New home, new country, new team, and it soon becomes apparent that Börje has a massive language barrier to overcome; the owner of the Maple Leafs questions if Börje was a bad investment.

Börje's rise to stardom in Toronto and the Maple Leafs is evident, and with a second baby on the way, he is juggling family life and career; Stig visits and questions Börje and the team's efforts on the ice.

Börje is severely hurt during a game; Margitta fears for his life and can no longer stand by and watch her husband suffer; Ballard has hired a new coach, trading players left and right and pushing the players past their breaking points.

The year is 1986, and Börje celebrates his 35th birthday; still on top of his game and despite being approached by other teams, he is staying true and determined to bring home the Stanley Cup with the Maple Leafs.
