Mats delivered a killer speech in the city he plied his trade so magnificently for 13 seasons, dedicating his HHOF induction to everyone who supported him throughout his career:

    I wish this guy was playing in between Phil and Joffrey with Luo as our goaltender. We’d be SC contenders. Love Mats, what a fricken player.

    Hi guys

    Been away for long time – not enough hockey to talk about.  :-(

    But Sundin deserves a comment:

    Great person, Great Leafs and a great player that we certainly could use now.

    Someone here or on another site said it so well: Think if we had the stability that Mats brings on the team now.

     Totally agree. I firmly believe he could make Kessel a 60 goal scorer. Now where did I leave my uranium and plutonium for my time machine. The trick will be to not have the two Sundins meet…

    We cant bring Mats back.  We need to find a similar replacement- ie. a 1C future hall of famer..  Bring that to the team now.

     other than the 30 second commercial at the beginning it was a good clip. Definitely miss having that monster 1C. No matter what state the team was in you always knew you get 75 games and 75 points out of Mats – without fail.

     Not a bad scenario by any means.

    To be honest looking at our depth of wingers in the top 6, I would probably move Kessel for that 1st overall pick.

    Also gives room to sign Perry.

    Morning Gents.

    Sundin, What a class act. Can’t say enough good about the man. And how I wish that he, Tucker and Roberts played in a finals series. And his 500th goal was the highlight of his career.

    The only guy I can think of is Tavares. But I think Sundin is more of a horse. Just imaging Loops and Stumpy on the wings with Sundin.

    If you ask me the best comparable for Sundin in the league right now is Mikko Koivu.  

    But you could put up a strong argument for Kopitar and even Malkin.

    Sundin skates over the blueline finds a speeding Kessel coming off the wing…………Kessel Scores !!  (can just hear Joe Bowen calling that goal)

    I have to say that Mats artistic rendition is a little off, he looks more like Wade Belak.

    Looks like Bboy is taking the CBA to heart!

    Smarten up BB!!!  I say some hard negotiation this week and a deal gets done!!!

    Like bob said they will go at it hard this week!  The PA has to much to lose if Bettsy pulls the plug.  (the whole season with no pay)  I figure Bettman has all ready got a drop dead date in mind with the owners backing.   

    Bottom line:  It,s in Dony,s court how he wants this to end!  The NHL holds the trump card now!   Either get a deal done or No season!  The pr game is gone as neither one has credibility. The urgency to get the season started is fast disappearing.   Of course the wild card is Fehr!   Does he care more about a season or his mangy reputation!

    I give it 10 to 14 days to play out!

    My bias makes me believe this to be true. So i’ll wait to comment on it.

    Anybody watch the oldtimers game last night? Tiger and Dougie look like they could still play, and Salming, at 63 years old looked great!

    Less optimistic. Unless what Spector says is true. Then it could be out a year. Bettman is being shown as a small minded individual with a personal agenda. I’ll stop before I go into full rant mode.

    Betman is no longer proving a business point. that has been conceded, now he’s just grandstanding for his own ego. 

    Why didin’t somebody take him out last night when he was here in Toronto.
