The Official Komarov Appreciation Thread

Re: The Official Komorov Appreciation Thread

You could start by spelling his name correctly. I'm sure he'd appreciate that.

Re: The Official Komorov Appreciation Thread

Haven't had a guy like him since Tucker.

Worth every penny. Terrific signing. A lot here didn't want him signed.
 
funny thing is we all loved him his first year, when he never once showed any of the skill he's shown this year. (and first year Komarov was definitely not worth this contract).

now that he's handling the puck and making plays, he might be a really special player.

Gotta disagree here. Some of us saw the skill. I thought he was extremely snake bit his first year and consistently had or created chances. The main thing with Komarov is that he's smart. Always in good position, always making smart plays with the puck on his stick. He passed the visual test that first year. Combine that with his excellent production in the KHL, and his bump up in scoring this year doesn't surprise all that much. Although I don't necessarily expect 50 points like he is on pace for, 40+ is definitely doable and fantastic considering the other skills.
 
I recall some debating with zeke about him being more than a fourth liner. Isn't that about where you penciled him in again at the start of this season, zeke?
 
I forget who it was with, but I remember making a bet with someone on Leo getting more than X amount of points this season.

Looking good so far.
 
I've always maintained that Komarov had the skill to be a competent NHLer with some scoring ability. He had 9 points in a 48 game season playing in his first year on North American ice, I think he knew what to expect this year.

Yeah, that's something that I think was overlooked with his scoring output during his rookie season....it was his rookie season. Complicating matters is the fact that he's not the type of guy who is going to collect points purely on his skill level. He's gotta be in the right place, right time, but he clearly has the IQ for it.
 
I've memtioned this last night, but the leafs need to make him captain instead of Dion. Guys look up to #47, they feed off his enthusiasm, he does it all out there and take last night for example comes up with a clutch goal to win the game, this guy is the true leader of this team.
 
Here we go again, Toronto fans putting a marginal player on their favorites list, making him look like a 1st overall pick and wanting him to be the face of the team. It's the same thing across all our sports teams. We love our Johnny Mac while other teams get to watch a Trout and Kershaw.

I love having Komarov on the team and love watching him; but I love watching better players more. We should have an appreciation thread for Kessel and demand management to bring more top line players.

As fans we absolutely have to move on from the mindset that promotes mediocrity. Making the playoffs is not good enough. Komarov is not good enough. Etc.
