KOMISAREK IS KOMIS-A-WRECK:
Through six games, high-priced newcomer (five years at $4.5 million per season) Mike Komisarek has ZERO points for the Leafs, who are winless in those six games. Maybe that’s because he’s already spent 23 minutes in the penalty box!When he’s on the ice, Komisarek has a minus-4 rating, and even put a puck in his own net. This is not what the Leafs had in mind when they named him alternate captain.
BYE-BYE TO BRENDAN:
It sure looked as if Brendan Shanahan was guaranteed a slot on the Devils. He was in good shape, and had a good camp. Then – POOF! Just like that – he was unloaded. Now, it looks like his NHL playing career is over.It wouldn’t surprise me if he winds up working for Gary Bettman.

The early surprises are that Tavares shadows over Evander Kane but Kane is the real deal. Then again…that should surprise no one. No offense to the rest of the league but the Thrashers have bulked up on talent and flown under the radar. I still have no clue how Rich Peverley was a waiver pickup, given the fact that his nhl production on two supposedly sub-par teams is at near a point a game clip; and he doesn’t even play on the top line. Still…I’m not a Thrashers fan but what they’re doing on the ice is like the hockey equivalent of ballet.

God, Fischler is such a washed-up idiot.
EVERYONE knows the Leafs brought in Komisarek for reasons other than scoring (because Komisarek does not score, and never has). His -4 is disconcerting, but then again he’s on the Leafs… -4 is like a birthright there.
