1. Mr. Mats Sundin: He's Earned His Decision.

    I've hesitated more than once when considering talking about Mats. As a loyal Leaf fan, I've watched as he carried the team on his shoulders for over 10 seasons; yet I've had to consider a future without him...

  8. Toronto Maple Leafs: Dismally Loyal
