when people say that the difference between the year just played and the shortened season is due in large part to komarov, i think they actually have a point

it's not just about his individual actions, more so the effect he had on the other players on toronto. In the shortened season every player was finishing checks and playing hard every shift, which i think was mainly caused due to the contagious effect of komarovs playing style

i think we'll see a huge spike in effort this season, and i think komarov will be the main reason for that
