20 SECOND TIME OUT

Toronto Maple Leafs Captain Mats Sudin refused to waive his no-trade clause yesterday after a meeting with Leafs GM Cliff Fletcher. He stated, "I have always believed I would finish my career as a Toronto Maple Leaf." Sudin is now 37 and has spent the last thirteen seasons with the Leafs. He went on to state, "I cannot leave my teammates and join another NHL club at this time." For those of you that are not hockey fans the Maple Leafs are about to make history by not qualifying for the playoffs for the third year in a row. The Leafs have always been a top team and they were one on the "Original 6". This story made me smile, It is rare these days that athletes stand by their teams until the end!
