Well to be honest the Czechs did suck. But that doesn't take away the fact that Sweden did play pretty well. I just don't know where this team stands. I guess we'll see on Sunday.
You are perfectly right. It's stupid Salo was the scapegoat for the fiasco in 2002. The whole team was responsible, not just Salo. Very unfair indeed.Matti_A said:I noticed someone ripping Tommy Salo in the GDT and I feel I have to stand up and defend the guy.
How many remember that it was Tommy's amazing save that won Sweden the gold medal in 94. But he didn't earn a stamp for that, although he would have deserved it just as much as Foppa.
And in the 98 worlds he posted 3 shutouts against finalist finland. Friggin 3 shutouts!! Two of them in the finals, and remember Sweden only scored two goals in those 3 games, only one in the two finals. I think it's pretty safe to say he singlehandedly won the gold that year.
And how many remember what he did in the Belarus game in 02. Tommy was the one who kept the game close till the end with countless spectacular saves.
He made one mistake and took all the blame.
No wonder he never was himself again after taking all that crap from the media and fans. He's only a human being, and humans make mistakes.
This year he has showed everybody he still has it in the Elitserien .
Sorry for being off topic.

When you do that is like throwing wood into the fire, to use a swedish expression. (Kasta ved på elden.)Waseda said:Understood sötnos, but if someone makes a statement, you should be allowed to respond, plain and simple
