You are obviously not a Leafs fan.

We can blame him.

Oh, Lordy Lordy, we can blame him.

Are you going to watch the race on Monday?
- Atomic Wedgie

I have to work unfortunately

I wouldve otherwise

Now I have that song running through my head.

Although I'm changing the words to:

And I miss you,
Like the Wedgie misses beer...

which he would be taxed on as well

my point is... stamkos comes to toronto only if he wants to play here... because truth is, he can make more elsewhere

for instance... sign in detroit and still get the same endorsement type deals north of the border since there is a huge red wing following down windsor way
- Dozzer

Honestly, the team is legendary, original 6..25 year playoff streak.

It's the last place I would want to play as an NHL player, id even prefer Edmonton.

Detroit is a cesspit.

I've been there twice, and I assure you, I will never go again.

but I agree, whole heartedly, Stammer is only coming to TO if he really wants to play here. Edorsements and overall celebrity status would go up, but his bank account could surely be padded better elsewhere.

You don't get the same endorsement deals for the Windsor market as the GTA market.

Whenever I'm feeling down about where I'm at in life, literally and figuratively, I book an immediate trip to Detroit. Problem solved

It is not the ass-hole end of the planet, but you can see it from there..

he doesnt have to live in detroit

there are lots of small communities nearby that are really nice

i am just trying to temper expectations... every damn off season every good player wants to sign in toronto according to these boards .... its annoying as (frank) to be honest

Just a tip,,,, book your trip to the Caribbean and think of Detroit.

You don't get the same endorsement deals for the Windsor market as the GTA market.
- Atomic Wedgie

detroit has a following all through southern ontario

he would get comparable deals easily

any other line of thinking is nothing but wishful

There are tours that you can take to see the decline and abandonment of Detroit.

I'm actually tempted to take it.

My favourite - Michigan Central Station:



Abandoned.

exactly, I don't think he's staying in Tbay 100%. but that's my 2 c!
- Lucas.Neilson

I'd say that for now at least he'd be 1c.

i honestly dont care if Stamkos signs with the Leafs... now I think thats what he wants to do...I just dont see why he wouldnt have re-upped with TB if not..

for once I dont think the Leafs future success depends on signing the next big FA.. never had that feeling before tbh.

The Leafs will be fine if he goes somewhere else..I have no doubt

If it's some sort of "live action" tour, make sure to pack your Glock.

Most guys like being in the mix so travel is minimal, and yes there are some decent area's around Detroit. None that I have seen, but I know they exist...I won't go back there, ever.

tempering expectations, that's a must.

we have some direction as a team for once...so I have a bit more faith that we bring in a good piece or two this off season, stammer or not.

Hi I'm Steven Stamkos of the Toronto Maple Leafs and I LOOOOVE BOB BANNAMAN!

He can come to Kitchener and move next door to Todd Bertuzzi

Southwestern Ontario has a population of roughly 3.5 million, with almost no corporate headquarters.

The Golden Horseshoe has a population of approximately 9 million.

Add to that fact the Maple Leaf has much more cachet than the winged wheel for endorsements, and I politely giggle at your notion that I"m just being wishful.

Today's going to be a long (frank)ing day.

I have poop to do.

- senstroll

i agree

the only point i am making is if its money he's after... he can make more elsewhere

if he wants to play for the leafs, it will be because he wants to... no other reason
