What Will Mats Sundin Do If He Retires?

If Mats Sundin of the Toronto Maple Leafs does in fact choose to hang up his jock strap, fans will surely be wondering what he might be doing in all his spare time.

This IQ-lowering 79-part series delves into the black hole of possibilities available to the Big Swede in this post-NHL stage of his life, story continues with “Cat Napping“, a pastime practiced on the ice by a few members of the Leafs defense in past seasons.“For those about to nap, we sa-lute you” AZ-DZ, (Slept like a) Rock Group from the 80z.

“Hello my name is Mats, and I’m a napaholic. I haven’t had a nap for over 18 yearszzzzz…”

Now that he’s retired, Mats can spend the rest of his afternoons cat napping.

In his morning schedule he usually pencils in activities from parts one and two of this series, but after a hearty lunch of his favorite meal, köttbullar

and kroppkaka, (huh, huh, he said “kaka”) followed by hot and spicy Jamaican beef patties flown in from the small bakery at Bathurst subway station in Toronto, (all washed down with blåbärssoppa naturally), Mats is ready to catch a few Z’s.

After lunch, his favorite place to rest is usually the traditional Swedish Ikea futon (Is it a sofa? Is it a bed? Who cares, it’s very uncomfortable - and yes, I know futons are Japanese, so just play along).

Before settling in, the required pick-ball-flick-scratch-scratch-and-yawn routine must be adhered to (Mats being a man who likes his routine - I mean, come on, 14 years with the Leafs?) along with an adjustment of “Little Mats” (a la Dave Stieb).

The nap itself usually lasts ten to 30 minutes (as per recommendations by sleep experts) and involves very pleasant alpha-level dreaming of waterfalls, meadows, and stanley, er sorry, butter cups.

The end of Mats’s siesta always comes to an abrupt end, as in the last two minutes of play in his dream, he is always blind-sided to the head by a high stick. He passes out. As Mats regains consciousness, the image of Pavel Kubina, standing over him and asking him if he’s alright, comes slowly into focus.

Instantly Mats wakes up in a cold sweat and leaps from his futon, screaming in a high-pitched soprano: “GIMME MY ‘C’ BACK, BITCH!”

Ah, ain’t retirement grand?
