Il y a environ 6 000 kilomètres entre la Suède et le Canada, et cette saison, 67 Suédois différents ont participé à au moins un match de la LNH. Il est clair que les Maple Leafs de Toronto ne sont pas la seule équipe de la LNH à avoir accueilli des joueurs suédois, mais l’impact que les Suédois ont eu sur cette franchise au cours des 40 dernières années est indéniable. Il y a une vie entre le moment où Borje Salming a commencé sa carrière avec les Maple Leafs et le moment où William Nylander commence la sienne. Salming a pris contact pour la première fois avec les Leafs dans un vestiaire lors d’un match en Suède. Nylander a d’abord revêtu la Feuille d’érable sur une grande scène devant un public de télévision nationale en tant que 5e choix au total. Entre eux, il y avait aussi un très bon joueur nommé Mats.

A kind and humle man looking like a real Rawskinn.
A true legend and what makes hockey so special.
Keep fighting Börje💪💪💪
This was a great piece!
How didn’t he win a Norris ? Oh because they hated Europeans
St.. salming
At the beginning, Forsberg, Sundin, and Salming. Wow, am I proud to be Swedish!
@1:07 I didn't know Jean-Claude Van Damme played for The Leafs😁
Salming once ripped some tape off his stick and tossed it over the boards. No one paid it any mind but I left my seat and ran down 5 rows to grab it.
08:20 💙💛💙💛💙🥅🏒 We LOVE you, Börje!
hi from a swede. Just found out today that he has passed away 😭
RIP Borje. Even during some of the Leafs' darkest years, Salming made the games worth watching. He embodied everything that Leafs Nation hoped for from every player donning the jersey.
Börje Salming 🫶🏼🇸🇪🇨🇦
Miss y’a Sundin!! 🇸🇪🇨🇦
I miss you allreadey😢
RIP to the King
I can't stop the tears…he will always be the man
Tack för allt Börje ❤️
Rest in peace Salming
the original King of the North
90
Make Börje proud!
Miss you, Börje! Rest easy now. A legend through the ages. Will never fade.
Long live The King 👑
#21 forever in our hearts
My hero. So humble. Will try to stay quiet for 21 seconds after my morning skates. Props to the greatest Maple leaf I've ever saw and experienced playing.
As if reinforced tensile steel was made into a hockey player! My hero RIP – The best defense man in Leaf's history
Been my hero since he came to Toronto in 73'. Rest in peace my gentle Giant. #21 – the greatest player I have ever seen.
My dad came to this country in the 60's and only started watching hockey because Borje signed for the leafs.Then he got season tickets. RIP King 🤴
Love this man,Börje!❤🇸🇪
Went down a rabbit hole tonight. On this night, where Nylander just got 2 goals on a Saturday night for a 3rd win in a row. By all reports, Willy is getting closer to signing an 8 year extension any day now, while putting together a career year, in his 9th season as a leaf.
The foreshadowing in this video and the timing in which I found it is incredible. Go Sweden, Go Willy, Go Leafs.
One of the greatest hockey players of all time. Sadly he got a terrible illness. R I P King.
Borje certanly was and will always be "The King" of Maple Leafs and the world.
