"Thanks for nothing Mats". WHATT?! I saw this yesterday right after Berger broke the news of Sundin's decision to not waive his NTC.
Are you kidding me? You know what, no, obviously you aren't. You pathetic excuses for Lea-- no, hockey fans. How DARE you disrespect such a legacy like that of Mats Sundin. Seriously how about this.
Thank you Mats for your hard-work and dedication to this franchise.
Thank you Mats for sticking with this team through thick and thin.
Thank you Mats for dawning the blue and white for 13 (hopefully more) years.
Thank you Mats for representing those colours 9 times at the NHL All-Star game.
