Some lazy play

Justin A. Cohn | The Journal Gazette

The Komets trail the Cincinnati Cyclones 2-1 after two periods at Memorial Coliseum. The only goal of the second period came from Josh Shalla, who scored at the end of a 2-on-1 rush, on a rebound.

I've been noticing something disturbing, and that's that several of the Komets' star offensive players are barely hustling to get back on defense.

That's pretty lazy stuff and it's making Cincinnati look better than it is.

Charlie Effinger has stopped 27 of 29 shots for the Komets so far. He's looked very good, even though both goals have been off rebounds.
