Meridian Choked Up After Leaf Great Retires

On this momentous day, the Toronto Maple Leaf 2009-10 season opener, it is fitting and important to pay tribute to the retirement of a Leaf great.
He served his assigned role with class and modesty.
He was never a problem in the room.
He was not a complainer.
He was cooperative with the media.
He never agitated or bemoaned the “sad” [...]
