That's awesome!!!
Awaits to see who else will jump on the Transformers train.
To make it more awesome, they should play "The Touch" after every home win. :D

Too bad he's a crappy goalie XD poor leafs, just can't quite get there, this year!! At least they aren't doing as bad as my favorite team though, the senators.. them and Edmonton are a big dissapointment this year.
Anyways, back on topic, I love the logo, looks pretty cool!!

Ha ha old news, but still cool.
Don't get me wrong you Habs fans make me wanna wretch but don't you ever jump on that sinking ship!
He needs to sharpen his game a bit but he'll be good one day, and hopefully by that time he'll be a part of my Bruins. |

I cheer for the Bruins this year, not the Habs! Tim Thomas is the man. He's like a reborn version of Kelly Hrudey, only better. |

FYI Optimus Reim is having a pretty damn good year so I'm not sure what this "crappy goalie" comment is all about....ooohhh...Senators fan...yyeeaaa nevermind, I think that disqualifies you from being considered knowledgable about Hockey whatsoever :p
T-SHIRT BOUGHT!!!!
EDIT: Went with the hoodie...I can't believe I just spent $44 on a hoodie LOL! |

The B's have one of the best goaltending tandems (if not the best) in the NHL right now, for sure.

Well said sir. Especially Senators fans that beak about poor goaltending...here's hoping Reimer's not a one-year wonder and he can keep rolling next season.
Love the logo itself, simple enough to be used for goalies in general too. |

WHAT? I guess a record of 18-8-4, gaa 2.55 pct .922 is pretty shitty........oh wait his record is better then all 5 of Ottawa's goaltenders.
I know we are just razzing here, leafs fans are required to argue with senators fans :)
But seriously, for a rookie call up who was only supposed to cover a game or two due to injuries/wellness of Giggy and the "Monster" he has had a sensational season. Next training camp should be interesting, I'd guess giggy and his 6mil contract will need a new home. |

...and this is even more impressive considering how much the Leafs D leave the kid out to dry LOL. Thank gawd Phaneuf has finally come around offensively. Aulie may end up being the steal of that deal.
LONG LIVE OPTIMUS REIM (please)!! |

Oh man you LEAF FANS! Get over it, the season is OVER, the team stinks, Phaneuf was a bust. The Senators/ Habs will be contenders before the Leafs will. Heck... I'll even say the "Winterpeg Jets" will be a better team next year. :)
On a side note... Love the logo, good on you Rimer!
GO CANUCKS GO!

Rask kinda sucks this year (10-13-2, 2.69, .918). Thank God for Tim Thomas (33-10-8, 1.96, .940). |

The Leafs have actually had a great season post-all star break. It's a shame that they only started to gel as a team now, and weren't playing like they have been the whole season.
Phaneuf is finally doing what was expected of him, Reimer's excellent goal tending, and the addition of rookies like Kadri have really helped the team out.
I'm hoping by next season they will have figured everything out and will be a force to be reckoned with.
But until then...GO PENS GO! |

Oh don't get me started about how dissapointed I am about the sens XD I ended up only watching one game this season, haha, too bad to watch. I watch the leafs game all the time with my Gf's dad, He bought a 65" DLP tv, and an HD reciever just to watch the leafs game. so awesome. |

So at what point does this get him an invite to TFCon?.
If he's actually a fan he might be an interesting guest if the price is right.

Hmmm...I wonder if I can start a petition for the Canucks to start using nicknames for their star players like "Luongimus Prime" and "Sunstreaker" and "Sideswipe" Sedin for the twins.
Maybe then they'll change the pre-game song to "The Touch"!

Like the 86 movie, when all hope was lost...here comes the guy that turned it all around.
Reality: after Giggy and the Monster got hurt, he came up expecting to play only a few games, till one of them came back, but then he did so well that he's now pretty much our #1 goalie. |

Not really, he started the season with a 1-6-1 record... Luckily for him, he got a short (4 games) winning streak at the end of February. |

FYI Not making the playoffs for six years and counting does not constitute a 'winning' record in today's NHL. Being a .500 team means nothing ever since the shootout was implemented unless, of course, you make the playoffs.
The only thing Toronto wins at is being the most profitable team in the NHL, lol... Thank God I'm a habs fan and have had the luxury of seeing Montreal win the Cup twice. :D |

I wonder if Carey Price will ever get nicknamed Optimus Price? Maybe we should get the ball rolling (despite his shitty end of season).
