TAMMERFORS. Buffalo was rocked by tragedy after an 18-year-old shot dead ten people in a grocery store.
Rasmus Dahlen was shaken by the act of hitting his hometown.
– Too awful. Star advocate Tre Kronor says I live near the store and have shopped there a few times.
three crowns He achieved a convincing victory over the Czech Republic in the second match of the group stage. After an early Czech goal, Sweden took a 4-1 lead and eventually won 5-3.
Rasmus Dahlin was pleased with both the match and the result.
– We knew the Czech Republic had a good team on paper, so we came out strong and played hard throughout the game. It builds self-confidence, but above all we get points and that’s the important thing in the group game. Now we have something to build on, he says.
Dahlin, who usually plays for the Buffalo Sabers, was delighted with the victory but at the same time was really shaken after the crazy action that hit the Buffalo last Saturday.
An 18-year-old in military clothing entered the Tops Market last Saturday with a rifle. He opened fire, killing ten and wounding three. The police classify the incident as a “racist hate crime and violent extremism.”
He lives near the place of the tragedy
Rasmus Dahlin had somewhat followed up by reporting the incident before the match against the Czech Republic. Then he was really affected by the tragedy:
– It’s a terrible story. I can only imagine for everyone involved. It’s horrible, this kind of thing shouldn’t happen.
Have you had contact with anyone who lives there?
– Not much, we had match day today. But now after the game I plan to call the people I know now that they are up and I see that everyone is fine. I think the whole town is in shock. That’s a lot more than we do (ice hockey), it’s uncomfortable.
Nasty when it gets too close.
– Absolutely. It’s a grocery store I’ve been to often. All families involved can only be imagined. It’s so horrific.
Do you know the deal?
– Yes, yes, it is very close to where I live.
