RIP Borje Salming. One of the toughest to ever play the game and opened the door for Europeans to play in the NHL.

Such a sad day but happy you got to experience all the love you deserve from the fans last few weeks.

Gone but never forgotten.

“Always have fun and never give up”.

Börje Salming’s importance to scores of players and managers has been enormous.

Swedish sports are sad.

All thoughts to the family.
May they forever feel the warmth, respect and love from Toronto and hockey Canada and from all of Sweden.
