Salo had a pretty good run until the incident.
Hey Baba, nothing has changed in Oilerville.
|
I always remembered Salo as guy that would play great or fudge the bed utterly. Also seemed prone to the odd epic brain fart at the worst times. Miles ahead of these guys now though. Joseph was incredible. I remember those 2 game 7s in 1997 and 1998. He was just unbeatable. I kinda miss cheering for those heart and soul teams. If this current squad had half their work ethic we would have a cup by now.

Salo was the team MVP for something like six years in a row. I think a lot of people's memories of Salo are really coloured by his last season here when the wheels just completely came off - there was no gradual downward slide for Tommy and Belarus did seem to break him (although I've read that that goal shouldn't have counted due to the shot hitting him in the mask, which theoretically should have stopped play at the time).
Welcome back Baba! It's nice to see a couple familiar faces return...sadly it's not for a Cup run.

It's a shame Belarus couldn't win another game to get a hockey medal that year. They've never won a team sport medal at any Olympics and that was probably their last best chance before the Soviet Union reforms.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
