salming is the best toronto maple leaf since 1967, a true leader, outstanding individual and a man who played to win every hockey game during his stellar nhl career, if you want to win play like Borge Salming 🍁 thank you Borge rip 🇸🇪
I believe it was for two games only that Salming, Yzerman, Kocur and Probert all dressed and played together, in late March. That must have been really something to witness.
Borje Salming was my childhood idol growing up. It's absolutely heartbreaking to see that video of him battling ALS. God bless you, Borje. Long live the kIng.
Yes really blessed getting that disease. Please spare us yout hypocritical "god bless" comments. If there was a god and on top of that a good god as you claim then why are there diseases like ALS?
Borje Salming 21# was ever one of the most loyal and heart-strong players ever in NHL hockey. 16 NHL seasons with a team that despite being one of the richest teams in the league was so darn cheap and never gave his team any support. Harold Baller was missed by none Maple Leafs fans. Salming only remained with the franchise for so long because of the love & respect its fans gave him and his teammates. 17 NHL seasons and no cup. Just like fellow Swede Mats Sundin with 18 NHL seasons and no cup. He was like Salming in that he also remained strongly loyal. His last year in Canucks was only because the Leafs did not want to re-sign him due to rebuilding (and that was a poor one in the following decade).
Looking back, so many times you wish the Leafs had a dedicated owner running the franchise... Hopefully these upcoming years can bring a stanley cup here, the diehard fans deserve it.
Gord Stellick was a joke of a GM. Letting Salming go and not finishing his career in Toronto ! He will and never should live that down .. Salming will always be the king and Stellick will always be a joke. R.I.P King Salming ...It should have been Stellick not you 😭
He's naming young rookies who would "be there in 2 years" but most of them left the Leafs before they reached their prime and he's not even naming Damphousse who was their #1 forward by far, and he too eventually left the team. What a lack of vision!
Was Borje Salming face injury caused also by the light beams/ sparks from the hockey skate blade? Was his eye injured by the pepper spray that they seem to spray from the ceiling as I left the Old maple leaf gardens / Loblaws
You can't blame him for wanting off the team. In this world there are few constants, one of which is that the Leafs are trash. They either lose all season long, or start off great and then fade, just scrape their way into the playoffs, and then are eliminated in the first round, often by dropping four.
*ding. June 1989 Borje Salming is tired of all the loosing and terrible Leafs teams. He decides to leave and sign with Detroit. God what a heathen. Signing with an inferior American team.
RIP Borje. He IS a legend.
He just moved to the hall of fame he lives forever
IS not Was
@@sageen Ok

great player .
What a badass!
The man, the myth, the legend.
I was there that night in Detroit when he took the skate to his face. Gruesome!
R.I.P Börje 💛💙💛💙❤

Hopefully in our lifetime!!
Wow ....legend still
And then the Wings missed the playoffs and that was the last time THAT happened til 2017
Leafs curse
His skill was only matched by his class.
Love like Iafrate was younger guy

Harold Ballard wasted so many good talent at their prime during his 'reign of terror'.
He got tired of Leafs losing in 1989.. It was only the beginning :D
May he RIP

@@jenshaw1509 You do seem to get pepper-sprayed a lot. Maybe has something to do with you and not your surroundings? :)
Heartaches and Hall by Gord Stellick.
Gord As A GM that was thr biggest joke in hockey it was the defining point of Ballard's craziness
Stellick was a snot nosed kid who made the worst trade in Leafs history. Russ Courtnall for John Kordic.
He died today. Rip borje
Such a sad organisation I'm a fan of
He was a beauty! One of my all-time favs! Too bad he played on the most poorly managed team in North American sports.

Leafs are cursed
William Munny nah, they are just crap!

Now he moved on to something else for good ;(
