It's a hot mess

The Komets have given up three power-play goals and trail the Florida Everblades 4-0 after two periods at Memorial Coliseum.

The fans are booing.

And the Fort Wayne power play is so awful right now, I have trouble even describing it. Scott Kishel just had two open guys at the point, but rather than drop a pass back for an open shot, he skates it into the corner, where there are two defenders to pin him against the boards, and he turns it over.

That's what it's been like tonight, in all phases of the game.
