Adam Kirshenblatt: What Could Have Been: Mats Sundin's Legacy

The one thing I get a lot of weird looks for is the fact that I consider myself a Sabres and a Leafs fan.

there is no player I loved watching more then Mats Sundin. the guy was a complete player in every sense of the word. Hes an absolute 1st ballot HOF'er

No one cares

I loved Sundin as well, to an extent, as he was never the Clark or Gilmour type, but was a great leader none the less.

Although, I am on the fence as if he should be a HHOFer. I wonder if it is our love for the guy that makes us say yes...

Take a look at his stats. He never broke 50 goals, hit 100 points once, never won a cup, and never won a scoring race.

His 1300 + points are great numbers, but I feel a HHOFer should really stand out, or within 15 years, it'll be so crowded, and watered down. Because he is a Swede, and ranks near the top based on his nationality, I give him props for sure...

I just wonder if he was a San Jose Shark with these numbers, if we would all say he deserved to be voted in...

All respect to Sundin. Class act, and great captain. Just unsure if he should realistically be in the HOF.

Forever a Canuck.

Forever a Canuck.

You are talking about Luongo and his 26 year contract right?

Hope your banned.

How would he get banned for this?

He called him a cigarette.
Least that is how I took it.

You are the only one who made it more than that..

Ummm 24 year! (Sheesh, get it right! --- The sting of this contract at 5.3 million a year is FANTASTIC in the light of what Philly did with Briz. Makes any Luongo contract joke kinda fizzle.)

Mats is a HHOF. Why would you even question that?

That is like saying Columbus is laughing all the way to the bank with the CArter contract based on how well Gomez has worked out in MTL.

If you have to look to another team to make yourself feel better about the state of your own silly signiing, then that is only masking the problem.

I like Luongo, just not at the cost of a 52 year contract.

Like you said, forever a Canuck

What the hell is wrong with you? Look at his numbers?

Still, your point is lost on everyone.

He called him a cigarette.

Based on the fact that fag has more than one meaning, you can't presume it was meant as a homosexual slur.

Look at his numbers when he doesn't have another legit number one starter pushing him into playing well to keep his job.

I bet when C.S. gets traded, Luongo will falter..

I may also be wrong pal.

No denying he is a good goalie. But at that length, that cap hit will haunt that team down the road.

Explain your provisos and grammatical moral exceptions to someone who believes you. Maybe Google Brendan Burke.


Didn't mean to enter into this fray.

I reported the posts. People do things like that.

Thats about it. And Sundin chose to end his career with Vancouver and (A) you hate that (B) think of what you could have gotten for him in trade and how you blame him for an entire season of rebuilding and (C) how Canuck fans didn;t care if he were here or not.

You reported the post. I find that pathetic honestly. But to each their own. The report button is available, and you have every right to do so.
I am not sure what makes you think you know me. I don't hate Sundin retired a Canuck one bit. I don't care he didn't waive his NTC. I, in fact, found it a slap in the face that the face of this franchise was asked to waive something he had earned.

And if he does HOF it up,everyone knows it will be in a Leaf jersey.

The last bit of your post is a clear indication you were trying to get a rise out of me. You've got the wrong guy here if you are looking for a pissing match.

And I stand by supporting the guy who used the picture. The term you reported has several meanings, and seeing as you can not pinpoint what he was implying, you can not fairly suggest he should be banned.

His legacy should have been winning his first cup in Vancouver, but noooo......the bum had to go and take 6 months off before joining a new team.

Nice one Mats

Ah, you sir are a funny one.

To think I didn't like you at first.

You ain't so bad after all. Pretty funny at times, although this sick obsession for the Canucks bothers me a tad.

I am proud to say that I stand up against hate speech.

To say that, in this forum, in this context, that was not intended as hate speech is purile.

All Luongo/Sundin jokes aside...

And you are correct, I do not know you. Let's Tebow this moment.

Fair enough. We will agree to agree on that sir.

I could never turn my back on a Tebow moment.

I heard this last year..

It's like screaming at your wife in public then saying it'll never happen again..

Sooner than later, she will stop believing you!
