The tank is so on, right up to the last game.
Being said, he should give us a thank you, by dummying Subban.

Putting his physical well being on the line more so than any player.
It's a dangerous thing to fight in the NHL, and he never held back. Easy to get your $$$ and take your foot of the gas.
Also when he got sent down to the AHL the first he really reinvented his game for a 2nd chance, and he got it.
Hard not to like him.

It's because he's retiring. I'm okay with it, give him one more.
Edit: Oop. This isn't confirmed but it's his last year on contract and is being speculated.

Thanks for saying what is obvious here but some cynical "fans" don't get - he gave it all for this team - nuff said.

Good call.
While his hockey skill may be lacking, at least he threw checks and had some bite to his game.
Orr-Prust fight on Saturday?

He's baaaaaaaack!
Hoping for one last tilt in a Leafs sweater.
Colton has played some damn good 4th line hockey in a Leafs sweater, and some less than stellar hockey as well. Still, I like that they are showing him some respect here. He's shown the Leafs respect, and it's good he gets some back.

He definitely played a tough role but I fail to see why the Leafs have anything to thank him for or owe him much. It's the only reason he was in the NHL to begin with. Should we thank (and bring back) Rosehill, Wilm and other past tough guys that played the role of the heavy weight without contributing anything else?
But I guess it's a nice gesture considering the head traumas he suffered over the last few years. A nice last game before he likely retires in a meaningless game, I'm fine with it.

Used to love Orr back in the day. Happy they are giving him one last game. One of my favourite Orr moments was against the Habs when he just bulldozed through them and knocked Bourque on his ass.

Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
I can't believe it bothers people that much that a guy who is retiring is being given one last NHL game to play in after a career in the NHL. He never won us a cup, he never did anything spectacular, but he played with his heart on his sleeve and fought for the team.
It's sickening how "cool" it's becoming to hate every player over 25 on their "favorite" team.

If Carolina can manage 1 point, then I would love to see this happen.
Colton Orr hat trick and fight. Boyd Devereaux who?

Did you even read what I wrote?

Where do I say it bothers me in anyway? I don't even hate him. It's nothing personal.
Eh. I think I'm against having goons like that in the lineup at this point, but he's a ****in soldier and was always willing to pay a price to help/protect the team. He deserves it.
