your goalie of the year out there and saying he can take baseball swings at everyone with his stick cause he'll just get a 2 minute minor. I'm sorry but that's intent to injure, not a roughing.

Bears fottball from most on here you will get an intelligent discussion but from there you will get four posts in a row complaining about the officiating,biased sucking up to management rants that go on and on .Your point of view means little to the Computer whiz. Drulia hasn't built a playoff type team here meant to finish with too many holes on the Defence-We certainly lack a Chaulk leadership role here though Lardner's presence is missed.If the Icehawks go down again after leading 3-1- Drulia should be looking for a job.

You say I'm biased, Then I guess the entire Officiating Staff along with the Announcer and everyone else I've spoken with is biased. because we all agree on the same thing. You don't get the benefit to look at replay after replay. Frankly Stinger, you are the biased one. You never have anything to say unless it's negative and you never provide anything usefull except personal attacks on people because they don't share the same point of view. When we were 3 games up, where were you??? Nowhere to be found, but as soon as we give that 3 game lead up and people are steaming, you decide to come out of hiding and add your 2-bits worth of non hockey knowledge. If we had 8 pp's and we scored on 2 of them, that put us at 25% for pp scoring. you tell me how many teams in the NHL that are at 25% or above in PP scoring. If any team is over 25% they should be considered gods because you don't see many teams that are. The fact is, there were penalties that should have been called and weren't and it's been like this all season and I will humbly admit that there have been calls on us that should have been made that weren't. It just proves the inconsistency of the officials in this league, but mainly last night there were legit calls that were not made. It only takes one penalty or a missed penalty to change the momentum of a game. Bearsfan can compliment Boucher all he wants, it's known he's a Komets fan so of course he's going to praise his goalie. I will give Boucher credit too for when he isn't being a dirty player and is playing a good game, he can be top notch, but the fact of the matter is, when he gets in too deep and knows he's in trouble he is known for pulling crap to stop a play. If you haven't seen it then you are blind. A komet's fan most certainly won't see it because they aren't going to point out something that's been helping them out all season. Secondly your fans can be real A$$holes to ours. When we came to Fort Wayne for game 1, and your team beat us, your fans threw food and crap all over our people. Yet when you guys come here we treat you for the most part with respect other than the trash talk that comes with any competitive sports game. Secondly your ass hole owner also sets a great example for your team by rousing Sterling as he was hurt during Game 4 calling him a faker in front of the fans in our own arena. That just goes to show how much the team is a product of the owner. Also how much is he paying Hodgman to come back and play down from his current level just in time for playoffs?? Yeah I smell something fishy, just like what happened to the owners who ran the Trashers claiming they were under the cap, but also paying players under the table.

Seems like this computer junkie guy takes Icehawk hockey way too seriously. lol #1. Bouch DID get hit in the head with the puck. The ref would have stopped the play anyways. #2. Have you seen the difference in the penalties that have been called? How can you say Ft Wayne gets away with murder? Petrosso should have been suspended for last nights game due to the spear he put on P.C. Friday night. You really need to look at the facts before you post idiotic statements. #3. All teams have their bonehead fans. I know this is hard for me to tell you,but Port Huron has their crazy fans as well. You're right,Throwing food at the other teams fans is not right. It's not right as well when your fans intentionally spill beer on a teenager. It's also not kool to try to trip 2 komet female friends after the game because they are mad the their team lost. #4. You call Bouch. classless for trying to find ways to win a game? I wonder what you would call a goalie for trying to run down a few opposing teams fans after they got their arses handed to them that night? Don't you think you have something to tell Larry. Ok..I'm done....for now! BTW....I DO hope to see Larry play Monday night. I would rather the Komets beat the Icehawks at their best. Forgot..Let's get back to this Franke deal. IF he did what YOU say he did,That would not be nice. Like I posted earlier, Not all fans are as CLASSY as you,Computergeek. I'm ABSOLUTELY SURE the PH fans would not be so classy if Boucher went down. It's the nature of the beast,so to speak. Good luck Monday night in the jungle!

We got lucky with Hodgman. Remember Konstantine Shafronov? He went to play in the Hockey World Cup thingy for his home country, Kazakhstan, about a week before the season ended. He also announced that this last season would be his last in Fort Wayne, and he was going to retire and live in Kazakhstan. All season we've kept tabs on Hodgman because we've known ever since last summer that Shaffy was gonna leave. Hodgeman told us that anytime we needed him, just give him a call and he'll be in Fort Wayne within a day or 2. Shaffy retired, so we needed another player. Enter Hodgman. No foul play, he just kinda fell into our lap.
On a side note, the IHL commisioner talked on the radio in the Komets broadcast booth between the 2nd and 3rd periods yesterday. He was absolutly steamed. Flat out said that they need to get new refs, the refs we have right now are just plain bad, and this summer he will be looking into getting new, better refs. That should help everyone.
