Mats Sundin is a Canuck today. Well, he was one yesterday actually, but today the whole city knows it.
Walking out of The Old Spaghetti factory last night with my mum and Andy we were passed by a trio of drunk men. Their conversation went something like this:
Man 1: "SUNDIN woo, woo...WOO WOO!"
Man 2: "He's drunk, ignore him"
Man 1: "SUNDIN WOO...WOO WOO!"
Half a block later my mum slipped on some ice and made the same "woo woo" noise. We laughed.
I have to say I'm glad, relieved even but I also have to say that I wouldn't have been too disappointed if it had gone the other way, if Mats Sunday was a New York Ranger today. Do I believe that one man can make a difference on a hockey team? Yes. Am I convinced that man is Sundin? Not yet.
I'd be a fool not to believe that he can be a factor, especially only two days after retiring Linden's number up to the rafters. Linden proves it after all, and he proved it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final in '94.
With 50 games left to play in the season, I'm just excited to see what happens.
Sundin to Sedin to Sedin and in? I certainly I hope so...
