One of those players whom it hurts you to know they didn't get to hoist the cup. Growing up a Canucks fan I never liked the Leafs, but I still loved Sundin. Having him play on the Canucks even for a short stint was still such a special thing. Everyone who was part of the Canucks team that year has said that even in that short time he had an immeasurably positive affect on all the players around him, and it showed in the next season.
Greatest leaf of all time.. hands down just watch his highlights and youll know or if your old enough like me you watched him play live and truely saw his greatness
Leafs fan here. Im 45 and been obsessed with the blue and white since 3. A Stanley Cup would be more fulfilling than a $10 million lottery win. Please. Just 1. Please-
He took a lot of crap from Leaf fans who questioned his captaincy but now looking back you realize how amazing he actually was playing on a lot of bad leaf teams.
would be insane to watch :;D. For me seeing lidas foppa and sundin lose something together wouldnt be real world but the canadian names you brought would actually have a chance to make it true :(
Yes. Yes it is. Med vänlig hälsning, Sthlm (nej men jag tänker att de bidrog med väldigt olika saker, Mats hade en viktig ledarroll som Foppa aldrig axlat på samma sätt)
Overall, I think Forsberg was the better player. I think Mats was a better leader and had better size, they were about equal defensively, and Forsberg was a better offensive player. Forsberg winning Cups and individual awards puts him over Sundin's team accomplishments. I'm a Leafs fan from Canada.
@@Lawomenshoops Not as GOAT. More as a godfather of hockey. But he never won any olympic golds or any Stanley Cups. Forsberg won 2 of each. Sundin "only" 2 olympics.
@@Iae86 hello! They didn’t allow pros in the Olympics back then. The cup is a team accomplishment. Forsberg was lucky to play on a great team that won the cup. Borje could do everything! Skate, pass, score, goals, defend, and handle the rough stuff.
1994 i started watching hockey 1 name stood out Mats Sundin thw skill the smile the man leafs were better with him #13 will always be shit now any team will #13 will never compare No C on a leafs jersey will ever compare #13 Mats Sundin Leafs forever the true capt
What bothers me, is that there are so many great people that meant so much more to others, but never get into any hall of fame, let alone get a huge paycheck.
Sundin, Forsberg, Lindstrom all wouldn’t be here without Borje! Borje is still the greatest Swede to play in the NHL!
Legend. I wish he could have won a cup so badly. He deserved it. Pure class
One of the best players ever. So many Fantastic memories thanks to you🙏
Well deserved, born to be a captain, the best center raised in Sweden and a real viking!
Thanks for all the years, Mats! I'll never forget, the first player who's name I remembered watching hockey as a 10 year old kid: Mats Sundin.
Matt sundeen, thats the guy.
From a Habs fan, well deserved. Congrats Mats, from Montreal.
youre a class act thank you from Toronto
I love you, Mats!
Huge talent, class act.
Leafs fan now in Vancouver.
Thanks for all unforgettable memories Mats❤️
Ten years on Mats Sundin welcomed Daniel Alfredsson to the Hockey Hall of Fame! So deserved! Swedish legends!

Loved the way you played the game, thanks Mats.

I’m in my 70’s…been to 4 Leafs cup parades….still waiting!
this guy is just amazing! such a humble man, and a inspiration for everybody. Proud to be swed!
Most talented Leaf ever.
sundin is tremendous.
Thanks Mr Sundin
Man I was great. Thanks to hockey and all you fans. Love u

Finally someone understands
Highest paid player, team Captain has to get it done no matter the circumstance. He couldn't deliver, no excuses....
@@mikemyros7974 he won every other major award including Olympic gold.
@@mikemyros7974 Hard to get it done with shitty teammates.
@@mikemyros7974 couldn't agree more with your statement, and for the people who want to spin everything and make excuses ,, "The Truth Hurts"
The best captain ever.
Pat Quinn thinking at 7:38, 'If Burke doesn't stop chewin' in my ear, I'm gonna knock him out like Orr'.
Classy move alfy
10:25 The look on some ppls face looks... speechless.
quinn was such a beaut. what a stud
A Legend!
oh captain my captain
Mats is the best Leaf in modern history. Better than Clark, Gilmore, Sittler or anyone!
Lidstrom - Salming
Forsberg - Sundin - Näslund
Vs
Blake - Orr
Crosby - Lemieux - Sakic
would be insane to watch :;D. For me seeing lidas foppa and sundin lose something together wouldnt be real world but the canadian names you brought would actually have a chance to make it true :(
last great maple leaf
I'm a huge fan of Sundin.
It looks like they're going to become good again now... finally.
Matthews may become the next Sundin.
@@paulgrewal2746 he's on a good track
greatest player ever.
Yes I am
I think most Swedes see Forsberg as the GOAT with Sudden as number two. At least for us over 30. Or is it just cos I am a MoDo fan?
Yes. Yes it is. Med vänlig hälsning, Sthlm (nej men jag tänker att de bidrog med väldigt olika saker, Mats hade en viktig ledarroll som Foppa aldrig axlat på samma sätt)

6:09 - Curtis Joseph & His playmate wife Stephanie Glasson

Lest we forget the Chunky Soup commercial.... 😮
They saved the BEST FOR LAST GO LEAFS GO :D
Shiny happy people
goat
MATTS YOUR MOMMY'S CALLING....
Curtis Joseph wife is facking gorgeous wow...lol
Sundin is bigger in Canada than at home in Sweden,, We need to change that:.
mats sundin and alfredsson are friends
💛💙💛💙
I wish he mentioned belak in his speech but great speech nonetheless
New Leaf era = Matthews, Nylander, Marner.
The Fozzy Bear Now Tavares
Just like Sundin, 3 more highly skilled offensive stars that can't deliver in the playoffs. If you're satisfied with that. I'm not
We miss ya mats go leafs
5:15 THUG LIFE
tillinternet lool
Imagine what he'd get paid nowadays.
GO LEAF GO
is that cujo's wife? 👀
7 40... Brian Burke is chewing gum and Quinn isn't!!!
The amount of gum chewing in this video is too damn high.
Playing on some of the shitiest team in the nhl his whole career and still averaged a point a game.......HOF no doubt.
Played a soft game, highest paid player, captain, high ice-time. His numbers ought to be good....
1994 i started watching hockey 1 name stood out Mats Sundin thw skill the smile the man leafs were better with him
#13 will always be shit now any team will #13 will never compare
No C on a leafs jersey will ever compare
#13 Mats Sundin

Very over rated player. VERY

Proably because you know more about ping pong than hockey 😀
What bothers me, is that there are so many great people that meant so much more to others, but never get into any hall of fame, let alone get a huge paycheck.
