Maybe there's a logical explanation... he's a vampire or a werewolf, those creatures can't tolerate silver...
Thomsonic Finnboy LoL
This, then tripping in front of MSG crowd on his rookie debut followed by an uneventful nhl career thus far… unfortunate sequence of events.
Those are basically his highlights. I think he scored a total of 8 or 9 goals his whole career. Will Cuylle who the Rangers traded Anderson for crushed those stats in one rookie season
The best part was the drunk guy wearing it
He earned it, so it's his choice to do whatever with it. He can burn it, eat, or throw it. It's his. Players when the get the silver anyways put it away then don't touch ever again so why does it matter. And he is just a young kid on the age. He will mature over the years.
MATTchew atCHEW he should give it to Beyoncé.
*casually eats medal*
And what's it going to do for him anyway, sit on a mantle and remind him of that time he almost won.
How’d that work out for him😂😂😂😂😂 I’m sure he matured a lot since then. It was a douchebag move at the time and gave us some insight into how his career would unfold.
To be fair this was Lias Andersson's results at International competitions.
u17 - Bronze
u18 - Silver
Hlinka - 4th
u20 - 4th
u20 - Silver
I'd be pissed too....
Being pissed is understandable. Not accepting second place is understandable. But throwing the medal away two seconds after receiving it live on tv leaves a bad taste
Respect
I have no idea why people find this admirable in any way. He clearly demonstrates he can't handle defeat whatsoever, so he has to act like a baby about it. It's pathetic.
It sends a message that you should never be happy with second place regardless of how well your performance is
@@dirty.dan37 That's such bullshit.
@@Boogieboy138 I hate to break it to you but I would rather win and play terrible than lose and play outstanding that’s not just how sports works that’s also how life works
@@dirty.dan37 That's clearly how it works according to you. Hate to break it to you regardless how you want to look at it, there's nothing admirable about being a sore loser. But you go ahead and think otherwise with that logic of yours.
@@Boogieboy138 I’m just gonna say if I lose at anything and if I look like a sore loser then honestly that’s not my problem Plus if people think I’m a sore loser I don’t really care it just it just means they know I’m gonna come back and work harder because I know what I did previously was not good enough
king shit
He should have gave it back to the man and told him to keep it himself !!!
What is he throwing into the crowd when he looks back on this nhl career so far?
I understand. I rather win Bronze than lose for Silver.
I personally like the fact that he did this because people think he might be a sore loser but I think it just really shows how much he wanted to win and that second place isn’t good enough if he looked like a sore loser that wasn’t his problem
Losing really sucks. That silver medal is a reminder that you lost, it's almost like a participation award. I can't fault him for making that decision.
I can.
eh at least Frank has 1 friend
Proud he did that. I hate losing too. Good for him. Anyone who thinks he needs an attitude check or to mature, well I guess you're ok with defeat. Sucks to suck. He's not about it.
I agree sir, anyone who is a graceful loser, is just a loser. You don't win silver, you lose gold. Big difference. I'd have chucked it to.
So if that is the case, why did the rest of the team not follow suit? Oh right, because they were sportsmanlike, unlike their captain. They were all crying, but they still wore their medals and stood through the victory handshakes. There is a difference between losing with class and losing like a poor sport.
Agreed, the silver medal basically says that you did good, but not good enough.
lol
I see nothing wrong with this. Why be happy finishing second?
It’s not about being happy. It just is a bad look in front of everyone
Очень жаль шведов ,они вчера были лучше
Lol that's why it's our sport ---# try table tennis

Then why do you need your referees to mop away the opposition for you, as happened in the last canada cup?
@@nilssundblad1637 no one cares about the canada cup you swedish meatball
I hate how everyone is giving him shit for this, he’s a kid. We’ve all said or done some stupid stuff growing up.
um yup your right and when you do stupid stuff you get told how stupid and disrespectful and all the shit that comes with it... Thats how you learn to be a better person...
Tom-E respectable
Musix He’s in his late teens; not a child you moron. Do you even know what age group you’re talking about? I played hockey since age 5 and even when I was a kid (as you mistakenly claim), I would never disrespect my team, coaches, family, and the game. He’s a deuche bag and you’re a moron for excusing his behaviour. He’s not a kid - this wasn’t an Atom or Squirt tournament; half these guys are drafted already.
Krasnaludek what he did was obviously wrong... I never dismissed his actions, I’m just puzzled because people like you call him a douchebag, when in reality it was a mistake that I’m sure he’ll regret later in life. You have no sympathy or understanding for other people’s emotions.
Musix I agree as young people we do childish things, this was childish, on tv and he better grow up cause he will be on tv a lot more. These days technology leaves the door wide open. It’s his choice
Should he have kept the medal? NO! Should he have thrown it away on camera? NO! Get to the dressing room and then toss it.
Bronze and silver medal are fucking shit i dont like them he was going that he threw his silver medal i was doing same and bronze medal same and gold medal is gold medals
Not sure what to make of this. To most of the world, that would look like poor sportsmanship. Not an honourable way to behave. Does it make more sense from a Swedish perspective?
I’m not Swedish but I do understand Lias’s mindset here. He threw his medal into the crowd because he simply didn’t want it. He fought soooo hard in the championships but only to come in 2nd. For him, that’s a failure even though 2nd place is theoretically really good. What a lot of people don’t understand is that there are hockey players in which hockey means everything to them. For players like Lias, it’s all about winning the championship and hopefully hoist that Stanley Cup. These players are really prideful and have that competitive spirit in their souls. Just imagine yourself or somebody else compete in something they are really really good at (we’re talking contenders for gold) and that certain sport or competition means everything to them and when they compete, they fall just inches short of their target. As a contender, one would likely be very disappointed and sad because they gave their heart out to play but only to come in 2ND. The really prideful athletes wouldn’t embrace that kind of accomplishment and they wouldn’t even accept it. Thats how Lias felt and that’s why he threw his silver into the stands (cause he didn’t accept and didn’t want to be known for such an underperformance). Whenever one wins gold, they like to celebrate and let the whole world know that they are champions. It’s completely different with silver. Ever hear someone celebrate to the world “Yayy, we’re 2nd!!”. Nope, totally different. If he doesn’t want the medal, then why should he be forced to keep it? This is something that a lot of people are overlooking. They’re so worried about what’s displayed on TV and in this case, it’s not about how we feel as a viewer about that medal. We’re not even the ones who participated in this championship (so we have no room or right at all to dictate what Lias should do with that medal). Heck, we’re not even a hockey player or empathetic enough to understand what it truly feels like to come in 2ND in something in which you played your heart out. The point is, the harsh criticism that a lot of people put out towards Lias for his actions is largely unjustifiable because a lot of people truly don’t understand what it means to come in 2nd.
@@UnchartedfunLL but it can also be interpreted as disrespectful. He threw it away few seconds after they gave it to him. It’s kind of disrespectful to the other teams. If he did offcamera after he went out of the stadion nothing would be wrong
As a Swede: No, it's definitely not a cultural thing or anything. I can totally get his frustration - you win the bronze medal and you lose the gold medal. But it's simply unsportsmanlike behavior - you should respect the championship and your reward, and you should avoid being a sore loser. However, being a bad winner is imho even worse - like the finnish player in the junior championship 2024 who skated past the swedish bench hushing the players. Or several american players who blew kisses to the mostly swedish crowd after winning. No team should behave that way.
That was a disgrace to the game of hockey.
