Comets focused on individual play, better starts

T few games.

Hear from the team about what their focus is who dropped two straight one-goal games - after a one-goal win last wednesday.

Over the past five games - the comets have been forced to play from behind after giving up the first goal.

In the last two - they've had multi-goal deficits that they've brought within one but it was too little too late.

According to head coach trent cull - goalie michael dipietro has been the comets best player over the past couple of weeks - keeping the team within striking distance after falling behind.

He made 22 saves against rochester on sunday and 39 two nights before in syracuse.

The team isn't panicking at this juncture.

They say the slow starts aren't lack of preparation - but rather execution.

For the comets - bailey has appeared in 45 games where is third on the team with 40 points - second with 24 goals this season.
