    Very nice tribute to him by the leafs. Bring him out and drop the puck. Then starting all 6 positions with Swiss players.

    Swedish.

    Borje was a trailblazer, one of the first elite European players in the NHL. And a class act.

    Love the World Cup, but watching footballers roll around on the field is an interesting contrast with hockey and Salming, who had a player step on his face with a skate, 250 stitches. Dude was tough as nails.
