Coconuts Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I've no problem with him throwing the medal tbh, the dude wants to win. Does him throwing the medal and the others not following suit mean he wants to win more or they want to win less? Of course not, but that was his individual burst of frustration/disappointment/ect and that's fine. Should he have done it as the captain? Maybe not. But who am I to judge? As a Canadian I'm not gonna understand the frustration of losing to Canada over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 30 minutes ago, oldnews said: meh. I think people are making way too much of it. I remember Vietnam veterans throwing their war medals away. They were theirs to throw away - they earned them - they didn't have to want them. It was really not for anyone else to say how they should have felt about them. Andersson is an 18 yr old whose team just lost their 6th straight gold medal game to Canada. If Swedes want to feel embarrassed by his actions, that's their prerogative, but this has nothing to do with disrespecting Canada, and if a Canadian captain did that, he'd probably be promptly understood. Easy for Canadians to sit back and judge their frustration - but no irony in that - at all - no one plays the "nothing but gold is good enough" song louder than Canadians. Well said. It's a public way of saying "silver isn't good enough". Was it the best way of saying so? Maybe not. We woldn't be planning a parade if we'd won silver though.

This isnt miracle or star wars. Disney doesmt direct real life. The result isn't the disappointment. Thankfully Canada scored an actual 5 on 5 goal to win that game - nothing to take away from the players - but even that doesn't change the fact that the game was devolved by trigger happy officials from the potential epic track meet we all wanted to see - into a fn special teams showdown. Got a great look at the Swedish penalty kill though. Woot woot. Disney, Star Wars - whatever - I don't want to see the WWF either. If you're looking at it simply through the lens of a Canadian result, then no, you're not disappointed - but as a fan of the game that wants to see teams head to head at their best - it fell short - it was disappointing. I personally was hoping we'd get through that horrible third period - let the teams regroup - and go back at it in OT. As it stood - 5 minutes left and the Swedes still shorthanded - again. At least Canada scored the gwg 5 on 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hopefully going to go see Sweden-USA next year, as well as one of the Team Canada warmup games. Don't feel like shelling out to see Kazakhstan get steamrolled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classless. yeah - that was classless. and long after the game, not moments after a devastating loss. and done by a bunch of "adults" - at least adult aged men. who trashed property that was not theirs. not really a comparable.

Yeah it's supposed to 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th in one group and 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, Division I champion in the other if I remember correctly. I just assumed that they always manipulated the groups because Canada and USA always seem to be together. But I checked back to 2011, and they weren't in the same group. And from 2012-2017, it happened naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDragon23 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 It was disrespectful for Andersson as the captain to throw away his silver medal like that. But I think some people are making a bigger deal out of it then it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
