Season Ends for Leafs Captain Mats Sundin

by Jeanne on April 2nd, 2008

Toronto Maple Leafs captain, Mats Sundin, will not be playing in the team’s last two two games of this season.  It’s almost merciful when you look at how bad things have been for this hockey club.  Sundin suffered a groin tear

Sundin, 37, has stated that he hasn’t made any decision on his future but has repeatedly said that he intends to retire as a member of the Maple Leafs.

Toronto interim GM Cliff Fletcher has echoed those sentiments, saying that he hopes to bring Sundin back for another season.

Sundin, who has been with the Maple Leafs since 1994, had one of his better seasons with the team — scoring 32 goals and adding 78 points in 74 games.

Well, after all the history, I can understand why Sundin wants to finish his career in Toronto but if I were a younger player, I’d probably want to get the hell out of there.  Not to be mean but maybe the Leafs will be a whole new team when he retires.  That’s nothing against Sundin - sometimes things just need to be freshened up.  Know what I mean?
