Sweden 'sick and tired' of seeing Sandin get slashed at World Juniors. MORE:
OSTRAVA, Czech Republic — Sweden is sick of seeing Rasmus Sandin get slashed.The 19-year-old defenceman took another hack to his left wrist — between the glove and elbow where there's no padding — in a 5-0 quarterfinal victory over hosts Czech Republic at the world junior hockey championship on Thursday.
He was then slashed in almost the exact same spot Thursday and remained in the game. Sandin wasn't, however, on the ice for the anthem after the final buzzer and didn't speak to reporters."He's doing fine," Allenby said."It's painful, of course. It's in the news. It's impossible to hide that he was slashed there. Right from the beginning of the game we feel that the Czechs were slashing him on the wrist again.
Allenby said any fingers being pointed at Sandin for not wearing the proper amount of protection isn't warranted.
