Hockey Hall of Famer Mats Sundin joins Jeff Marek to reflect on a historic moment in Toronto Maple Leafs history, as Auston Matthews surpasses Sundin to become the franchise’s all-time leading goal scorer. Sundin shares his immediate reaction to the record being broken, why records are meant to fall, and what Matthews’ achievement means in the context of different NHL eras.

The conversation expands into leadership and captaincy in Toronto, Sundin’s experiences handling pressure in hockey’s toughest market, and why Matthews has earned the respect of the room. Sundin also discusses the importance of teammates like Mitch Marner, underrated linemates from his own career, and the evolution of goal scoring, equipment, and offensive play in today’s NHL.

Sundin reflects on Swedish hockey’s global impact, the next generation of elite Swedish talent, and the defenders and goaltenders who were the toughest matchups of his career. The interview closes with a memorable story about where Sundin was when he learned he’d been traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, a moment that forever changed franchise history.
