So - back to hockey talk…..

 Latest rumor coming around the Eklunds Blogs….

Mike Komisarek to the Islanders.

A little homecoming, if you will.  Mike is from the Islips, but grew up a Habs fan.  How?  Well - a lot of kids were not Islanders fans in the 90’s — for reasons we will not bring up here….

However, the U of Michigan player was a first round pick of Montreal in the 2001 draft.  He is a big boy (6′ 4″ - approx 235 lbs).  Likes to hit and create havoc in the defensive zone.  A definite need that we could always take.  Brendan Witt is also of that type, but the other two lines that we would have, would be short of the target for a physical presence.

I know that he lost his mom recently to cancer, I believe, and he has a very strong family bond.  Maybe a change of scenery could be a good thing for him, especially when it would be a homecoming of sorts.

Tune into the blog for more info - as it comes…
