Tue, 29 Sep 2009 23:20:25 -0500

HUNTSVILLE, Ont. (Sep. 30) â€“ During a short period of time here in the Muskoka region of central Ontario, we have learned a bit more about the Toronto Maple Leafs. We know, for instance, that defenseman Michael Komisarek is nursing a hamstring pull that could threaten his status for Thursday nightâ€™s regular-season opener against the Montreal Canadiens. Weâ€™ve been told that rookie Viktor Stal...

Mike Augello: KADRI MAKING A CASE FOR STAYING, LEAF BUZZ TONIGHT AT 7:30

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:08:21 -0500

At the HSBC Arena last night, in a 3-2 loss to the division rival Buffalo Sabres, there were very few standout performances of players wearing the Blue and White. Goaltender Joey McDonald stood on his head early in the game, stopping 18 first period Buffalo shots. The veteran portion of the defensive corps, Tomas Kaberle, Michael Komisarek and Francois Beauchemin were not in the lineup, so 3 blue...

FREE HOCKEY ENDS BADLY

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 08:02:00 -0500

Notes on the Pens' 3-2 shootout loss at Toronto last night:

-No Sid, no Geno, no Fleury for the Pens. In fact, only five Stanley Cup winners were in the lineup for the champs.

-Regardless, there was 18,910 (100.6% capacity) on hand at the Air Canada Centre. And for what it's worth, this game outdrew the Blue Jays game being played simultaneously by roughly 7,000.

-Penguin goals came from Chris Conner and Ryan Bayda - both in the first period. Which means the Penguins blew a 2-0 lead.

-Brent Johnson stopped 14 of 15 for the Pens over the first two periods. In relief, John Curry was 16 of 17, but only 1 for 3 in the shootout.

-Shootout goals came from Nazeem Kadri and Lee Stempniak for Toronto. Kadri also scored the game-tying goal with 1:08 left in the third period.

-Pens are 1-2-1 in the preseason.

-Local product Christian Hanson had an assist for the Leafs.

-On the fight card: Jordan Staal vs Michael Komisarek...

...Paul Bissonnette vs Jay Rosehill...

...and Bissonnette vs Francois Beauchemin:

-Two preseason games left: Thursday at Columbus (7 PM) and Sunday against Detroit (5 PM).
-And finally, here's the Pens' new marketing campaign for 2009-10: "Defy Ordinary".

Howard Berger: Burke Must Trade Kaberle

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:34:17 -0500

LOS ANGELES (July 23) â€“ In his quest to improve the Maple Leafs, Brian Burke has acquired youth and experience over the past four months without yielding either prospects or key personnel. Through free agency, the draft, and one trade, Burke has ostensibly provided the Leafs an eight-for-one exchange: Christian Hanson, Tyler Bozak, Nazem Kadri, Colton Orr, Michael Komisarek, Garnet Exelby, Franc...

Komisarek and Lucic.

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 23:12:08 -0500

You would think after a while that Michael Komisarek would get tired of getting his ass kicked by Milan Lucic. Since Komisarek is done for the season I don't expect him to get a suspension for breaking a stick over Lucic's face.

Michael Komisarek vs Milan Lucic

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:05:57 -0500

I just got to watch this game between the Bruins and the Canadians (I was heading to the deer camp and didn't get to see it live) and if this game and fight doesn't fire Bruins fans up you have to be dead. Lucic is animal and he works former Michigan Star Michael Komisarek over. I guess next time Komisarek won't be so quick to challenged Lucic to a fight.

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 15:03:19 -0500
