Social networking sites are all the rage among businesses these days, and it turns out that the Toronto Maple Leafs are no exception. The team has been operating a Facebook page for almost a year now -- but for some reason it's closed to the general public.
Well, no more. I was able to hack into the network long enough to grab a copy of their newsfeed. And since I figured that DGB readers might be interested, I'm cutting-and-pasting the entire thing here.

Love it,
Keep it up.
Everyone at work thinks Im nuts while I sit here laughing my ass off
I'm trying to keep the laughter to a dull roar - co-workers are giving me the evil eye...
When did you become a doctor?
Cause you had me in stitches! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*dead silence*
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHA
GOLD JERRY!!!
Your talents are wasted here. The score better be payin big bucks cuz this is probably more popular thant the scores own website.
Just when I thought you'd gotten as good as you can get.
Man, oh man, you are EN FUEGO.
Fantastic work
Wow. Sublime. I said your last one was the best yet, but you've out-done yourself yet again.
Amazing, DGB.
I am in tears, laughing. Best post in the history of the internet.
Baaahahaha. So good I thought it was real... excellence.
Bloody brilliant.
This is fabulous. Very nice job.
This is the first good thing to ever come out of Facebook.
And I fully admit to cheering loudly at the last update.
Not Bad. I'm actually curious to know what you think about the latest round of Balsillie vs. Bettman
That was epic hahaha
Incredible. DGB, I don't know where you come up with this stuff. I'm also looking forward to a post on the Balsille/Bettman ordeal.
you sir are the king
GOLD. Especially Matt Stajan with an eyepatch and th "kick to the nuts" for Berger
Brilliant. Truly Brilliant.
I know I already said this on Rangerland but sorry about that whole Hollweg thing. Trade of the year getting a 5th rounder for that sack of crap.
How are you doing this stuff for free?
Genius.
That is golden, I do like the 2009-2010 lineup at the end, I think it is doable!
Absolutely brilliant. Especially the Hallway Soccer bit.
Oh man, Stajan in the eyepatch and Bettman's "WTF" reaction to the Lightning trade had me rolling. Love it.
This is either epic in its awesomeness or awesome in its epicness, I can't tell which.
Heck, both! Outstanding!
Beyond amazing. You don't even have a top-5 anymore, it's expanded to a top-10, MINIMUM.
More Gold where do you come up with this stuff?? Classic. You get better every post.
Great work! I'm a Habs fan, but my favorite hockey blog is now a Leafs blog. That's how good you are.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
ill
Hahahahaha!!!
They're not words for how funny this post is, and you never fail to up the ante. Keep it up, because this stuff is awesome!
This is ridiculously good. Bravo especially for the Stajan eye-patch. Awesome.
You're a complete maniac. I'm so in love with you.
Love the comments after Jeff Finger joins the network. Jeff Jackson had me howling.
Dude, you are hillarious. Can't wait for your next blog.
Brilliant work yet again DGB. One question tho, why have Bozak leave "Future NHL Stars"?
Regardless, absolute genius.
because he's a leaf, leafer
we dont get stars
haha, man, that was awesome. Really well done.
next time, make it so that the links are all clickable. i desperately want to visit the "beached whale sightings" site.
surely you have time ;)
DGB FTW! Brilliant stuff. Loved the "18 people joined the group Toronto Maple Leafs Assistant General Managers," and of course anything that refers to WCH's testicles getting damaged.
Fucking brilliant. BRAVO!
Best post ever! i think i'm going to read this every single morning
"Curtis Joseph completed the quiz "Which 1990s Maple Leaf are you?" with the result "You are Curtis Joseph"."
I crack up every time I see this nugget. Brilliant.
Fantastic work! By far the best season recap I have ever seen. Well done.
If DGB could write a book detailing how he
a) Finds the time to do epic posts like this, and, much more importantly,
b) Gets his wife to agree to let him do them on a regular basis, the book sales would allow him to purchase family season tix at the ACC. Or something close.
hahahah good stuff
my biggest concern with DGB is that he keeps setting the bar HIGHER with each hilarious post... they keep getting better and better; at some point we are going to feel let down because he's been WAY TOO GOOD TO US all along!!! :)
Fucking genius.
AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Amazing Sean! You are wasting your talents here.
Hey DownGoesBrown
How about a post about the Swedish goalie, The Monster (I dont feel like trying to spell his name).
You can do a similar post to the one you wrote on Tyler Bozak and where he should play.
Toronto vs. Dallas vs. Vancouver
get er done!!!
Alfredsson 'liking' Mark Bell's departure and the whole Finger thing had me in stitches. Well done.
Instant classic
My favourite is the, "Which 1990's Leaf are you quiz". Classic.
So frigging awesome, an instant classic. Someone's got to give you some prime time coverage.
By far the best Leafs-related humour piece I've read in years. If laughs were dollars, you could retire on this one.
Another Rangerlander checking in - this is a brilliant piece!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAAHHAAHHAAH
i am dying
hahahahahahaha
LOLOLOLOL "Gary Bettman: WTF?"
GOLD.
very comical
The only thing that I find stupid is that Gerber added the Switzerland on place I've been when he is born in Switzerland
