The top secret Toronto Maple Leafs Facebook feed

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.

    ReplyDelete
  14. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  15. GOLD. Especially Matt Stajan with an eyepatch and th "kick to the nuts" for Berger

    ReplyDelete
  16. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  17. How are you doing this stuff for free?
    Genius.

    ReplyDelete
  18. That is golden, I do like the 2009-2010 lineup at the end, I think it is doable!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Absolutely brilliant. Especially the Hallway Soccer bit.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh man, Stajan in the eyepatch and Bettman's "WTF" reaction to the Lightning trade had me rolling. Love it.

    ReplyDelete
  21. This is either epic in its awesomeness or awesome in its epicness, I can't tell which.

    Heck, both! Outstanding!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Beyond amazing. You don't even have a top-5 anymore, it's expanded to a top-10, MINIMUM.

    ReplyDelete
  23. More Gold where do you come up with this stuff?? Classic. You get better every post.

    ReplyDelete

  34. 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 ;)

    ReplyDelete
  35. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Best post ever! i think i'm going to read this every single morning

    ReplyDelete
  37. "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.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Fantastic work! By far the best season recap I have ever seen. Well done.

    ReplyDelete
  39. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  40. hahahah good stuff

    ReplyDelete
  41. 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!!! :)

  43. 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!!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Alfredsson 'liking' Mark Bell's departure and the whole Finger thing had me in stitches. Well done.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Instant classic

    ReplyDelete
  46. My favourite is the, "Which 1990's Leaf are you quiz". Classic.

    ReplyDelete
  47. So frigging awesome, an instant classic. Someone's got to give you some prime time coverage.

    ReplyDelete
  48. By far the best Leafs-related humour piece I've read in years. If laughs were dollars, you could retire on this one.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Another Rangerlander checking in - this is a brilliant piece!
