Man Belarus must have really kicked his ass. He was always a favourite of mine, especially in fantasy hockey.

Yup, he was never the same after Belarus. If we were goalies and WE let in that kind of a goal that meant that much, we'd be emotionally scared too.
Meh, ex-Oiler, I hate Oilers, so no big deal to me.

It's just shocking what one goal can do to a player. He was considered a top 10 goalie before that goal. After that he was backup who had to retire early because he couldn't get over it.

One thing to note is Salo is a owner of a bar in Sweden with Nick Lidstrom.
