Something to celebrate as a Maple Leafs fan

Yes, I know my team has not won the Stanley Cup since 1967, but last night's game deserves a big cheer to Captain Mats Sundin. Mats' 12 years in Toronto have certainly been up and down, from no shows in the playoffs, to conference finals, from injury riddled teams, to playing with Leaf greats like Doug Gilmour, Wendel Clark, and Felix Potvin. Mats has shown great leadership, perseverence, and certainly talent with all the class in the world.

In last nights 8-1 route of the New York Islanders, Mats was deserving of becoming the all-time points leader and all-time goal leader in Maple Leaf history. Scoring his 390th goal, and earning his 917th point, which ranks fourth in NHL history. I beleive hockey fans, and certainly Leafs fans are proud of this moment, and grateful for Mats time in Toronto. Now it's time to end the Cup draught. Cheers!
