Front Jacket Excerpt:
"Borje Salming. It's a name that conjures up many images to the fans of
Canada's favorite game-the nervous first introduction of two unknown
Swedish players, Salming and Inge Hammarstrom, to the Toronto Maple Leafs
in the early seventies" the baiting and roughing in the NHL of a
"european-style" player who emphasized skill over brute force but who
wasn't afraid to mix it up with anyone on the ice; the graceful and daring
shot-blocking by a big defenceman that made fans roar with delight; the
chiseled features of a seemingly shy Swede who hated media interviews
because he felt handicapped by his poor English; a player who survived then
rigors of seventeen years of professional hockey only to retire to his
homeland to continue playing for the elite Swedish team."
The Borje Salming "Blood, Sweat and Hockey" 1st Edition Book is in MINT
condition.
