Leafs Give Finger His Walking Papers

It's a shame they don't play alternative rock 24/7 at Toronto Maple Leafs games, huh? On Tuesday, the sad result of that fact was Finger being placed on waivers.
Finger was being paid $3.5 million per year by the Leafs, and he will continue to earn that amount, but likely only as an AHLer from here on out, with Brett Lebda taking over the role as the team's seventh defenseman for the time being.
Once the Leafs realized $3.5 million was a little outrageous to be paying someone to be the team's punching bag, it seemed like only a matter of time before he made his way to the minors. Of course, technically speaking two years to admit a mistake is kinda long, but better late than never, right?
