The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Friday that the team has re-signed forward Darcy Tucker to a multi-year contract. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Tucker, 29, played 64 games for Toronto last season collecting 32 points (21 goals, 11 assists) with 68 penalty minutes. He finished fourth on the team in goals, fourth in powerplay goals (8-tie), fourth in shooting percentage (14.4%), fourth among team forwards in average ice time (17:50) and fifth in shots (146). He also played 12 playoff games for the Maple Leafs scoring two goals with 14 penalty minutes.

The native of Castor, Alberta has played 609 career NHL games for Montreal, Tampa Bay and Toronto collecting 298 points (127 goals, 171 assists) with 1015 penalty minutes. His best season came in 2001-02 with Toronto when he set career highs in goals (24), assists (35) and points (59).

I don't mind this. As long as he can start playing healthy for an entire year he should be good.

and I love the fact that he pisses everyone off.

*K.D* · 06-18-2004, 05:03 PM

I love Tucks.

I think alot of people have the wrong impression of this guy, yeah, sure he pisses people off, thats what the job he does entails, if people are stubborn enough to not be able to look past that fact, then I don't know what to tell them.
He's a heart and soul guy, he wants to win as bad as anyone else, and for that, I think he should be respected. :)

And plus, he can pass the puck extremly well.

No, another 20+ goal season.

His 03/04 season was a great one compared to the others. He had his offensive spurts and he was doing a good physical job without going as crazy as he used to. Good to hear.

It's funny seeing him yap to other players and starting stuff, as long he keeps scoring and stays out of the box.

**Cujo_31** · 06-19-2004, 03:39 AM

I like Tucker. i'd like him more if he was an Oiler!

You know there are like a lot of players who can score 20 goals, it isnt an amazing feat.

They should have just gotten rid of Tucker....like Green and Corson

It is an amazing feat on our team. Look at our goal scorers from the last few years; Tucker was pretty much the only guy on the second line down that's scored more than 20.

The differences between Green, Corson and Tucker is potential and skill. Green and Corson didn't really have either when they were here (although I kinda miss Green). Tucker still has both.

It's a simple fact. Fans of other teams can't (or choose not) to look past their hate for him and his reputation and see he's a very decent player.
