Leafs sign Colton Orr

The Leafs have signed Colton Orr to a four year deal worth $1M a season.

This is a fantastic signing. For the first time since Wade Belak left, the Leafs have a true heavyweight.

The Leafs as a team are still not tough enough. But this is a major step in the right direction. Great work by Brian Burke.

Here are some Orr highlights to get you in the mood:

You are so right... wait, is that Chris Neil's music?

@DHS...

In all honesty, at this point Neil wouldn't be a tragedy since he wouldn't have to be the enforcer.

He'd still be a mistake, but not a tragedy.

@DGB-
Neil would make a excellent pre-game speed-bag in the dressing room for Orr. Sign him for $50 a game. :)

Holy smokes. Once you mentioned Orr I really wanted it to happen but didn't think it would. Nicely done. Great call.

Good job Burkie.

Don't get too excited, he ducked a lot of fights last year. He seemed to be coasting on reputation a lot. But at least you don't have fucking Donald Brashear. I will now drink a pint of AIDS.

He didn't duck a single fight, Renney kept him on a short leash. Leafs get one helluva player, who does have it in him to play above his enforcer role.

Kyle said...

Helluva player, 1 freakin goal there Scotty. Let's not get all hyperbolic there.

Enjoy him Leafs fan. Colton Orr is exactly what you guys need and he will be dearly missed at MSG.

F'ing disgusted Donald Brashear is a Ranger, they replaces Colton with that bum?
