Komoserk ready for the slapshot competition



Mike Komisarek will be making his All-Star debut tonight in Montreal.Komisarek is also going to have to get a harder shot then defending champ Zdeno Chara, and former teammate Sheldon Souray.Komoserk has been working hard all week practicing his Slapshot for the All-Star game hoping that he will win the Slapshot competition. “My strategy is to just shoot it low and hope I hit the net. It’s going to be a tough time if I miss the net out there,” joked Komisarek, whose last appearance in a hardest shot competition was at the 2003 AHL All-Star Game, where he recalls netting in a puck at around 96 mph.“I don’t think that’s going to win it here, though. You’ve got to at least break into triple digits to have any chance at all,” he admitted. Another former Canadiens blue liner Mark Streit will also be participating in the Slapshot competition,trying along with Mike Komiserk to be an underdog when it comes to predicting a winner.The skills competition will be tonight at 7Pm E.T on CBC.
