Komets fans picked the best

Super Bowl hangover?
February 8th, 2010And I’m not talking about foo-foo drinks, either. Everybody seems like they are a little groggy today from celebrating a little hard yesterday. Anybody else noticing this?
Book winner
February 7th, 2010Dang it, I should have stuck with my original pick because Dwight Freeney was no factor after the first quarter, and Peyton really tightened up. He was short-arming the throws and throwing off his back foot.
Anyway, there were too many Colts’ homers in our contest, but Krackers463 came the closest with the score, predicting Saints 28-21, so they will get a copy of the book in two weeks or so. ColtsWin actually had the score right, but the wrong team winning.
Komets lose to Mallards
February 7th, 2010One night after scoring nine goals at home, the Fort Wayne Komets couldn’t find the net on the road despite 39 shots. The Komets lost to Quad City 3-1 before 4,544 fans in Moline, Ill. The Komets have lost three of their last four road games and are 3-4 over their last seven games after a six-game winning streak.
Quad City scored first, 30 seconds after the opening face-off, as Chris Lipsett beat Tim Haun. The Komets tied the score halfway through the period on P.C. Drouin’s 15th goal of the season, but that was the last time Fort Wayne was able to beat Quad City goaltender Kyle Jones. After a scoreless second period, Quad City took the lead with 6:35 remaining in the third period when Justin White scored. The Mallards’ Mike Zbriger added an insurance goal in the final seconds into an open net.
The Komets out-shot the Mallards in every period and 39-21 for the game. Referee Brett Coulombe called only three minor penalties in the entire game. The Komets were unproductive in their two power-play chances.
This was Fort Wayne’s first loss in four trips to Quad City this season. The Komets are 7-1-1 overall against Quad City this season.

I’ll start: Colts 31, Saints 27
Here’s the teaser on the book:
What if you never recognized the biggest moment in your life?
When a lake effect snowstorm forces a close-knit group of college students to spend a night in a dorm lounge, one friend shares a theory – everyone has a distinct moment in their life that transforms them into adults. The youthful idealists dismiss the concept, but 15 years later the memory challenges one to travel across the country, renew relationships and test the premise. His encounters may shock, enlighten and cause you to ask “What was my moment?’’
