Sundin receives a standing "O" during return to Toronto

[buckortwo1]

Greatest Leaf Rental Player to leave us without a roll of tape or water bottle on the way out. Get out and stay out. Your jersey will be in the ACC hanging inside out and upside down should you need it. How did that cup work out for ya...?

[volcomSNOW29]

@smacksomehoes Completely agree with you. If Burke was GM, he would have defended Sundin and I laugh at the remarks that he would have had to shut the media and fans up.

[IbeJigsaw]

this clip just makes me realize even more how shitty jim hughson and craig simpson are

[0verkillah]

my favourite player all time, even i had tears when i saw him during that game.

[alimony812]

Sundin was awesome, no doubt. The trade turned out to be great. But c'mon trade away Clark . Lol there had to be a better way to land sundin. Clark for crying out loud..... Lol I guess I'm still not over it!!

[starscream1122]

Who the hell boo'd sundin...you stupid assholes who did. He played with such class for 13 years

[pazomblez]

i can't believe people were booing sundin...

[beaverdammer]

they should never have bood him when he touches the puck

[jkyle96]

Greatest Leaf of all time!!!

[CelticCanuck4]

Heres a story for you guys. I was born in Whitby and have always been a Leafs fan. Though through my mothers line of work, I was forced to move to the States at at the age of 5. Down there I got into baseball and such, but I was always hockey and Leafs 1st. The kids always knew me as the Canadian Kid.

In the year 2000 my family moved to Vancouver Island, its good to be home. Of course that summer I didnt really have alot of friends, but I always had the Leafs. and I always had Sundin.

[go2google22]

when it was the old leafs teams i remember i would watch every single toronto game but i stoped for a couple of seasons but now im watchin them again

[attis765]

Jesus. I lived in toronto from 2001 to 2005. Watched allmost every Leafs Game. Mats was my favority with Mogilny and Tucker. Watching this short film made me cry inside. One of the best NHL player ever, who deserved to win the Stanley Cup, but couldn't. Every team wanted him to be in their team. every fan liked him. He is the BEST!!!

THANK YOU MATS SUNDIN!!!!!!

[caitlyneFUCK]

@attis765 I cried too man. My roomate just came downstairs and told me not to be a bitch. dam women if only they understood

[ashlien5]

best comment ever! lmao

[N10100]

@caitlyneFUCK

interesting how you classify all women just according to your roommate. it's spelt "roommate" and "damn". does that mean all men can't spell?

[caitlyneFUCK]

@N10100 lol I live in a house with 4 females (cat included) I forget my youtube pass so I just use my gf's account. I know alot of women so I tend to judge them because thats human nature & almost all of them hate hockey. Also what does spelling have to do with anything. You don't say it's spelt. You say it's spelled. lol the only place in the world it would be accepted is Australia. Quit hating grammar nazi. I guess it's true we can't spell.

[N10100]

@caitlyneFUCK

heh. i'm australian ;). kidding. i was just using a "generalization" to show that most generalizations don't make sense.

[stone1705]

they need some good players like staal bothers

[stone1705]

leafs need sundin he should of stay with toronto cuse look at toronto now are team sucks now without sundin

[xXxBeatdownxXx]

tonight will surprise you with the win they will pull out of their ass now that they are getting in full practices

[sofaking27]

@stone1705 well put, he was a legend

[purple0wnzx]

they sent him to vancouver because hes close to retiring and sundin wants to win a cup before he retires im 15 and sundin is my fave player and ive watched him my whole life go leafs go ill miss u sundin :(

[snallakillen]

Leafs fans nows how to give their idols credit. Just like when Borje Salming got a Standing "O" in 1976:s Canada Cup.Salming got a five minutes Standing "O" during Swedens line up

[gebroni101]

I'm a Vancouverite, couldnt stand the leafs, then we got Sundin and i realized you guys are alright. you got some good fans over there.

[feedyourmind420]

Greatest hockey player to put on the blue and white, leafs fans should do nothin but wish him success

[troyMLG]

@feedyourmind420 Darryl Sitler says hi.

[TheDonman89]

well we can agree on one thing.

wine should not be served at a hockey game, watch the lower level around the bench they get waited on and served wine and shit

[snallakillen]

Sundin was alone in Toronto.They NEVER had the chance to win the Cup so it's great that he moved to Vancouver...FORZA Sweden/Sverige!

[afridi10]

MAts Sundin Is Legend .. Tottally Legend. Hater Can suck dicks. who have nuthin to do jus sit bak behind screen talk shyt..

[TheDonman89]

are you one of thous guys who goes to the leafs games in a sui.t which is why the leafs have done nothing to improve in a long time because of you and the mob bosses that sit behind the bench that the building is so dull and quite and other loud leafs fans can get tickets because the maple leafs are so aiding to big companys like the fans first i know MLSE gave tickets to companys.

