Grew up with Mats as my Cap. I appreciated everything he did, except for one moment... and that one moment was not allowing us to trade him to try to improve the team, because he didn't want to be a "rented player", which is pretty much what happened. That said... Thanks, Mats Sundin, thanks for everything.
@@T-bone9 I get why you say that, but, they didn’t have the depth, the only real player of any note was my favourite goalie, Cujo. In my opinion, the reason why they couldn’t get it done is because the team behind Mats and in front of Cujo wasn’t up to the same standard.
@@T-bone9 Yes that’s true but one man or even two men don’t make a team. So Cujo and Mats could only do so much before you have to say “come on guys, back ‘em up!!” Which is what was always saying back in the day. The only player to come close to Mats’ stats since him is Auston, so what does that mean?? And, the only player to beat Cujo’s stats is Jack, the season just gone!! So, I mean no-one has come close in the “in between” years. No-one!!
He’d have the same take. Veteran players seem to know that playoff failures are a common thing at a young age and also recognize their talent, despite the playoff failures. Vets still sign here despite the first round streak
The Captain! My favorite hockey player of all time!
That goal he scored for the Canucks against the leafs was pure gold
My all time favorite, tied with Lidström. Mats is such a class act and was just an amazing player
Captain Mats! Still my all time favorite player!
My childhood hero right here :) Sundin, Gilmore, Anderchuck, Gartner, Potvin, Clark,,, ah the 90s ..what a group.
….Gary Roberts
My absolute hero after the next ght he scored his 500th
As a Habs fan this is the only Leaf who commanded respect in recent memory
you didn/t like Ken Baumgartner?
How can you not love this guy.
Suggestion: can you put the OG date of the interview in the description? Thanks!! :)
My sleuthing suggests in was June 2018, based off this Dangle video from June 12th. ruclips.net/video/Ld9KF3LRl_k/видео.html

@@mattgregersen lol no worries!!

My all time favourite Leaf right there!! Just a shame that we didn’t have the team to back him up. Thank you guys!!
they did have the team, they just couldn't get it done

@@johnbowden811 well, I thought Cujo could've played better, buffalo stole that series because of Hasek, goalies are always the difference

For just a quick second there, I thought Steve was Kyle Dubas...my brain did a double take.
Same here
My favorite Leaf of all time!! Great to see you Mats 😀!!!
Classic and just awesome :)
Fun, still got my sundin sweater
I was at the same elevator around when he first got drafted he was a skinny shy looking kid with pimples.
God I miss #13! How much would this group of Leaf players learn and grow under his leadership?! Sigh....
to me Mats Sundin was the GLOAT
It will soon be the new Mats (AM34)
For everyone asking how long ago this was it was around 2017
I swear that was Dubas in the picture of the video!
It would have been interesting to get Mats take on the yet ANOTHER recent Maple Leafs collapse in the playoffs.
Why?

How long ago was the interview?
2018.
The bald GOAT.
What what! 3 cool guys and a virgin on the end. 😎😎😎🤓
Mr clean mats sundin
Look at the mits on that guy
Nice interview. He should have gotten a team friendly hometown discount contract of 7 years 11 million per year... Book it!
Book what?
@@JeffONeillOverdrive they should have booked Sundin on the team friendly hometown discount contract of 7 years 11 million per year!!! Book it!!!
First lol I’ve never had this opportunity
