Mats Sundin

I'm sure once my career's over, when I look back when I'm older, I can maybe appreciate it a little bit more.

And when things are not going well in Toronto, you're going to hear about it. And you're going to say things are not good at all, where it's really not that bad.

I think people want success, you know, and I'm the captain.

I always thought Ray Bourque was a great competitor.

I've been around racing a fairly long time, but when it comes to the important issues, I'm happy to let others make the big decisions.

Seeing someone else perform and letting me be the critic for once... that's not a bad thing.

Any chance you have to sit back and be the one watching is great.

It's all trotters in Sweden, so that's what's always caught my eye.

When I was young, I would go to the races and it was an unbelievable feeling when you'd watch them race.

Everybody is excited to play so I think who plays with whom is a minor thing at this point.

I'm 31 years old and I want to be part of a championship team before my career is over.

With the fans and the Toronto Maple Leafs organization, the way I've been treated here has been awesome.

Since I came here I've been treated awesome, in all aspects. I really enjoy playing here.

I put a lot of pressure on myself, more than anyone else.

I think you're a little more fragile when you're younger.

At this level, you put a lot of pressure on yourself as a player to perform and do well.

My job is to make sure we keep performing.

Players come and go, good friends, players who performed well. You can't control that.

It was hard to watch, the business side is so big in the game.
