Does the 2, 5, 10, and game combo get him suspended?   Surely not.   A little harse on the call, but ya gotta stand up for any goalie who plays like Huet has.

Hey guys and gals, I was not able to watch the game last night due to unexpected circumstances.  I saw many highlights but didn't hear much about the thousands of penalty minutes Komy racked up...what happened?  Sounds like somebody was running Huet and Komi said "nuh uh"....can somebody fill me in please????   

i agree with you Key lime. Komi has turned his game around tremendously.

Don't the Avs have a message board? Come on, now. We don't all have to like the same guys. I agree with Key Lime, though. Komisarek did "the right" thing and he can't help if the other guy turtles up. Most times when someone jumps you, you drop 'em. And defenders are there to defend, not score. It's nice that they do sometimes, but that isnt the priority. Some Hab fans have a new favourite player today, I tell ya. But Hab haters have a new enemy. Do you think they hate Kovy or Komi more now?

Actually how can Komi get an instigator penalty when there was no fight?

I was proud of the message Komi was trying to send.  Don't touch Huet.

I agree 100%. Same as Kovalev did against Tucker. AT LAST THIS TEAM IS STICKING UP FOR EACH OTHER AND THEMSELVES AND SHOWING THAT THEY ACTUALLY CARE!!!!!!!

 So what if it had cost them a goal? The message sent would have been well worth it heading into the playoffs. As for the guy being an idiot..puhleeease. Goddard was the idiot for turtling. Goddard is supposedly a "tough guy" (hahahahahahahahahaha) who did a cowardly thing and dumped the guy who is the reason we are here. That cannot be allowed to happen. Perhaps Mike could have gone and talked to Goddard?

Komisarek: "Now Eric, you know that what you did not my buddy Crystal Ball was not nice. I really wish you would refrain from making contact with him in the future, if that's ok with you"

Goddard: "Oh I am so sorry Michael. In my haste to get to the puck I did not realize that I made contact with your goalkeeper. In the future I will refrain from being in the vicinity of him while he is attempting to play the game"

Komisarek: "Oh well that is ok my friend. I now realize that it was totally unintentional on your part and that your forward momentum inadvertently took you into him. Perhaps we could go to the Opera when I am home this summer"?

Can somebody PLEASE fill me in?  I can't find anything on the 'net either - did Godard "make contact" or "run" Huet?  I understand he turtled, but why did Komi end up with bazillions of penalty minutes?  Is Godard hurt?  Did Komi kill him???  What??????

Huet went behind the net to play the puck. As he was returning to his crease, Goddard skated behind the net and clipped Huet with his stick causing Huet to lose his balance. Huet didn't fall, but there was definitely contact.

Komisarek caught up to Goddard around the Habs' blue line, dropped his gloves, and started throwing 'em at Goddard. Goddard never dropped his gloves, turtled like a school child, and continued to get fed by Komi.

Komi received a 5 min major and a 10 min game misconduct.

To answer your questions: unclear whether the contact was intentional; many penalty minutes because the hit on Huet was not called and Goddard did not want to fight; Goddard was not hurt; Komi did not kill him.

...and 2 for the instigator.   If you've ever laced em up beyond peewees, you know nobody touches yer goalie- especially a six shutouts in 17 games goalie.   Call it whatever you want, but when a team stands up for each other with ten games left in the season it is a good thing.  

There's my boy! I am no fan of excessive violence, but one thing I can't deal with is goalie interference! I used to play goal before someone crashed my crease and turned my kneee backwards and I have been calling for far stricter rules against goalie intereference since. But because the NHL does not protect goalies, we need guys like Komi to step in.
It's been no secret that Komi has been one of my fav players since he was in the minors and he has cemented his place even more after this game. I bet you Huet will be taking him out for dinner sooner than later!

Habtastic

I don't really understand where you're coming from Habs and Avs.  Although I didn't see the game, sounds an awful lot to me like Komi won't be buying drinks any time soon while dining with Les Boys.  Here's the message - TOUCH MY GOALIE AND ANSWER FOR IT.

What's wrong with that??

Huet can play with confidence, knowing if somebody takes a run at him it will NOT go unanswered - and so does the rest of the team. 

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!

Awesome post indeed.

Bottom line the habs are a better team with KOMOCOP they don't need everyone to be goal scorers, considering we already have Souray, Markov, Rivet and yes even Dandeneault making contributions from the back end.

Komisarek is Quintalesque...and that is something this less than physical habs need.

KOMOCOP all the way!

If somebody says that Komi is idiot or something else, because he defended our goalie so I say that this person is having somekind of brain cramp. That is one of his jobs, and if this goon (what Goddard is or supposedly is) turtled it´s his fault not Komis. If you are dump enough to rough up a goalie so you should know that these actions usually have consequenses(not always what comes to Habs goalies).

I saw one game against philly earlier this season and Brashear crashed straight to Theo and our guys did what? Absolutely nothing I screamed my lungs off to TV, WHAT THE H#LL ARE GUYS DOING THERE! Only effect was that I saw my wife standing next to me and looking furiously at me, because I woke her up with my screaming.

WELL DONE KOMI

What's wrong with that aren't the habs fighting for a playoff spot ???? How does frickin 5 goddamn minutes in the box help out the habs ??? You how pissed Gainey was ? Come on guys Komi can't even hit the net with his crap shot, damn he is GARBAGE. I think he's a career AHL player. He's out of position too most of the time...... Ok GUYS JUST WATCH HIS NEXT COUPLE OF GAMES watch him play you'll see how much he's really worth. And I truely don't see him as the 7th overall pick in the 2001 draft, imagine who we could have had, ok if you guys don't know we could have had instead of big Komi the troll looking dude, Tuomo Ruutu, Ales Hemsky, Dan Hamhuis, Chuck Kobasew, R.J Umberger and Marcel Goc

This is ridiculous, people getting on Komi for standing up for his goalie? Seriously, get a clue.

For the past 10 years we have been getting pushed around, slapped in the corners and losing fights left right and center. Now the boys start standing up for eachother and we criticize? That is unacceptable.

It is true that the Komi penalty was at the wrong time considering we were up 1-0 at the time and in a tight a playoff race, but consider the following:

(1) 27 minutes of penalties was ridiculous, as always Fraser has it out for the habs.

(2) Goddard is a HEAVYWEIGHT, he can't skate, has no hands and fights for a living. If he is gonna take the goalie out, as harmless as it was, and then turtle, he is a PUNK. I am serious about this, it is time for the referees to implement the unwritten rules of hockey again, you run a goalie, you cause a fight, everyone gets offsetting penalties, end of story. 4

(3) Did anyone see Huet get runned again in that game? I think not.

GO HABS GO!!!

Komi's garbage ..... He should be suspended for just jumping a guy and the guy not even accepting the fight...... I don't even see Komi as a prospect, come on 1 goal in what now 130gp ???? I'd rather see Simpson in there. On that shift I think there was some tough guys out there why did Komi have to do that ??? That's not his place, he's a big idiot, imagine if the Isles would have scored twice on that ....... A 5 minute pp is a long time.-- Edited by Habs and Avs Fan at 12:35, 2006-03-29

Exactly Plouf, you need at least 3 stay at home defensemen for a team to be complete. Give Komisarek time to develop, playing D is way tougher than playing a forward position not center, not everyone is Dion Phaneuf, but Komi is playing great and he leaves it out all on the ice every night. Besides, look how long it took Rivet to develop? If we lost him right now we wouldn't be able to replace him very easily.

GO HABS GO!!!
