With the Comets 4-1 win in Grand Rapids last night, we are guaranteed another home game! You think Central New Yorkers had Comets Fever before, it's more true now!  If the Comets lose in Grand Rapids tonight, they will be back for Game 6 in Utica on Tuesday, June 2nd.  If the Comets win tonight, they've got a good shot at bring the Calder Cup Playoffs to The Aud.  Either way, people are so excited this morning.  What about the folks in Grand Rapids?  It looks like they were pinning a lot of hope on winning at home, and we beat them at their first chance on home ice.

It seems like it’s been forever since the Grand Rapids Griffins have played a game on the home ice at Van Andel Arena.

The truth is, it’s been twenty days, and the Griffins are hoping that playing in front of their fans will lead to a berth in the Calder Cup Finals (WFGR-Grand Rapids).

Are these Western Michiganders as into hockey as us?

Didn't we sellout all home playoff games in advance this season?  It seems pretty clear that Central New York has the most rabid hockey fans in the country!  Let's check out their home series promo:

Pretty exciting I guess. And their Coach is about to head to the NHL.  Here's recent interview with Red Wings Ken Holland regarding Grand Rapids Griffins Coach Jeff Blashill:

They should be pretty pumped. But I still think we WANT this even more.  After all, this is Utica - Home of the Comets!
