On Thursday 24th November the Toronto Maple Leafs, and indeed all of professional hockey and the NHL, lost a true legend and pioneer of the game as former defenceman Börje Salming sadly passed away at the age of 71 after a short battle with ALS.Salming's passing came less than two weeks after the Hall of Famer was honoured during a truly memorable and emotional Hall of Fame weekend, where he saw just how much he was beloved by Leafs fans and he was able to stand alongside former teammates Darryl Sittler and Lanny McDonald as well as fellow countryman Mats Sundin.
