TSN: Colby Armstrong: "...I want to kick their ***"

[Scoogs]

Understandable how Colby feels. As would any player.

But can this city put a stop to former Toronto players humiliating us?

 

[Rob Brown]

I'm really not sure where the armstrong hate came from. He was a good player who gave it his all for us. It was a rough shake, but does every signing that doesn't work out have to be hated? Leafs fans can be whiners sometimes.

No one would really care enough to hate him if he didn't say that. I don't really care that he said it, but it's not like it's blind hate.

 

[Lilou]

I'm sure he said it jokingly and with a grin. Not the clubs fault he got injured so often.

 

[Future]

In addition to this he was smiling like a ********* when they asked him about Burke's firing.

My thoughts exactly..

 

[MakeTheIronSing]

Is he supposed to say it would be great to lose to my old team?

 

[Sokil]

Typical turncoat Leafs Nation turn on their players as soon as they leave the team and play for someone else.

Typical Leafs fanboy, rooting for Montreal players just because they used to be with us.

 

[Rare Jewel]

lol

This guy makes Tim Connolly look like Cal Ripkin




Move along.

1st time Komi hits Colby he'll be injured for half the season and he can join Scott to get paid to sit at home.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Hope Dion destroys him. But that's only if he doesn't injure himself during the pre-game nap.

 

[FireEverybody*]

Who ?

In addition to this he was smiling like a ********* when they asked him about Burke's firing.

Well, what the hell would you expect?

He was basically told by his employer that he was too banged up, too unreliable, and too old to be apart of a team that he worked so hard to try and be on.

Then, when that employer is fired, he has a bunch of nerdy reporters looking for a malicious and humorous quote from a guy who generally is very playful with the media.

Really? Do people expect him to shed a tear for Burke, and have such a heartfelt connection to Toronto that he doesn't want to play against them?

I don't understand where the anti-Colby brigade are coming from. He was injured for a large part of his stay here. You know what's funny about injuries - they aren't a player's fault, they just happen.

I respect Armstrong - the guy tried to hide a concussion from the team because he was so anxious just to get on the ice and make an impact. A concussion, which coincidentally, was picked up trying to defend a teammate.

I've got nothing but respect for the guy. Didn't work out here, I wish him well, and expect nothing less than 110% when he has the chance to give it to us a little on Saturday.

Komi has to learn how to skate first

 

[DD03]

What is he suppose to say? I wanna go into the ACC and give all those guys a great big hug!

 

[re5piration]

Have fun in the IR, plug.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Somebody get Armstrong a stretcher he's probably going to get injured in the 2nd period.

pfft.

made of GLASS!!!

don't care he's gone. like, not at all...

Yep, nothing to see here.

 

[onebighockeyfan]

I hope he gets his ass kicked by Brown.

When Brown is not playing for the Leafs we'll be closer to making the playoffs.
Our bottom 6 is pathetic. Armstong is better than any of our bottom 6 and for 1 million he's a still.

In addition to this he was smiling like a ********* when they asked him about Burke's firing.

I was smiling too!

 

[onebighockeyfan]

I don't really see a problem with what he said. Especially considering this is Colby Armstrong we're talking about here and we don't know the exact context he said it in. He's the type of person where half the stuff he says is sarcastic and he tries too hard to be funny.

Komarov is the next guy we'll throw under the bus.

 

[Whitesnake]

Not sure but I would bet it's what every ex-player thinks when they face their old team for the first time. Not sure....

 

[Pierre Gotye]

Armstrong's kick *** style didn't do anything except keep him off the ice with injuries.

He was an overpaid, underperforming winger. Better, cheaper options were available. He's not a victim, but when you eat up salary, and roster space when you spend a majority of the time on IR you become quickly expendable

 

[Pierre Gotye]

Komarov is the next guy we'll throw under the bus.

I'm a fan of Komarov, and hope he's not overhyped. I hope he makes the team and makes a difference somehow. With that said, he'll have to earn his ice time.

He's the Carlo Coliacovo of forwards.

 

[Confucius]

That was a negative?

I guess you guys wouldn't be up or an Armstrong tribute video then.
