Bix, he said skating

that pretty much leaves Allison out of the mix
- Dozzer

I know, so many bad choices.. I could run faster in socks on ice, than he could skate.

Or Jason Allison , ,,,, So many bad choices over the years.

Free agent signing who scored 60 points in 66 games.

Why the frank do Leafs fans hate this poor bastard so much?

Oh, right - he was really slow on a penalty shot in his first game.

Dozzer I hope you're banning the Sundin haters

- bixll

in fairness to Allison.. at least he produced.

60P in 66GP

problem was there was nothing else to his game

nah.. if people want to hate a first ballot all star who is the all time points leader for the leafs that only makes them look (frank)ing stupid.

seeing that kind of nonsense is comedy.. and they think they're taken seriously.. its adorable really

Over the moon Phil is gone. It feels all weird having a president that is actually practicing what they preach and getting rid of players who are troublesome/all about me/devoid of any self-responsibilty. I'd imagine this is how it feels to be a fan of one of the other 29 NHL teams.

One of the very best trades in franchise history.

Can't even hate on Allison anymore...

oh brother
- the_eye

i agree with him

moving kessel and getting him off this roster is worth more on its own than any return

i see i've come to the wrong place in search of rationality
- DoubleDown

you wouldn't know what it looks like

Can't even hate on Allison anymore...
- bixll

oh go for it

as far as i know he's still skating off the ice and has been since 2006

His sentence was just 4 words too long.

Cold molasses and Brad Marsh come to mind when I think of his skating.

yeah maybe, but the timing was way off and to retain is ridiculous

what i dont get is the 180 turnaround from uncle timmy wanting to take down all the past leaf memorabilia from the hallways, to erecting statues outside

Still 3 times faster than Allison.

oh hell.. in 3 years that chunky lil poop will be so far out of shape it will cause him to hit the downturn of his career early

worth the damn move.. money is the least of the leafs problems

by the time the youth movement starts to look for their own big coin it will be long off the books.

Well Leiweke isnt the official CEO of Rogers anymore, a man by the name Guy Laurence is.

There is nothing wrong with honouring past greats imo.. shows young kids too that if they play with everything they got for the franchise, they will be remembered in some way shape or form

Can't even hate on Allison anymore...
- bixll

What I don't get is how this guy is still on anyone's radar.

He played one season. He did OK. Not great, not bad.

But as far as Leafs Nation is concerned, it's like we all came home early from school one day to find Jason Allison plugging our mom on the living room couch.

I can easily name 20 guys who deserve our hate more.

Make that 40.

No, 50.

Hell, probably 70...

not the point, could have waited for desperation, got a better package and didn't need to look like they were the ones desperate


same old, same old

- jimi james

ever wonder why "uncle timmy" got pretty quiet after that whole episode about taking down the old stuff?

perhaps it was because someone said something quietly along the lines of...

"hey Tim, just so you know... those old pictures are legacy and history"... "you might want to keep that in mind before you shoot off your mouth again in public"...
"remember you are in a figurehead position... no one actually asked you for your opinion"...

First of all, it is not hate, it is distaste He was just first to pop into my tiny brain. Try not to make a GIANT deal of it.
