The Leafs might have had a slow start to the first, but they absolutely crushed the pregame with a tear-jerking tribute to one of the organization’s legends, Borje Salming.
In addition to the beautiful video tribute, the Leafs started an entirely Swedish starting lineup and had William Nylander take the ceremonial faceoff against fellow Swede, Oliver Ekman-Larsson.
The tribute moved Salming (and many others) to tears and will live on a special night in Toronto sports history.
