Salming was one of the first Swedish players ever to play in the NHL and he made a huge impact as a pathfinder for other Swedish (and other European) players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Statement from Maple Leafs President and Alternate Governor Brendan Shanahan on the passing of B\u00f6rje Salming: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zguKOyVLmM\">pic.twitter.com\/zguKOyVLmM<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MapleLeafs\/status\/1595838350464016385?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 24, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1973 Salming signed with the Maple Leafs as a free agent. By the time his career was finished, he had suited up with the Blue and White over the course of 16 NHL seasons. [He played a single season with the Detroit Red Wings.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Salming Was a Great Maple Leafs Player<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Salming was one of the greatest Maple Leafs&#8217; players of all time. He was a First Team NHL All-Star and five-time Second Team All-Star. He played a total of 1,148 NHL games with both Toronto and Detroit. And, he scored 150 goals and added 637 assists (for 787 points).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Borje-Salming.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Borje-Salming.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Borje-Salming-214x300.jpeg 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Borje Salming, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salming now ranks third all-time in Maple Leafs&#8217; games played with 1,099. He remains the team&#8217;s all-time leader in assists with 620 and he ranks fourth in career points behind Mats Sundin, Darryl Sittler, and Dave Keon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1996, Salming was the first Swedish player ever inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. He was also chosen as one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in history for the league\u2019s centennial in 2017. His number &#8220;21&#8221; now can be seen by all Maple Leafs fans (it was lifted to the rafters in 2006). No one else will ever wear it again after it was officially retired  in 2016. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/index.php\/2022\/11\/23\/maple-leafs-nick-robertson-hates-being-scratched\/\">MAPLE LEAFS ROBERTSON HATES BEING SCRATCHED BUT LIKES THE PAY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-part-one-borje-salming-saluted-before-the-game\">The Timing of Salming&#8217;s Tribute Was (Sadly) Perfect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just less than two weeks ago on November 11, Salming travelled to Scotiabank Arena for a tribute during Hall of Fame weekend. The team lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins that night 4-2, but the game came in second to the human spirit and love witnessed by Salming&#8217;s former teammates and current Maple Leafs\u2019 players who gathered to celebrate his life and career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At his introduction, he was honoured by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/news\/daniel-sedins-shift-in-position-mindset-led-to-hockey-hall-of-fame\/c-337426474\">three other Swedish players<\/a>\u00a0(Daniel Alfredsson, Daniel Sedin, and\u00a0Henrik Sedin) who were also being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Salming was steadied by former Toronto stars Darryl Sittler and Mats Sundin. Sittler, who was unable to stop crying, raised Salming\u2019s arm to wave to the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"747\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/borje-salming-2-747x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/borje-salming-2-747x1024.jpeg 747w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/borje-salming-2-219x300.jpeg 219w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/borje-salming-2-768x1053.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/borje-salming-2.jpeg 812w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Borje Salming, Maple Leafs Great<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ovation Salming received was both long and extremely emotional.
