I had to google it, never knew of such a place named Orono

I have family there

Dad/Grandpa

Jake Gardiner has top notch advanced stats. Maybe the best on the team
- TheThrill

I always piss myself when I read that.

To fully appreciate Jakie, you really need to watch him live. Watch him with the puck. Watch him without the puck. Watch him with the puck, as he hangs on to it for far too long. Watch the frustration build of all his teammates on the ice with him.

It would be hilarious if I wasn't a Leafs fan.

We're talking about Franson being on this team...Franson!

Sweeney won't even sign him ffs.

He'll take a discount to stay in Toronto. How much is why he's not signed yet

I'm giving him one more crack this season...I've always hated his game, not even sure hows he's in the league but.......1 more, there must be something there NONIS gave him $20m

Nonis? The guy who gave David Clarkson 35 mil+?

Yes will be interesting the see what Babcock can do with him. Hoping for the best. Expecting the worst. Never disappoint.

Still I will cheer for Jake

Detroits D always seemed ok.... But I only really watched them play the Leafs though

I don't think he'll be on the team, I just don't think he's all bad.

Good release - long reach - can hit the net

His list of faults are longer but......he's not all bad

then my obscure ontario town name pun probably didn't work on you lol

He has all the skills he needs to be great, and I have seen some of that great play years back. I am hoping babcock can work with him and turn him into something

- twiztedmike

But why Twizted...why? He offers nothing toward their future - maybe buys them some time, or arguably a chance at better draft pick, but I hate that Regret Train so much - the deals they made, more so than the deals they didn't. So lets just move on from him?
Is he going to improve as a player? Don't think so. So let him be someone else's headache, or mid cast defenseman - he has no future here.

I don't think he'll be on the team, I just don't think he's all bad.

My point, he's of little help toward this rebuild and the Leafs future, so why bother.

Leafs are so bad.
- Woderwick

How bad are they?

Follow the yellow brick road...Babcock is Oz.

Sit in the corner and think about what they've done, kinda bad

- Woderwick

I've moved on, but he's not that old for a D...some guys especially D take a little longer especially trying grow into a big frame...but let's move on...we are so lucky we get to watch Jake for another year

old but still nice

You say potato, I say WTF !!?

They are so bad...What do a fine wine and the Toronto Maple Leafs have in common?

A: They both spend a lot of time in the cellar, cost too much and are only enjoyed on select occasions.

Wedgie's angry Monday morning rant:

I haven't read the transcripts of what Hulk Hogan actually said, but it strikes me as completely hypocritical that the WWF (or whatever the frank they are called now) would dump a guy who made them hundreds of millions of dollars, strictly because they unearthed a tape that is 8 years old that has him using racist slurs.

Is this really what we do now?

Am I the only one that finds it bizarre that "we" hold a professional wrestler to standards that we could never uphold?

I haven't used racist slurs in an angry tirade, but I guaran-effing-tee that if you taped everything I said and did for the past decade, you could come up with something embarrassing.

I don't demand perfection from people. I demand that people constantly pursue perfection.

I haven't watched wrestling in about 30 years - I was never really a fan, but I do know what a huge role the Hulkster played in pushing wrestling to the forefront of pop culture, and making the WWF a huge brand.

He should have been allowed to apologize and then we should have all moved on. The WWF should have stood by him. The Hulkster deserves that loyalty from the organization that made a boatload of money from him.

Severing ties because of one tape - that was eight years old?

Is this really the biggest embarrassment the WWF has ever faced?

Gutless move. Completely gutless.

Kinda reminds me of the LA Kings

What do the Maple Leafs and the Titanic have in common?
They both are awesome until they hit the ice
