I wish I could see a team of Borje clones. Plus maybe a goalie. Although maybe not.
Without a doubt, Borje was the best Leafs defenseman of all time.
He’s our hero as well. Rest now Borje.
❤️
What an extraordinary man he was. Both on and off ice. A true giant. I grew up a Wings fan but always was riveted watching him play.
My favourite!
When I was a kid my Dad took me to a game at MLG so I could see Salming but he didn’t play that day. 😭
I play ringette not hockey, but my jersey number is 21.
Borje, Mats, Willy. I sure do love me some Swedes in blue and white
I was at his first game. He and Inge Hammarstrom were the first Europeans to play for the Leafs.
Ballard hated the idea but loved how cheap they were initially.
In Swedish but translated into English
Börje Salming still holds six club records for the Toronto Maple Leafs, despite leaving the team in 1989. The records are: most assists by any player, most points by a defenseman, most goals by a defenseman, most assists by a defenseman, most assists in a single season by a defenseman, and best plus-minus rating of all players.

They need to bring those jerseys back

They don’t make em like Borje, anymore .
Great player set the standard for Swedish players
I hate the old Ballard logo, but these jerseys were so sick.
