Happy Birthday Salming

Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae if she is checking in.

Former Maple Leafs great Borje Salming celebrates his 57th birthday today - while Willie O'Rea is acknowledged as the NHL's first player of African descent, Salming pretty much blazed the way for European players to make it in the NHL. He was the first European to spend any length of time, never mind excel, in the NHL - players like Mats Sundin, Peter Forsberg, and Nik Lidstorm all mention Salming as one of their role models and someone they admire.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAMP - I might just have to put on my Salming Jersey today.

In other news - THE TARDS GOT BOUNCED!!!!!

That's it for this morning - back later with more on the Tards and the Three Play.

Hazel, here's hoping things are groovy in your world.

I'm Out!
