Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today.
Tie Domi retired today with an emotional press conference at the ACC. A player with LIMITED ability yet played 1022 games in the NHL - sheer determination & the want to play. Too bad our Leafs of this year aren't the same & won't be without Tie in the ROOM. He wanted to stay a Leaf & when no contract offered to him he decided it was time.
Good luck Tie

I was about to write about Tie Domi's retirement, but I see twins from bolton beat me to it.
He's our all-time penalty-minutes leader and he ranks third in the NHL with 3, 515 minutes in the box. He came up for a couple of games in 1989-1990 but he returned for good during the 1994-1995 season. During those eleven years he played with a great deal of heart. Remember this fight with a Flyers fan and this fight with Bob Probert while with the Rangers? More importantly from this fan's perspective, who will ever forget this? I certainly never will.
