Börje... Khihihii! Toki makuasioitahan nämä on, mistä pelaajista pitää..
Tässä ei ole kysymys ainoastaan makuasioista, teot puhuvat puolestaan.
Tässä vain pari pientä pätkää Börje Salmingin 17 kautisen NHL-uran varrelta:
Best Defense Player (by score) in Toronto for 7 Seasons
In the top 4 in Toronto (by score) during 1976-82
Most assists of all time (team record) in Maple Leafs
1 229 Games
162 Goals
674 Assists
1 435 PIM
Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame 1996
Ruotsissa:
2 Swedish Championships Gold (team Brynäs)
1 World Championships Silver
1 World Championships Bronze
1 Canada Cup Bronze
All-Star Team World Championships 1973
All-Star Team Canada Cup 1976
- Ja pari ääntä, jotka ovat itse nähneet tarpeeksi sanoakseen:
Said about Salming
"We called him "King" because he was the King for all Europeans. All the players coming over to NHL later has him to thank for everything"
Dave "Tiger" Williams
"Is there anyone we could see winning a Stanley Cup for another club, it would be Salming"
Taxi driver in Toronto
"We hated to lose, in a battle, of any kind, I would always wanna have Börje by my side"
Lanny McDonald
all above is taken from "Blod, Svett och Hockey" ("Blood, Sweat and Hockey") by Börje Salming
- Olen lukenut kyseisen kirjan. Suosittelen sitä myös sinulle. Uskon että sen jälkeen kuvasi Börje Salmingista on täysin erilainen.
