Mats Sundin Tribute on TSN

[purple0wnzx]

what a coincidence my favorite player gets traded to the leafs also my fave team on the year of my birth day thats sick :)

[TheAmbition23]

i love how the top comments just flow perfectly lol

[Canadianflipboy1]

man only if Sundin was still a bit younger, him, Kessel and Lupul would own everyone.

[michaelfrp]

Sundin took the leafs close twice, Gilmour and Clark were awesome but how much postseason action did they give the leafs? I ask that for real, I moved to Canada in 1998 and Sundin is one of the biggest reasons why I'm now a huge Leafs fan, I was lucky that the very year I moved to Toronto I saw them make the trip to the conference final. I would always remember Mats Sundin as a leader, he did not need to talk, he led with actions, goals and points speak louder than words or fists

[SOLIDSNAKEXXX360]

come out of retirement and setup Kessel

[azynkron]

Average of 78 points over 12 seasons (excluding the last).

[RaGESniping]

i forgot he had hair

[TheAogGuy]

No elite winger?

Alex Mogilny.. although it was short, he was one of the best.

[pazomblez]

the only really good winger Sundin ever played with was Mogilny.

[legomasta100]

pause at 0:42 look at who scored on the ticker......Bulldogs 2G: M. Grabovski???? WTF

[lthe6thkira]

@legomasta100

yeah grabo was drafted by montreal

[legomasta100]

@lthe6thkira Oh well toronto signed a good player

[moneyball69]

anyone who questions anything sundin as captain, needs to get their head checked. He is a god in Toronto and is unequivocally the best captain in leafs history

[soundwave132]

Yes i agree, he was one of the best players ever to play nhl hockey,and will be missed!

[robs2500]

imagen if the nordiques would have kept both forsberg and sundin!!!

[leafs1319]

man it still is tough watching the leafs without him..its gonna take a while to get used too...

thank you mats! I watched this guy since i was 6. I dont know of any other leaders...it was tough to watch him skate wit a canucks jersey..

one the greates ever!!

bring him back for one more year!!!

[VeracTheDefiled1]

Toronto doesn't retire numbers, they honour them, because they have had a lot of greats over the years, there would be too many numbers that couldn't be user, but I agree.

Right now only 5 and 6 are retired.

[Kerec]

yeah it should be retired and hanged up with the other greats, I would be very surprised if it didnt

[asmba]

Sundin's number should be retired.

[LEAFS543210]

and it will

[famouseal]

@asmba retire numbers is dumb. can't believe people actually do that all they deserve is to have their name honor. just because a guy came before me i can't wear his #? before you know it we have numbers hitting 100. guess we should retire little league numbers too. the number doesn't make the player good the player himself does! honor him and the name. nobody cares about the number you wear or choose to wear.

[Swecan76]

Hard to see him leave the Leafs, but the leadership didn't really seem to want him and I think he felt that so he left.

One thing that I always thought is that he never had another player in is line that was almost or as good as him.

He had to carry the team a lot, he was a league of his own inside the Leafs.

[Kody1307]

i agree completely, he never had anybody along side his like the stars of today, Crosby has Malkin, and Datsyuk has Zetterberg, those are all good examples from the last 2 cup winning teams

[natmm1234]

@Kody1307 crosby and malkin are both centers and play on different lines

[gp10]

i will cry if i see him in a another jersey!

[painlover20]

Better start crying. :(

I just cant see him with a vancouver jersy on. The Best Leaf Ever goes to The canucks :(

I Litteraly felt sick hearing the news.

[bigdrizzle5]

Sundin pwns man with that monster slap shot

[wordlife1528]

true yo

[goaliebilly]

sundin is the greatest leafs even i could never see him in another jersey never

[GoalHornDude]

lets hope sundin stays with the leafs!

[nhklty9]

[MrsJosephJonasx3]
