BAD NEWS, LEAFS FANS: MATS SUNDIN AND YOUR GRANDMA MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON

Sun Media's Steve Simmons appears to have the exclusive: Leafs captain Mats Sundin apparently needs hip surgery. This is a real blow to the Leafs, who in the past were known to indicate that they wouldn't mind keeping a player in the lineup well beyond his 65th birthday.

Oh, and this is terrible for Mats Sundin, whose window for winning a long-sought Stanley Cup was small enough before this bit of news.

Simmons (link via the indispensable Mirtle) notes that Sundin's condition might be osteoarthritis, the condition which short-circuited former Leaf Alex Mogilny's career.
