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

[Metal God]

lol

This guy makes Tim Connolly look like Cal Ripkin




Move along.

Where's the "Like" button for this comment?

 

[KingBuzzo]

Haha, Colby. I loved the guy, but he didn't do much of anything for us but keep the press box warm.

 

[ITM]

In rap groups/acts, what do they call the guy that occassionally inserts a "yeah" between verses? Is it a "hype-man"?

That's Colby Armstrong...A very enthusiastic, well-meaning, Mr.Glass kind of fourh-line "grinder" who proves Sean Avery's sad assertion that most hockey players aren't that bright.

Enjoy the millions for nothing, Colby.

Leafs Nation bids you adieu.

He's the Carlo Coliacovo of forwards.

This is the Colaiacovo we all knew and loved. This would have been season ending if he was with the Leafs.

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.

Hope he's not overhyped? Too late for that, he's WAY overhyped on these forums. The guy would not crack the roster of almost every team in the League.

Why do you say that? Is it because you've been watching KHL games extensively over the past couple years? You didn't like how he played with the Marlies earlier this season? Or is there another reason?

Really curious.

For myself, I haven't seen Komarov play THAT much other than with the Marlies. Reading what KHL fans have been saying about him, it's enough for me to know that he can easily be a good contributor at the NHL level. Being used as Ovechkin's linemate in the KHL sure has to be seen as a positive, even if it's just the KHL.

There's obviously a chance that he doesn't translate his game to the NHL but I think he's got a good chance to be able to.

For the most part, people see him as a 4th liner this year with upside to perhaps grow to a third line player for next year or so. If that's overrated, than I don't think you know what that means.

poor colby, knowing him he'll kick somebodies arse, miss and go butt over tea-kettle and separate his shoulder and dislocate his ankle in one fell swoop

LTIR 7 weeks

That's a load of crap. Have you ever even seen him play ??

Seems like most people hope he can be a bottom six guy. How can that be over hyping him?

 

[hockeyfanz*]

I couldn't care less about this never has been scrub. I was very happy with his buy out. Useless.

Oh yeah baby...glad the stiff is gone..nothing like hating one of your own....plug. The guy is an effin coward. Whose butt is he gonna kick? Phil Kessel? Please. The guy is a joke and I hope someone punches him square in the face like Ben Eager did.

 

[feeel10]

komarov is a huge upgrade over armstrong IMO. I'm not saying komarov will be a star, just that colby wasnt good enough at his job the last seasons. he was soft, not intimidating at all, couldnt kill penalties nor score at the other end.. the only good thing was that beeing always injured opened up spots for frattin, kadri and colborne a few times. I liked his personnality though and he seemed well liked by his mates..

Saturday is going to be interesting

Army didnt do **** for us,watch Leo k rub his ass out thier 1st shift out

 

[FrozenJagrt]

He's the Carlo Coliacovo of forwards.

No. Colaiacovo, when healthy, is actually a good player. Colby Armstrong, when healthy, is a waste of space. In other words, he's the Jonas Gustavsson of forwards.

BREAKING news
Colby Armstrong broke his jaw during an interview

He shouldn't have opened his mouth

 

[AvroArrow]

Screw Colby Armstrong, hope he gets laid out.

haha nice

 

[RonEllisFan]

Have a feeling he and Leo Komarov will be friends in no time

 

[RogerRoeper*]

Poor Colby. Made millions for doing nothing but getting hurt constantly on the Leafs. What a tough life..

 

[TheOneArmedMan]

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

Never liked Armstrong.... he was always injured, and did not play well because of it.

He should actually be happy that Burke was classy enough to buy him out and let him pursue other opportunities.

If it were me, I'd have him play for the Marlies, even the ECHL if it were possible.

 

[Todd Skill]

Sadly, Armdog was injured halfway through the comment.

 

[namttebih]

I don't know if anyone heard him on Cybalski today but he had toned it down quite a bit. I'm not sure if he was told to or if his original quote was more tongue in cheek(he is quite cheeky) but I wouldn't take it personally. He really didn't dis the Leafs at all today.

 

[p.l.f.]

colby's a bum lol
he's got some nerve to speak out after being an absolute piece of garbage for us

Sure, he was not spectacular. It wasn't from a lack of effort though. (Ps not making excuses)

i hope somebody pops him good.
