The Maple Leafs Believe in Justin Holl. Now, He Must Reward Their Faith

The Toronto Maple Leafs clearly believe in Justin Holl as an important piece of their blueline. Now is the time for the defender to act like it.

I am going to ask my HR person to rate my job security on the scale of Robertson <> Holl, Holl being a god damn lock.

If the Sens were bought and relocated as a 2nd Toronto team, would you make the switch?

If the Sens were bought and relocated as a 2nd Toronto team, would you make the switch?

Probably not personally, but I think a lot of fans would do it in a heartbeat.

Same, if it was another downtown core team.

However, if it was closer to Hamilton or Niagara, I think I might. Would be much more difficult if that was the case. I'm a hometown team kind of fan.

If the Sens were bought and relocated as a 2nd Toronto team, would you make the switch?

Never.

If the Sens were bought and relocated as a 2nd Toronto team, would you make the switch?

Good question. I’ve been loyal to Leafs since childhood so I’ll stick with the Leafs. But not gonna lie it would be tempting. Lol

I'm stuck with this franchise until the day I die

 

[justashadowof]

A second franchise in Toronto is a bigger money maker than the team staying in Ottawa. Richmond Hill seems like a natural location with potential real estate and the subway extension to Highway 7 plus the junction with the Go system.

The cost to buy into the market could be high but let's face it Rogers would love a second Toronto team as a television draw. And I'd hope that a departure of a team from Ottawa wouldn't be permanent like with Winnipeg.

No. I was imprinted on the blue and white before I could walk.

Sabres don’t deserve to win wearing those white pants.

Pens can blow a lead with the best of them.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Ugh, Buffalo is looking strong .. they're gonna sweep the Leafs this year aren't they?

Would be fun to face them in the first round!

I think the penguins are in trouble. They’ve had a good run the last 15 years but this might be the beginning of the end for that core.

The Burke curse.

But I think they're the kind of team that will win 20 games in a row or something.

If the Sens were bought and relocated as a 2nd Toronto team, would you make the switch?

nope but i know people would love it.

I think the penguins are in trouble. They’ve had a good run the last 15 years but this might be the beginning of the end for that core.

The core of Crosby, Malkin and Letang are still going to be together for a few years to come.

They just haven't surrounded them with good, young talent to extend their window for that time frame.

I wonder if Petry could be had...

 

[keonsbitterness]

nope but i know people would love it.

I don't think the Leafs will allow a 2nd GTA team.

[TheTotalPackage]

I don't think the Leafs will allow a 2nd GTA team.

That screams more of Toronto-based investors getting into the brotherhood of NHL ownership, with a team mere hours away, at a fraction of the cost.

 

[Apex Predator]

If the Sens were bought and relocated as a 2nd Toronto team, would you make the switch?

I wouldn’t switch for a 2nd Toronto team but If they moved to Hamilton they would be second team for me.

 

[Fogelhund]

Where does the idea come from, that he'd move the team?