[smacksomehoes]

Fuck you, he did everything he could to help us try and win a cup and gave 13 years of his life for us. The man is the all-time Leafs point leader and played his fucking heart out.

Yes, he could have handled things a lot better than he did, but that does not take away 13 years of him pouring his soul into a franchise that seemed content with ticket sales rather than a cup.

Blame Ferguson, and also remember that it takes a TEAM, not just one player, to win a cup... bitter cunts.

[TheDonman89]

i do blame him ferguson was the worst gm ever but sundin is a lieing reatal player still he said im not going to join a team part way into the season ... ummm what did he do?

[smacksomehoes]

He changed his mind?

Life happens, and a lot of things might have happened in his life on and off the ice (he was considering retiring at one point) to make him change his mind.

Like I said, he could have handled things better and he put a damper on his departure, but he deserved every bit of that standing O from true Leaf fans.

[londonpythons716]

@smacksomehoes you sir. you know your shit about hockey. i respect that man :P

[clozeyoureyes]

@smacksomehoes

You will not find a professional athlete as dedicated and committed to a franchise as Mats Sundin was to the Toronto Maple Leafs. All time Leafs points leader and he never really had a line mate that was suitable and as talented as he should have other than perhaps Molgilny.

In an age of Lebron James' Ilya Kovalchuk's etc. how can you guys really come down on Mats about his departure. It's not about how he left, it's about what he did for the leafs while he was there.

[canucks212]

lol sundin betraded the leafs because he likes the canucks go canucks!

[Merryn13]

i was at that game too and i have to agree that it was amazing to be in that crowd. you could tell no one was going to stop cheering untill the puck dropped on that face off. it was great.

[trecool3k]

I was at that game, it was an incredible response from the crowd it was great to see Mats again and I wish him all the best

[Babedollx0x0]

miss the guy already damiittt too hard to forget.

[Mannixxx]

wise decision to leave that disorgaization, unwise to stay as long as he did.

[Grosskomtur1]

well... hes the best!

[zoom13zoom]

Mats, thank you.........number 13 forever

[DigitalGrotto]

.......drama queen.

[zciweiksim]

Sundin is a champ, without a doubt

[mboots]

Hail to the King!!

[JonnyBlaze13]

One of the best games played in the ACC withouta doubt!!!!!

[GardnerDylan]

13 FOREVER!

[raptors4life16]

SUNDIN FOREVER

MADDD RESPECT

[kerrigwen]

I wish we could have given him more...

... love you, Mats! Thanks so, so much - for all of it.

[tribeachpunk]

Greatest Leaf ever! Well, behind #93 and #17..

[losttourist]

thanks for posting it I was on the road at the time and could only listen to it.

[jwillborg]

This clip made me cry. Thanks to the Toronto fans, a class act!

[leftjab123]

Then stop talking about them if you're not a fan.

[GoLeafsGoBaby]

Thanks for the great memories Mats!!!

I'm glad I got a Sundin Leaf jersey!

GO LEAFS GO!!!!

[Lewis94]

You deserve this Mats. A class act all the way. Thanks for the memories.

[ArsenalFan20007]

i blame MLSE for not building a stanley cup team year after year when there was no salary cap considering they made a WHOLE LOT! more than the other teams.... mats, u deserve a standing ovation. thx for 13 seasons of being in the top for points, even when the rest of the team sucked or wasnt even close to u in points.... he could not have been more passionate about the leafs and their success. 13 great years from the #1 leaf of all time

[Freecell82]

Hell of a game, hell of a player. Glad he's on our team now.

Also, Leafs suck. Sorry, but it's obgligatory.

[dhertzberg]

Way to go Mats... I wish I was there to stand as well.

[josiejosie36]

oh man, even i SHED a tear tonight, or two... god i miss the ol mats...

[GoLeafsGoBaby]

your not the only one.

We all missed him <:(

[GivePeaceAChance2009]

Well he is the franchises leading scorer of all time....besides you smell like a habs fan, I can smell the brill cream and snails from here hahaha

[ColdDish1]

lol

[souless08]

you sound like a depressed habs fan...HAHAHA

[s2syed]

Snubbed us? You stupid fuck, how could he fit into this line-up? Wow you're a moron, we're rebuilding for god's sakes, Burke wasn't welcoming him back anyway.

[souless08]

Sundin for the win!!! I love my leafs but that shoot out win for sundin was ok with me!!

[souless08]

Toronto shows yet again, classiest fans in the game of hockey!! Sundin one of theee best players of the modern era of the game!! Toronto better not delay putting 13 in the rafters of the ACC!

[GivePeaceAChance2009]

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PROSPECT AND TOP PICK!!!! just kidding..the greatest Maple Leaf I have ever seen in my life, all the best in vancouver Mats
