Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Borje's BMW: Toronto Maple Leafs' defenceman Borje Salming currently is driving around in a BMW 528e - a really good car, he says. But now he's thinking of getting a second car, possibly a Jaguar, that he would use only in good weather. Salming hates rain, anyway, following a nasty incident on the Gardiner Expressway, when he totalled a Chevy Monte Carlo.
