Unexpected criticism of the new TV series about Börje Salming after the acclaimed premiere episode: “He wasn’t so…”

Friend’s criticism

It is Salming’s old friend and teammate Ride Uusitalowhose surname is now Björkenhäll, who has seen the first episodes and found errors in the story.
– Yes, I thought it was good. But this fight outside… Nah, I didn’t like that, says Åke to P4 Kronoberg.
– I have not experienced that and I have never heard anyone talk about it. Outside the ice, that is. On the ice it happened often.

During the first episodes, we get to see how Börje Salming often gets into fights, mainly on the ice but also at the workplace and outside a sausage stand. That is not true, according to the former teammate.
– But he was never a fighter, he was rather the one who just walked away. He didn’t want to make a fuss outside. But on the pitch he was like a wild animal, says Uusitalo to the radio channel.
– I remember when he joined the A team, then he threw himself into training and covered shots. He got pucks on his knuckles and those who have played know how much it hurts.

Åke Uusitalo also remembers what he used to say to a young Börje in Kiruna AIF.
– I used to say to him: “You don’t need the hell to throw yourself into training”. Then he replied: “If you don’t do it in training, you don’t do it in matches either,” he says with a laugh in the interview.
