But i have to say even though Toronto Maple Leafs are HABS rival team and i hate them i always had respect for Mats Sundin, leader on and off the ice,
Best Swedish forward to skate on NHL ice, (best swedish player i'd have to say Niklas Lidstrom)
@thundercatshoooo Ya i hope so too. i don't think there is anyone else who deserves it more than Koive right Now. He has proven his worth as a player in the NHL, thru all his hardships he has prevailed and he's just the best.
Go Koivu,
As much as i hated the Leafs, i always respected Sundin and I wish for his sake that he would've won a cup too.
@Skrangelben i dont understand how sundins career was better than forsberg. this guy won 2 cups and many other trophies in less time than sun dins whole career!
@LegOmniuswhat? sundin only played in the Swedish elite league for a year (18pts) while peter played for 7 years (over 100 pts). if you're talking about all time points in the nhl, yeah, sundin did get more points than forsberg, but only because forsberg was injured so much by foot problems. forsberg has a much better pts/game ratio than sundin. plus forsberg won 2 cups, an art ross, a hart, and calder trophy with the avalanche. don't get me wrong,sundin was great but forsbergs game was complete
BEst Captain Of LEaf History. Amazing, and always was there when we needed him, too bad we never spent some money and got him some REally good players to surround him with, then we coulda got a cup. We'll all miss you mats. your the man
ah yah, and ever heard that Mats owns All The LEafs Offensive Records All Time..? Keon was Good, But The Talent Is Way Better in the last 25 years, Mats is BEtter Player Anyway, Bigger Stronger, Faster
Sundin is a traitor! I wouldn`t hang his jesery upside down in the ACC. We got sweet FA for him when he left `not to be a rental player`! Best thing that ever happened is that he never won a cup. Does not deserve it. Nor does his number with the greats that played in this city. TO should be pissed with him not applauding him for leaving. Team guy my ass! GO LEAFS - F SUNDIN!
yea, it's different with this team having no superstar on the team but i think luke and nazem will blossom into stars in the near future and become future leaders. i hope viktor can too.
It feels so weird! He has always been there and played in both Toronto and Tre Kronor (national tem) year after year and suddenly he's not. I have been growing up seeing him play and all. It's just feels weird.
Yeah i meant in the NHL and i know that forsberg has a better Game ratio but still both of them are really good

@friskie1986 I have to call a spade a spade,
Mats Sundin was great and deserved to hoist the stanley cup and have the ring if not more than once,
and i don't think he was given a very fair trial in Toronto,
Same goes for Koivu,
Two great leaders, people just didn't see them for what there true worth was!

@TLFPRHCP at least koivu will have a shot with the ducks. it would be great to see him and selanne win it together.

If you look at total career I agree with you. The swedish player with the most talent was/is Peter Forsberg.

Gained a lot of respect seeing Alfie in this interview. Would have been awesome to see Lidstrom as well but what can you do?

There are so many Leafs that were fantastic since the cups was last won.
Borje, Wendel, Doug, Felix, Mats to name a few.
A new saga begins.
Luke, Nazeem, Viktor.. go get'em boys its been to long since hockey meant something in Toronto beyond corporate seats and money.. Bring stanley home.

No he was not the greatest. He is one of the greatest Leafs of all time. But not THE GREATEST all time.
And yea it sucks he did not get a cup.
