HI EVERYBODY, WELL THE KOMETS HITTING THE ICE TODAY FOR A LITTLE PRACTICE AS THEY GET SET TO TRAVEL TO SOUTH DAKOTA TO TAKE ON THE RAPID CITY RUSH IN OPENING ROUND ACTION OF THE CHL PLAYOFFS.
NOW EVEN THOUGH THE KOMETS HAVE HOME ICE AFTER WINNING THE TURNER CONFERENCE, THE K'S START THIS SERIES ON THE ROAD BECAUSE DISNEY ON ICE IS AT THE COLISEUM THIS WEEKEND, WHAT CAN YOU DO YOU DON'T MESS WITH MICKEY MOUSE. AND I DIGRESS, BUT A LONG ROAD TRIP REALLY SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM FOR THE K'S ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THEY'VE WON 21 GAMES AWAY FROM THE COLISIEUM THIS YEAR. AND AS FAR AS RAPID CITY GOES THE K'S HAVE REALLY HAD THEIR NUMBER TAKING FOUR OUT OF FIVE FROM THE RUSH THIS SEASON. BUT THESE TWO HAVEN'T MET SINCE DECEMBER AND THE KOMETS ADMIT THESE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT TEAMS SINCE THEY LAST MET WAY BACK ON DECEMBER THIRD.
NOW THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER VERY INTERESTING DYNAMIC TO THIS WHOLE KOMETS-RAPID CITY SERIES. FIRST OFF RAPID CITY BOOTED THE KOMETS FROM THE POSTSEASON LAST YEAR. BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO K'S NEW CENTER MIKE VASK-I-VO WHO PLAYED MOST OF THE SEASON WITH RAPID CITY.
VASK-I-VO WAS RELEASED BY THE RUSH ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO AFTER PLAYING IN 54 GAMES AND RACKING UP 37 POINTS FOR RAPID CITY. HE THEN SIGNED WITH THE KOMETS AND PLAYED LIKE A MAN POSSESSED PLAYING IN SEVEN GAMES NOTCHING NINE POINTS ALONG THE WAY. VASK-I-VO SAYS ITS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BITTER SWEET PLAYING AGAINST HIS OLD TEAMMATES, WHILE THE KOMETS HAVE BEEN PICKING HIS BRAIN LOOKING FOR A LITTLE EXTRA EDGE AS THEY GET SET TO TAKE ON THE RUSH.
