Mats Sundin Hangs Em Up
Probably something we all anticipated but now it's official. I heard him doing a press conference on The Fan in Swedish but nothing in English. Here's the breaking news via Darren Dreger's twitter.

there’s an article at the star’s website. Seems official
Brain: The irony of it all, Pinky. Years of trying to take over the world, and all I had to do was say "truculence".

The guy in the white shirt doesn’t seem to be having much fun.

Not going to bother looking up the game, it was two seasons ago and the Leafs dumped on the Rangers. After the second period MSG was a ghost town – the only people left were the 5,000 or so Leafs fans in attendance. We chanted “GO LEAFS GO” non stop until the game ended. <3

Hats off.
One of the greatest players and classiest guys in the game. We were lucky to have him. Thanks, Mats.
Very glad he’s doing this now and not letting it drag on into the season.
Go do whatever it is that makes you happy these days, Mats.

I’ve seen her. I’d poker too.

It’s unfortunate things ended so bizarrely between Mats and the Leafs.
In any case, thanks for the memories Mats.

I know the Leafs don’t really retire numbers but they really should and they should start it with Mats.

Bah, Im glad they don’t retire numbers, and instead Honour the numbers and the players. I don’t want to end up with the Habs and have some ridiculous number of Jerseys unavailable.
Most new players wouldn’t touch the great numbers anyways. Even though technically they aren’t retired I doubt you would see someone wear 93, 17 or 13 again anytime soon
Life as a Toronto Sports Fan?... *sigh*... It is what it is...
But you do have players wearing 1, 7, 14, etc that does the number no justice.
Johnny Bower and Raycroft both wore #1 for the Leafs. That makes me sad.

that's two quite distinctive hockey icons
hanging it up in the same week, Mats Sundin and Jason Allison Theo Fleury. While Matty Sunbeam may in fact be just getting around to announcing his retirement at the end of last season, I wouldn’t be so sure about Fleury yet. Rumours out of Montreal are that Gainey’s Canadiens may have contacted Fleury’s agent. Apparently the Canadiens are thinking of bulking up.

I'm gonna get it for this one
I’m happy for the guy and he was my favourite player, but this would have meant A LOT more had he done this last year at this time

Never again will we see him lace em up for the Buds
