It's Hall of Fame night in Toronto, and among the special guests that will be on hand at Scotiabank Arena will include the likes of Roberto Luongo, Riikka Sallinen, Herb Carnegie (Builder), Al Morganti (Elmer Ferguson Award), Bill Clement (Foster Hewitt Award), Swedish twins Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, and Daniel Alfredsson.
However, the most special guest of the night will be none other than former Maple Leafs legend Börje Salming, who is currently battling ALS and has tragically lost the ability to take care of his many basic day to day needs.
For Swedish defenseman Rasmus Sandin, Salming was an idol of his growing up. He got to experience something extremely special not long ago, as Salming took him out to eat in Stockholm.
And according to Sandin, Salming had a pretty priceless bit of advice for him:
