Wednesday, August 18, 2010   Hey everybody! It's been a really
long time since my last post, so apologies to my friends and to
anybody out there I might've let down. This is all a little
strange and new to me again and so since I'm feeling kind of
rusty, I thought I'd break the ice with a bit of nostalgia for
one of the greatest Maple Leafs ever. For an even better read on
Borje Salming, go here.  Salming was one of the best in the game
at both ends of the ice, but was also a distinctly honourable
gentleman throughout his career. In an era that saw bitter ends
to the Maple Leaf careers of Vaive, Sittler, and Keon, Salming
was the embodiment of loyalty, representing the Blue and White
extremely well, particularly through some very dark seasons. He
was pure class, and remains one of my favourite players of all-
time.  Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1996. The first
European player to play in 1,000 NHL games. Third most games
played in a Maple Leafs uniform(1,099). Highest scoring Maple
Leafs defenceman
