November 11, 2008 Mike Comrie missed Monday's practice to get his surgically repaired hip re-evaluated, according to the NY Post. Coach Scott Gordon said, "He's at the point where he'll get it checked and make sure it's going where it's supposed to be going, find out if he's making the progress he's supposed to."

September 17, 2008 Mike Comrie indicated that he underwent off-season hip surgery, according to Newsday. He said, "My hip had been bugging me for two or three months. It's one of those injuries that was nagging me for a couple of years, but it got to a point where it started to hinder my play. I started second-guessing myself if I could get to the puck as quick as I normally can."
Our View:He is starting to feel better, and has been working hard to get back to where he needs to be. He believes he will be good to go for the start of the upcoming season.
