      Peter Forsberg

      Mats Sundin

    I got to see a bunch of his games here in Denver from the mid '90s on and feel VERY fortunate that I did. Just an unbelievable talent. Shooting, puck handling, offense, defense, strong as hell... he did it all, the total package. I worked in a huge sports bar and met LOTS of athletes over the years, as well as some tv celebrities and musicians. Meeting and having a beer with him was the only time I've ever been starstruck!!

    As a Finn we love to hate Swedish players, at the same time we have the most respect for them and the combination of those two things make each clash in the hockey rink an event, some more memorable than others, still it is always a special moment. Peter Forsberg gave us Finnish hockey fans some bitter lessons, so we were afraid of him, hated him, loved him and marveled at him. Sundin loved to taunt, that was his style, Forsberg was gracious off the ice; after going through this crazy fucking hooking and cross-checking etc, and never complained about his injuries. My kudos to Foppa.

    All accolades have already been written. I’ll just reiterate them, because watching Peter Forsberg videos still gives me goosebumps, borderline tears. He was an absolute ice hockey phenom! What most younger folks don’t get is that Forsberg’s career coincided with the worst spectator-friendly and hockey-unaesthetic era of clutch-and-grab. Technical forwards were much more easily shut down without drawing opposing team penalties. It’s of course all hypothetical, and you can’t compare eras, but I honestly believe that Peter Forsberg would have surpassed Wayne Gretzky’s points per game average had he played either before the 90’s and early 2000’s, or after 2005.

    There is a couple of errors in the notes and commentary behind the OT winner against Vancouver in 2001. First, it wasn't a series clinching goal as it was only game 3. Second, it was definitely not the first series win for the Avs since 96. They went to the Western Conference Final in 1997, 1999, and 2000. They won several playoff series between 1996 and 2001.

    I could care less about high scoring games. The unfettered desire to turn the core of hockey into the NBA has taken the spark out of the NHL. Forsberg was not the only player with a brilliant mix of finesse and hardcore physicality. This era created Jagr, Leetch, Roenick, Messier, Konstantinov and at the same time ultimate finesse players like Larionov, Kozlov, even the Great One flourished. I miss that era, to say the least. Stellar video!

    Forsberg and Lemieux.... Two indestructible machines. Both players could single handledly physically go through everyone. Both battled injuries and conditions that caused both players to rise to even greater heights to finish the game, and they did so beautifully. I'm a wings and sabres fan. Anytime Peter or Mario was on the ice I held my breath. They could create something from nothing. Unreal f***** legends. Never will there be more dominant players in our game at all aspects of the game like these two. I would give anything to have another one like these two. Players that can fight, dominate a game, and stick up for teammates.

      Swedes like to bolster the credit to bolster their egos. When they win, they won despite the cheating, bad reffing, being injured hurt etc. Winning at all odds because they're just so great. When they lose, they were cheated, refs were paid, and, oh, by the way, they didn't want to win or weren't really trying anyway. That's a Swede in a nutshell almost down to the last one. Thankfully there's only 5 million of them.
