heard someone downtown with a flamethrower to get the jersey out.

 

[Warden of the North]

Thats awesome

Wish I was in Toronto to actually see these things first hand.

 

[CorgisPer60]

It would have been funnier if they were just random blocks of ice, strewn around everywhere by disgruntled fans.

BRB GUYS

And this is why we can't have nice things.

Yeah I imagine some toothless construction worker is already hard at work chainsawing the slab of ice in front of the Star open.

 

[legendinblue]

Decent move IMO, and original.

 

[Rob Brown]

Pretty cool.

 

[JAMmer124]

Apparently the point of them is to break them open for the jersey, at least that's what it seems.

@MapleLeafs: Yup! RT @nth5ny: @MapleLeafs If we break it open, can we keep the jersey?

Honestly, with everything that that MLSE has done/is doing (the free tickets and other merchandise, the free night to watch the away game at the ACC next Saturday, now this promotion), this organization has rally gone a step above most other teams, from what I've seen. Having fans out and about wearing their Leaf gear (in order to possibly win free tickets to the home opener) should be a great way to generate some buzz and excitement about the team. Good job.

LOL, I got an old golf club at the office, maybe i should go take a few swings at the ice cubes by Union Station.

I think their thank you is generally stupid. So they thank us by making us go out in freezing cold weather searching randomly for leafs mobiles and iced jerseys, we are busting our ***** out in the cold, thanks MLSE!

 

[The Podium]

Let me go get my blow torch

 

[false bobo]

Leaf players and management repeatedly acknowledged all week long that the franchise is blessed with the “greatest hockey fans in the world,” and the ice blocks are part of the organization’s way of thanking those fans.

Wow, thanks a million for the blocks of ice, MLSE!








All kidding aside, pretty cool.

 

[Pi]

Damnit..I saw one of those, thought of breaking it but then I started thinking "what would other people think?"

I didn't know they were meant to be broken.

I think they are being funny when they say you can break it. I don't think I can break it..

Brb I think I have a box of matches laying around somewhere here.

-6 is cold?

-6 you just put socks on in your sandals.

A lot of people in Toronto have become a bit lazy to do anything on their own.

I've got a friend who drives down to the next block when he wants lunch, coffee, cash from ATM machine etc...

It's a 2 minute walk.

I like these ice blocks. They're actually pretty nice looking and adds excitement and buzz around the city. Wonder how hard the ice blocks are to break?

Can you imagine breaking off the ice and theres like a plexiglass display case that its enclosed in

 

[Drew311]

Considering these ice blocks are all in Toronto, they should melt on their own fairly quickly.

If it were up to you, the Leafs would drive right up to your door and give you free tickets to every game for the rest of your life, right? Some people are never happy.

Drew, it feels like -15 outside. I wouldn't count on them to melt on their own.

its a creative and unique idea but they're saying sorry by asking us to randomly trek to unspecified locations with an unpleasant windchill - have you gone outside yet? a cool idea for normal season marketing, but not much of a 'sorry'

Not on its own but some dry twigs and a flint lighter should do the trick
