Miguel Sanchez Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Until Doddie Weir died on Saturday I was planning on posting about one of my planned picks for next year who died last week, Borje Salming: Maple Leafs legend Borje Salming dies, was living with ALS (espn.co.uk) He was one of the first European players to play in the NHL at a time when everyone from outwith Canada was assumed to be a big soft floater who didn't care. One of the most famous hockey pictures is this one, after a skate to the face and 250 stiches: He was diagnosed with MND (or ALS as the Americans call it) and although at 71 his quicker decline was probably to be expected, it was still shocking to see. At a Toronto game a few weeks ago on the weekend of this year's Hockey Hall of Fame inductions they had a pre-game ceremony where you could see the effect it was having on him: 55 points and a probably Solo Shot bonus lost. It's still not a way I'd like to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I know she would be disqualified under the Phil Taylor's mother rule, but I was amazed to discover that Pele's mum is still alive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
