Leafs captain getting married
Mats Sundin picks up his chopsticks and flashes a thick gold band on his left ring finger. "You're married ?" an astonished luncheon companion blurts out. No, no, assures the Maple Leaf captain -- assuming he is still a Maple Leaf and still the captain, which may be merely a technicality at this point, everything in off-season, unsigned flux. "I'm engaged. This is Swedish custom, to wear an engagement ring on the left hand." Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. Sundin says he proposed to his Swedish girlfriend of a year or so, Josie Johansson, during the all-star break in February, whilst on mini vacation in St. Thomas. Claims he's been wearing the ring ever since but nobody noticed. And that, too, is difficult to believe.

Is this a Toronto Star story or the National Enquirer? Shouldn't a "legitimate" paper have better things to report on than garbage gossip about a person's private life? I'm glad I don't read that paper anymore, because the more I see it now, the more I realize that it is just Canada's lower budget People Magazine

Boy, this guy is becoming more and more of a B.S.eras he gets older. Like no-one would notice a ring on his finger for a year. In Toronto? Please. People would notice if he had a hair out of place (if he had any hair). It sounds like Sundin is preparing himself for a front office job at MLSE, where we all know the motto: "Bu//$h!t Baffles Brains."

Mats Sundin picks up his chopsticks and flashes a thick gold band on his left ring finger.
"You're married?" an astonished luncheon companion blurts out. No, no, assures the Maple Leaf captain "You see, I had to wear this ring to keep people believing I had a reason to stay in Toronto"
"Oh, well couldn't you just say you like it here? Or that you don't really mind not winning a cup, or that T.O has the best strip joints?" His astonished companion asks.
"Well yes, I suppose I could, but they wouldn't believe that. I'm thinking of something more believable, like, I want to stay here to help the Leafs win a Cup...yeah that'll work" A wide grin slowly creeps over Mats' face.
"But what about this broad your seeing, Josie or something?" His friend continues.
"Nah, that's just Jiri Tlusty in disguise"

Wow there is a Sundin story for everyday of the week...Matt takes batting practice with the Blue Jays and now he is getting married. Give me a break! Lets not talk about Sundin unless it involves contracts and franchises! The guy should already be married, he is almost forty!

It is a Swedish custom. True story... I'm a Swede myself so I would know.

No wonder he refused and refused to get traded anywhere. He had secret wedding chapels plans as well as playing for the Blue Jays.
I see how things go in Toronto, when the 29 other teams are actually focused on winning the Cup...

What I heard was that he promised her his heart, but she had to think about it for a while because she's seen him play hockey and wasn't so sure he was promising her all that much!

Actually Gocan...I heard that she was only prepared to offer him a one year contract...with a no-trade clause.
