Are you more likely to cheer or boo for the return of Dion Saturday night?

Hopefully he gets cheered. The guy acted like a pro and it's not his fault the Leafs gave him a fat contract that was near impossible to live up to!

Still hate the Sens as much as ever but hopefully Dion's does well.
I never fully bought that argument. Of course it is partially his fault. The Leafs didn't just hand him that deal, they negotiated it. Which means he asked for that kind of money. I don't blame him for taking it or trying to get everything he can, but he's not some victim who was forced to take a deal he couldn't live up to. Both sides are at fault. If I'm going to blame management then I'll give him his share as well.

I wouldn't boo Phaneuf, probably just a half-hearted clap. Was always a bit lukewarm on the guy and never really left an impression on me outside of the guy who missed the net and injured teammates with his shots :laugh:. But really the guy worked out there, just not as good as he was being asked to be.

Wish him the best in Ottawa, but if I was there I wouldn't be cheering like nuts for him. He was just ok.
