Komisarek is a defensive defenseman so im no disappointed with his point prodcution. his stats, along with the rest of the leafs d-core's are scewed a bit by the first 10-15 games or so. back then, everyone was adjusting to their new roles on a vastly revamped d-core. it took some time and they have been steadily improving over the last 10 games.

if they had played .500 hockey in the the first 10 games they would be safely in a playoff spot right now. a number of the loses came in games where they outworked and outshot the other team. it could even be argued that they deserved to win that game against the canucks. what has helped has been improved goaltending - Toskala has looked pretty solid. the other big change was the arrival of Kessel. he has shut up the critics who said he was nothing without Savard and has elevated the play of his teammates.

as for the loser points - i hate them. Dan Russell is right in refering to the shootout as "the circus." its a gimmick and the novelty has worn off. keep overtime but could we please have ties back?
