Domi re-signs with Maple Leafs

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed their first free agent and it's a familiar name.
Tie Domi has re-signed with the Maple Leafs, agreeing to a 2-year deal worth $2.5 million.
Domi has been a crowd favourite since rejoining the Leafs in 1994-95. His best offensive season to date came in 2002-03 when he registered 15 goals and 29 points.
The Windsor, Ontario native was originally drafted by the Maple Leafs in the second round at the 1988 Draft.
"We value his services," said Maple Leafs GM John Ferguson, who declined to elaborate. Domi turned down a more lucrative offer from another team - reportedly the Pittsburgh Penguins - for three years for $4.5 million US to stay with the Leafs, a source said.
The 35-year-old right-winger is third on the league's all-time penalty minutes list with 3,406. He trails only Dave (Tiger) Williams (3,966) and Dale Hunter (3,565).

After years of bashing Lindros in the press it appears that domi is taking yoga classes with the Big E just days after Eric's signing with the Laffs. The same asskissing tactic domi used with Selanne and Sundin. The biggest dressing room cancer, (not named Tkachuck,) in the NHL is working his BS again in a vain attempt to save his career.

Domi has hung on for the last 14 years because he kisses just the right rear ends, fights like his life depends on it on HNIC yet when his teammates really NEED him, he disappears. When things start to go bad, he's the first one to point fingers and the last one to actually do anything.
Case in point the Mike Peca cheap shot on Selanne in Vancouver. Domi acted like a madman screaming "don't play Bure next time" yet he fought absolutely NOBODY that game dispite ample ice time against Peca, you know, that guy who layed Selanne out? He then bashed the city, fans and his teammates except for Selanne of course because that's who's butt he was kissing to stay in the lineup even though Paddock had finally tired of his games.
In Toronto Domi has been a leading cause for their underachieving. After winning the love of hockey fans everywhere for suckerpunching Ulf Sammuelsson, he decided that he had a licence to pull that same garbage week in and week out. So with Game 5 of the second round in hand against the Devils, he decides to sucker Scott Niedermeir to show up Scott Stevens, a guy who Domi was too chicken to fight during the series. This wolk up the Devils when they were down and out and cost the Laffs their best shot at the Stanley Cup since 1993.
Then he was the ringleader of the divided dressing room that resulted in Shane Corson's snap "resignation" from the Laffs in the playoffs. Domi then went on to stage a renegade team party that divided the team even further in the off season.
Worse yet, Domi's antics cost Pat Quinn his GM position in Toronto, (dispite the fact that history has shown that Quinn is at his best when he is doing both jobs.) It all started when Quinn attempted to trade for Eric Lindros and all the sudden Domi hit the ceiling blasting Quinn for the idea in the media declaring he would never play for the Leafs again if Eric went there. Once the trade was inches away from becoming a reality Domi declared that Lindros would never be welcome in the Leafs dressing room. The next day the deal was dead. Many blame this series of media tirades just as much as Clarke's arrogance for the deal falling through.
Late in the season Domi layed a few more blasts on Quinn through the media declaring that Quinn needs to step down as coach if he wants to be GM or vice versa. Claiming that the team had no confidence or trust in him as long as this was the case. (Even though not one other player on the team shared his attitudes.) That offseason, Quinn was removed as GM citing conflict of interests and lack of confidence from some of the players. Quinn gives Domi more chances than anyone in his roster almost out of fear now because the media and fans love Domi so much. This dispite being the Leafs' worst player BY FAR and a big reason why few quality players ever want to play there.
The Jets traded Domi for Eddie O and Mike Eastwood. While neither are with the Coyotes, (former Jets franchise,) anymore, they were much more of a positive influence and helped the team win hockey games a lot more than a glory hungry goon who only cares about one guy.

Tie Domi is the most overrated goon in the league he does nothing but fight and talks alot of trash in the media. The toronto media loves the guy to death except for Bill Watters ;D ... but yeah nothing but a locker room cancer to everyone and the only reason he's still stuck in Toronto is that he kisses everyones Go Jets Go..media, fans even players. Hey Tie, remember some guy named Tiger Williams? yeah he was a Maple Leaf and he was a good but the difference is that he had TALENT..nothing you ever had in your career..You wanted to kick Scott Stevens Go Jets Go but you didn't caue you backed out...
The only reason your still there is because the fans love you and your their to buy tickets..Tie your time has come in Toronto..the fans first big free agent signing was you and their pissed off that they could've gotten someone bigger instead they got some big bagger..
And for the "Eric Lindros never in Toronto" comment..Tough loss Tie..seems like someone is going to steal your Thunder...
Cry me a river and retire...

What sucked is that Domi wated untill Scott Stevens was in the penalty box then he sucker-punched Niedermayer. Hoo Hoo Stevens looked like a Siberian Tiger on PCP after that happened.

Tie Domi yapps his mouth when no one will pick on him..I'm sick and tired of his monkey face on the papers and his face on TSN kissing everyones Go Jets Go about "oh blah blah blah he's to chicken..."
And the Leafs lost to the Devils that round...the next year they lose to them again...and the next year lose to Carolina..next year lose to Philly..and lose to Philly again the next year...
They will never win if Domi's still there..

Tie Domi ain't SHIET without his big elephant ears and his monkey sized Go Jets Go. If that "goon" is supposed to be the leafs media boy then The Maple Leafs organization is a disgrace because that negro lookin feces steaming pile of MONKEY CRAP is TIGER CRAP!
I hope he gets traded to the worst team in the league and lick and kiss elephant balls on his way there...

Worse yet, domi will threaten anyone who has a problem with him, (including a procecuting attorney during his testimony to the grand jury last year.) He can't leave his tough guy act at home but it is almost always all an act on the ice. Then again, he's in Toronto so they think he's the second coming of Bob Probert, just like how they overrated John Kordic 15 years ago.
