Mats Sundin Interview

I finally got my first interview with Mats Sundin who graciously agreed to chat on video while preparing for his imminent return to the NHL this week.
This was his first interview with a hockey blogger which might be what led us to discussing some rather unconventional topics. The conversation touched on everything from Kyle Wellwood to Sean Avery to… well, you’d better see for yourself.
Anyway, video is below and I think it went quite well, honestly. (Well, except the part where I mispronounced “Canucks”... oh, and all the talk about “skanks”... no idea how that came up…)

Birrell— Oh dear… I was asking for that…!
GZ Expat— Thank you. I figured saying “skank” repeatedly sounds better if I affect an accent…

Weird. Alanah sounded EXACTLY like Microsoft Mary.

No wonder it took so long for Sundin to make his decision to return to hockey - he was training to be a ninja, and that must be very time-consuming.

Beautiful interview Alanah! So you’ve kind of decided you’re not getting a real interview anytime soon eh?

SYF— Geez, I think I’m offended…
Laker— It’s that chic, alien-look.
Baroque— Hmmm. That training could come in handy playing against your favorite team, methinks…
Devin— Alas, I think that ship already sailed long ago. Besides, there’s a million interviews with Sundin floating around out there… but in how many of those do you hear such honest commentary? None, I daresay!
