Big thing to remember is the guy is only 19 years old. These guys are kids and kids are emotional, this wasn’t the NHL or the Olympics these were young guys playing in the biggest game of their early careers. The tension was high, expectations were high, and after a great game by Sweden, the Canadians put it away with mere minutes left to play.
However, throwing away your medal is completely unprofessional and lacks class. He had every right to be angry, the entire Swedish roster was angry, but to go and throw your medal into the stands is the exact opposite of good sportsmanship.
Calling him a coward is way to extreme, but he’s not a hero either. He wanted to win bad, which is fine, unfortunately for him he was left heartbroken, and let his emotions get the best of him.
