Borje Salming was a shining light during one of the darkest periods in Maple Leaf history.
Many thought Salming would never last, and wanted to make sure he didn't.
All he did was become the franchise leader in every offensive record for a defenseman. All while receiving interference from every angle, almost effortlessly.
Borje Salming showed the entire hockey world that Europe belonged in the NHL, and his influence still drives players today.
Which makes the sharp decline from ALS that much more heartbreaking.
Rest in Peace, Borje. You deserved so much better.
Heartwarming tribute that made me cry,. Thank you🇸🇪❤🇨🇦
A true legend! Rest in peace King Borge! I hope the team will NOW play harder than ever to win a cup in his honor!!!
I had seasons tickets in the golds during that era. Borje always logged a lot of ice time. Very sad news about his passing.🤧
Loved him when he was a Canuck as well!
True legend ,,off all time one off my favorite defenceman off all team.. he was a warrior,, Canada fall in love with king Borje,,
Im a legend in my own mind
A lot of short battles with cancer lately…
He died of ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's disease.)
He didn't suffer from cancer.
He didn’t have cancer. He had ALS
@Copy King 🤡
ALS not cancer
SANCHEZ ES TERMINATOR.
U cant beat Swedish steel - you can try - but you will fail
His dad died in the iron ore mine in Kiruna.
