Win A Free Jersey Courtesy Of Stan Lee

The NHL Guardian Project just released Toronto's superhero: The Maple Leaf. Befitting the largest fanbase in the NHL we have the biggest Guardian. Bangin Panger has a great post on the Guardians and their superhero inspirations but I think he'll have his work cut out for him. The description of The Maple Leaf features the following:

The Maple Leaf, or "Trunk" as the rest of the Guardians know him, is one of the funniest of the Guardians. Always quick with a joke or a sarcastic barb, the Maple Leaf often disarms his opponents by bringing levity to tense situations.

Sounds like Leafs fans are the real Guardian. While this is clearly targeted towards a younger demographic than that which posts here there is something that will interest anyone here: A free Maple Leafs' jersey.

More details after the jump.

Grabovski and Kulemin are both signed to respectable contracts next season, while MacArthur becomes a restricted free agent on July 1st. The Alberta native has already expressed a desire to remain in Toronto, excited at the prospects of playing with his new Russian linemates for the foreseeable future.

Grabovski echoes similar sentiments.

"I hope we stay together long-time," he said. "We need more time to play together."

As the 25-year-old MacArthur wrapped up interviews with inquiring media on Friday afternoon, a smiling Grabovski rushed in, eager to show off the line’s new off-ice accessory.

"These are our power bracelets we got," said MacArthur with a smile, showing off the blue and white bracelets the trio now sport. "I hooked us up with these energy bands. We got ‘em last game. They’re supposed to give us a little extra juice."

So far they haven’t needed it.

Kessel

Message has been tweeted! (@stevemccutchen is my Twitter handle.)

As for the name I’d want on the back of the jersey… that’s a tough one. All of my current jerseys are blank, actually. Unless the player is a living legend or a “lifer” with the team (e.g., Lidstrom, Alfredsson), it’s hard to put a name on the back of the jersey knowing that it’s only a matter of a time before that players get traded or waived or whatever. I’d rather support the team in general than just one of the players. The exception, of course, would players that are associated with a fantastic playoff run or some other awesome moment that must be immortalized (such as Gary Roberts in 2002), but we haven’t had something like that around here in quite some time, so…

That being said, I’d have to go with Kessel, probably. At least you know he’s gonna be around for a few more years and will always be one of the team’s go-to guys during his tenure in Toronto. And hey, he’s an all-star! That’s gotta count for something!

Re Tweeted (@MedicL510)

Honestly, I love Kule, he’s mind kind of hockey player through and through. But being a goalie I think I want to be the first kid on the block with a Reimer jersey (on my block it would be any hockey jersey period). I love the way he plays in goal. Calm composed, makes everything look simple. I honestly think he has a really bright future ahead of him in net and after seeing him play I think he would be a more solid and consistent goalie then Gus (not to mention he’s being developed probably, not that this is any of Gus’ fault). He just plays more of a style that I can relate to.

Re-Tweeted

For me, if I’m gong to put a name on it, it’d have to be Schenn. Whether it’s ‘home’ or ‘away’ doesn’t matter.

My rationale is that he seems like one of the players that will most likely be with the team for a number of years to come, and really, I cheer for the Leafs, not any player in particular. I’d probably go with Kaberle instead if I didn’t think there was a strong chance that this was his last season in Toronto.

But I guess of the few players I think will be around for a while, Schenn is one of the easiest to cheer for.

Oh, you better believe that's a paddling.

Been wanting a Schenn jersey for a while! Probably safest bet in regards to who will be with the team for the long run too!

Spawned from the mind of comic book legend Stan Lee, the Guardian Project tells the unique story of a boy
who has the ability to transform his imaginary best friends into superheroes.

So, this kid has these imaginary best friends, and they aren’t already superheroes? Who has a normal imaginary friend? How can anyone lack the ability to turn their imaginary best friends into superheroes?

