We are a joke

No, not you. Don't worry.

my honest opinion? i think they're trolling the media, plain and simple.
- DoubleDown

Seems most likely.

Honestly, stupid choice when all is said and done, they finally have a good outing after 3 bad games, and they find a way to keep the negativity flowing. Or maybe they like the us against the world thing, as someone else said.

Arguably best D on the team right now. Period.

Definitely the worst. Period.

I'm starting to think Phaneuf actually make other guys better.

Points don't make a good dman. That's all he's good for, but at the end of the day he's a big factor in many goals against.

Some nights Id rather see the team go a man short than play him.

oh boy do i have the perfect team for you....

Need a lot more horses if they are going to think that way.

Dallas Eakins! COACH OF THE FUTURE!

right but usually the "us" includes the fans

That belongs to Gardiner. (coming from a guy who has his jersey)

But he looked puzzled, there were other guys heading out to but were steered away.

I only remember Franson but I didn't watch overly close either as I didn't think much of it all till it was brought up.

The D core isn't good.

So it doesn't really matter.

Polak has been nice though

Every season, he's been paired with dregs, and made them look NHL calibre.

Why that's his responsibility is beyond me.

I can't contain my laughter, if you seriously believe this, I have no further words, sorry Yeti.

I do not understand #salutegate.

I am not 12 years old.

If, as the commentator suggests, that it was planned and then denied by the team as planned, Phaneuf should lose his 'C' and most likely be traded as you cannot come back from a thing like that.

But again, that is if only someone has video proof, can read lips or is 12 years old.

Leaf nation gets a little defensive at times.

If only the team did...

I don't think any fans left the rink thinking "damn leafs didn't salute us!".

If your saying Franson/Gunnarson aren't NHL caliber you are so out to lunch it isn't funny

You think Gunn and Franson should be in the AHL?

No think definitely are not. Just thinking about all the guys he's played with and made them look serviceable and most aren't even 2 pairing guys but borderline NHLers

Mike Augello: Leafs Rebound With Win Over Lightning; Salute-Gate
- mikeinbuffalo

The sooner the Toronto media realizes they are not omnipotent beings deserved of velvet glove treatment the better. I swear to God these guys feel the Leafs players should kiss their rings before answering their assinine questions. 98% of fans would not have even noticed their was no "salute" last night had it not been brought up - like there's not enough actual hockey-related stories to cover.

I can't contain my laughter, if you seriously believe this, I have no further words, sorry Yeti.
- LeafMan

Keep fighting the good fight.

I don't know what people see in Dion

I don't think any fans left the rink thinking "damn leafs didn't salute us!".
- Feeling Glucky?

I didn't hear any fans booing the team for not saluting at the end of the game....and I didn't even notice at home watching. Just the media being douchie.

Gunnarson sucked the last couple of years, with his injured hip.

Franson shouldn't play unless it's a power play... 5-on-3 to be safe.

I can't contain my laughter, if you seriously believe this, I have no further words, sorry Yeti.

I think he means because Dion is so bad....

No think definitely are not. Just thinking about all the guys he's played with and made them look serviceable and most aren't even 2 pairing guys but borderline NHLers

Frason and Gunn are boderline NHLers?

Man oh man
