Amazing Reception for Mats Sundin Return to Toronto ACC - Maple Leafs vs Canucks Feb 21 2009

[CodCats]

Aww, when I was younger, I'd watch every leaf game when he was on it, I haven't been watching hockey as much but I remember Sundin especially.

[DJdaveyshpins]

Greatest leaf ever hands down! Look at the stats...and look wat he's done leafs we shit he never bitched and said he wanted out! Real class act mats! I heard in february retiring his number! Gotta miss bob cole yelling MATSSS SUNDINNNNNN

[hmandrswag]

Matts sundin my fav palyer till he went 2 vancouver but he still shoudve won 1 stanley cup w/ toronto and canadian hockey is the best

[MyCoxAfloping]

One of the greatest players to never win a stanley cup

[L4cer8]

As a Canucks fan, I wanted Mats badly on my team. But this brought tears to my eyes. Toronto, he will always be a Leaf, and you treated him like royalty. It's sad how it turned out management wise, but class all the way though. Hockey is hockey, only Canadians get that.

[hockeyrumblers]

@L4cer8 great speech

[ar83es]

Thank you Toronto fans for celebrating Mats like this - North America is the only country in the world that knwos how to celebrate the stars...

[tankesttank]

[GOburrowsGO14]

[XCosaNostra]

Mats, you did a good job in Toronto you did all you could, it was time to move on, i've watched you on the leafs since i was a kid, thanks for the memories.

[noimnothindu]

[SundinOwnsYou]

Thanks Mats for the 13 seasons, I'm a leafs fan, but since we're rebuilding I hope u win a Cup this year, you deserve it

[Spammmz]

[campaign4liberty]

Thank you Toronto fans this comes from a Canucks fan.

I cheer for your team to make the playoffs and happy to see you beat the NYRangers the other night

[fuzzypits]

Thanks from a Leafs fan. People can say what they want about how the Leafs are doing, but we have a good fan base.

We'll make it back.

[Wh33lzZzZ]

Yup, I agree.

[vemsomhelst1]

Youre the best hockey fans in the world and thats the reason im up all night watching toronto.. soo sad mats didnt win the cup with you guys. also remember how well you treated börje Salming. love from sweden

[funkychicken013]

definitely a class act all the way. heart and soul of the leafs for so many years...i don't like seeing the leafs lose, even tho i know it'll get them a better shot at a lottery pick, but its weird, never been happier at seeing a leafs loss than saturday. mats i number 1 with a bullet any day.

[PanteraHouse]

i cried when i saw this..

[goleafsgo7]

Best Leaf captain ever IMO. It made me cry watching him play against the Leafs

[godofjamming12]

matts has scored the most goal then any other leaf he is a hero and a good guy go matts go

[dalerz111]

this was AMAZING.... one of the best games Ive seen live! this lasted lke 5 min

[djdrew77]

this gave me goose bumbs- i miss Mats

[shootgoats]

LEGEND

[crazenate]

I was there...almost in tears.

[v102]

best leafs player in my books

[wopchop69]

Even though im a leafs fan, I was so happy he scored the winner.

Sundin for Prime Minister!!

[coolwaves22]

greatest leaf ever, i wish he could have braught a cup to toronto. deserved nothing but a standing ovation. wish you all the best in vancouver mats! BRING THE CUP BACK TO CANADA AND BRING IT TO TORONTO!

[wackedoutgurl]

I was never a fan of Sundin, but in all honesty watching that moment was heartbreaking.

[foskco87]

Congrats leaf fans, you managed to prove everyone wrong in that you do have class after all. Good job for you real fans to drown out those boo birds.

[MeredithisRebecca]

At the very least what he deserves!! Good moment and he is a true professional and got on with the game.

Note how hugely Cliff Fletcher is cheering!

[ColdDish1]

Fletcher and Sundin are very good friends

He traded for Sundin so im sure the was a cool moment for Fletcher

Too bad Fletcher could'nt sweet talk SUndin in waving his no trade lol

[GoLeafsGoBaby]

Even though they lost in the shootout, I still wish I was at this game.

[Chets14]

he should have been booed the shit out of right there.

i live in toronto but leaf fans are complete retards

[LeafsFan42]

ur a fuckin retard he had 13 amazing seasons, he never gave up or complained, unlike vince carter who was a little bitch

and u dont know shit kid

cause no other team in canada has more cups and i know fucker but montreal queerbec is not apart of canada french fuckies

leafs all day bitch!!

[13jon13]

well said

[wackedoutgurl]

Um can you pass me the drugs that you are on, because you are clearly delusional if you aren't on anything.

Being in Toronto is not all what it cut outs to be, you can be loved one moment and spit out the next. In terms of insulting the French, please go back to school and learn some Canadian history.

P.S- It's You're, not ur.

[foskco87]

I agree. Insulting quebec and saying they arent part of canada is just prejudice and ignorant. You insult them, then you insult Canada. And no im not from quebec im from bc. Its people like you who make people like me hate toronto fans. Although its really hard to hate toronto fans after watching them cheer for mats...

[shawakwak]

foskco87

"Its people like you who make people like me hate toronto fans"

Why would you even consider this option? There's about 5 million leaf fans in Canada. You're a smart person and you can recognize a troll when you see one. Stop feeding them.

[shootgoats]

you're the fucking retard. 13 seasons of consistant hard work and dedication. learn the game you ignorant piece of trash.

[dalerz111]

i was there :) AMAZING.

[kokkomcp]

anyone see that he got karate-chopped by the referee?

[JaysCyYoung1]

And then everyone got back to booing him during the regular play.

[will81387]

Awesome moment! Wow!
