The man gets nothing but hate from every corner of Leafs Nation and pretty much every fan base who likes to rag on Leafs Nation.
But how bad is he? Here we have an exploration in comparison.
Post jump, I will compare the blonde bomber to other, similar stay-at-home defensemen.
Let's get it on!
First, Let me state that this is, at best, an incomplete study since it will only take into account this quarter season. I was going to do a multi-year in depth look, but then realized that Komi only played 34 games last year and most of those while nursing one injury or another. But I digress, let's start with the big man himself.
Mike Komisarek

Really, not that bad of numbers for a rugged stay-at-home defensemen, overpaid a bit sure, but value isn't the be all end all here, we are trying to find out if he "sucks" or not.