Schenn

Schenn is fun to watch, and it seems like he’ll be around for a while to come and will be a productive player. Saw him at the bar the night of the 08 draft in Ottawa, seemed like a pretty big beauty.

Luke Schenn

I would like Schenn on a home jersey because I believe he is the future of our d-core, and one of the main “stones” to build around.

If you want to get your maximum dollar value out of the prize, I’d suggest Dave Andreychuck or Joe Nieuwendyk for length and scrabble points.

But I think Zezel would be a phenomenal jersey for scrabble. Particularly if one Z is on a double letter, which is very doable.

Let the Wookie win.

by Kenjamin on Jan 24, 2011 4:34 PM EST up reply actions  

You could get the first Z on a double letter and the last L on a triple word, which would be worth 102. Now to just wait until Zezel gets added to the dictionary. :)

Mostly because I think he’ll be a Leaf for a looong time.
That, plus – he is awesome.

You may never “retire” your Potvin jersey! You may give it a bit of a rest, but it’s always relevant!

@knightsfan89 and I’d like a Aulie Jersey, he’ll probably be on the main club next year and I’ve been a big fan of him since he was with Abbotsford

by Knightsfan89 on Jan 24, 2011 4:01 PM EST reply actions  

Schenn for sure..

He’s always showed the potential, but it seems this year he’s turned into the beast we all hoped he would – really looking forward to seeing how he grows in the future :)

(@joshields11). I already have a Dion so it makes sense to also rock a forward. I would definitely want a Kessel because I’m a big supporter of his and an optimist about the trade. Would love to represent that support and show fans that its okay to love Kessel and all of his awesomeness.

Oh, and as to why… He was doing his magic right around when I first came to Canada and became aware of the Leafs, he’s an entertaining finesse player to watch, and he always just seemed so grounded as a person. If I’m gonna walk around as a grown adult wearing a shirt with another grown adult’s name on the back, might as well be someone I think I’d get along well with if I actually ever met them ;)

Done

RT’d from @j6events… as for who I’d get, I went back and forth between Schenn, Kulemin and Grabbo multiple times before I got to the end of this thread, but think I’d go with Grabbo if I’m lucky enough. The amount of times this season I’ve jumped up in my living room and yelled out his name after a great play or clutch goal, how could I not go with him!

Finally on the Twitter train, @j6events. Follow me, I swear I'll have interesting thoughts soon!

Kulemin cause he’s Russian.

I’ll have to go with an OLAS jersey. He’s definitely our future.

by mapleleaf4ever on Jan 24, 2011 4:31 PM EST reply actions  

Kulemin

Because he’s a model of what every hockey player should be in terms of work ethic and attitude.

He recognized early in his North American career that he had to get better on the defensive side of the puck if he wanted to be a legitimate NHL player. Given the stereotype of the Russian hockey player (Kovalev, Yashin, Zherdev etc.) it’s refreshing to see that proud hockey nation produce a player of his calibre and moral fibre.

Go Nikolai.

Kaberle

Don’t care if he’s leaving by the end of the season. He’s the longest lasting Leaf on the roster by far, a great memory from a great era, and an awesome player.

Ok so I'm not a Leafs fan...

But my 9 year old niece is and her dad is a Sens fan so I’ll see if I can win it for her…

As for the name.. I’d have to ask to see if she has a favorite Leaf, but if not I think Kadri would be a decent pick for someone who is going to grow up with the team..

In this case I would suggest Schenn; he will be with the team for a long time and she will probably have a crush on him in 3 or 4 years.

As for why? Well, like it or not, he’s the face of the franchise right now. And I have faith that he’s going to turn things around and be the force of nature we always thought he could be. Plus I’ll never forget his dominance in the world juniors several years ago (2005?)

I’d love a Clarke MacArthur home jersey cause he shares a name (plus a letter) with my fav Leaf of all time Wendel Clark (who’s on my old, white, home jersey)

and he’s not too bad of a player either.
