Today our beloved hockey legend Börje Salming passed away, at the age of 71. He got diagnosed with ALS in August of this year and today it tog him away 😞
I'm not as much of an ice hockey fan as my father is, but I do know from having watched an old sports blooper video on VHS, that in one game, Salming, got a puck lodged in his skate.
He was a great defenseman. I saw the ceremony in Toronto honoring him with Sittler, Sundin and MacDonald recently....very emotional. He started it all for the Swedes in the NHL. RIP Borje
