I remember seeing a picture of him back in the 80s after somebody used his skate to slice his face from cheek to cheek. Lots of stitches. RIP.

I've been sorry, to hear, see, and read this.  When Borje played sixteen seasons for the Toronto Maple Leafs, he gave it his all, and was a great defenceman, who played the game.  I'm glad, I've been around to watch him play.  It's sad what damage Amyotrophic Lateral Scierosis can do.  He will be missed, and remembered.  My condolences, and sympathies to his family, and friends.  R.I.P., Borje.
