If true, then that sucks. I would have gladly taken it off their hands for free.
I doubt it is true and actually seem to remember an announcement saying it would be a major feature in the "new" building. Caveat lector!

Believe what you want guys...... I'm in the know. I know what I'm talking about. It was demolished.
Even if its HANGING there next year, it will be a clone.
"Mr. Levy is especially keen on transforming the old scoreboard with new technology developed at Ryerson."

"Levy is particularly interested in transforming the old Gardens scoreboard with new technology developed at Ryerson. Students at the DMZ are already re-imagining the iconic scoreboard and other key areas of the Maple Leaf Gardens redesign project."
"We've discussed reusing the original scoreboard but updating it with new technology. We're looking to collaborate with some of the students in the Digital Media Zone, using some of the innovative multimedia projects that they're involved in."

"The huge structure that housed the four-sided scoreboard and clock is under wraps for safe keeping, hoisted up to the very top of the Gardens’ roof while work goes on underneath it. It is simply too enormous, Mr. Levy said, to get out of the building. The original frame will be kept. What will go inside it is still a work in progress."

"To further enhance the Gardens' sense of place, Ryerson's Digital Media Zone (DMZ) group is currently devising plans to create extensive interactive media walls throughout the building, as well as on some exterior surfaces, the canopy, and a restored version of the old scoreboard that will once again hang over centre ice. "We want to keep the historical integrity of Maple Leaf Gardens and the awesomeness, but we want to bring it to the now," says Valerie Fox, the DMZ director. "

If you were in the know, you would know that great care was put into making sure the score board was not damaged during the start of construction in order to preserve it for its re-use in the new arena.
Believe what you want.
Its demolished. I'm telling you right now it no longer exists. If you don't want to listen to me, you might as well believe unicorns are real too.
And yes douchebag, I realize that great care was put into it, but in the end it was demolished.. And photographed being demolished too.

Calling anyone a douchebag isn't acceptable behaviour on UT. You've been warned.
AoD
Pics or it didn't happen.
Jobs are on the line? Does that mean someone screwed up and demolished something he wasn't supposed to? Things that make you go hmmmm.
