From a Wings fan born and raised in Detroit, proud to say that the only jersey in my closet without a winged wheel on it, has "Forsberg" across the back. one hell of a player.
@liukangstoupee Lidstrom is the greatest two-way defenseman ever, but I wouldn't say that there is one GOAT amongst Swedish players. My list of the greatest Swedes in no particular order is this: Peter Forsberg Nicklas Lidstrom Mats Sundin Daniel and Henrik Sedin
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!!
Speed, strength, hands, vision, anticipation, balance, finish, compete. Forsberg possessed it all, an amazing player on every level. There is nothing on earth like hockey
As a sharks fan I hated peter forsberg, I watched him destroy us too many times growing up. But now I look back and I respect what he did. He was such a phenomenal player definitely one of the best.
You got to know where we came from to understand where we're at. If you're not old enough to have seen this guy play in the NHL you will never really quite understand his greatness and why he won two cups, two WC and two olympic gold medals and is considered one of the best at the game in history even though he had a fairly short NHL career(700 games) due to all the injurys he got being the best player in the world during this specific era and the abuse he took. Simply a god.
Truth so true..I played through this era and earlier and people have no idea how hard it was to play. The abuse and strength needed to be good and he had it all and fought through it all. The best overall Ive seen in this era..They need to allow a little more in todays era.To many soft calls now..Cant even touch a dude and bam in the box.sorry this era was some of the most exciting hockey youll ever see wings avs man
Having lived in Colorado at that time I was fortunate to have watched those glory days and Peter was so much better than any compilation can really show. Still, this was a beautiful countdown.
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.
Finland and Sweden has been the same nation for hundreds of years. There's no competition, you're awesome and we love u. Foppa is just too gooð though.
I'd love to see a highlight video of every time Forsberg laid a devastating hit on somebody, while he was in control of the puck. Nobody did that better.
All great plays, but I have seen a lot of plays from Peter that's better than half of these. In my opinion, Peter is one of the top 5 best players ever. It's so sad that he had all those injuries! But that's the price for his physical terror.
Very insightful compilation and comment. It was frustrating to watch these great players being destroyed in a way that basically destroyed the game. A player like Forsberg shortened his career with years by standing up to these game-destroyers. Some other legends before him, like Gretzky, were never obstructed like he was. Cheers for this video.
His greatest strength was his biggest weakness. The heart to never give up and push past pain is what ruined his career, but also what made him so great
Best all around game in NHL history in my opinion. Scoring, Passing, Checking, Fighting, Defense. Ppl forget he was prob the best passer in the league. He was the lebron james of hockey when healthy.
Forsberg is my favorite player of all time and the only forward who never needed an enforcer for he was his own. The most complete 2-way player to ever play in the NHL.
Personally I think he's a top 15 to ever play. 1.25 points per game, 2 cups, 2 gold medals, calder, 4th all time in assists per game, 8th all time in points per game, scoring title, believe he won the hart or the lindsay as well. He also totally changed the perception of Swedish players.
FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! and this is coming from a die-hard Detroit Red Wings fan. i will always prefer the Swedish players over other europeans and north americans. thank you olle
#3 at 15:00. Remember seeing it live with my family, we all stood up screaming with joy. I screamed so hard that I literally saw stars infront of my eyes.
Great player - big and strong, could make 180 degree turn on the coin from full speed, receive/return a hit and at the same time keep full control of the puck. All time 4th in assists per game (min 300 assist) - respect.
As a student living in Sweden, I got up on my bike 03.30 in the morning to watch the Avalanche playoffs because of this guy. He was worth it. Goddamn was he dominant.
The thing with Peter Forsberg that I think many are forgetting about, is that Forsberg wasn´t the kind of superstar, scorer like the other players he is compared with. Peter Forsberg was a team player and not a fancy player - team first, always!
Right, his career high off the top of my head was 29 to 32 goals. If he was more selfish and shot first more often he could have been a perennial 60 goal scorer. No doubt about it.
This is my second time here I believe, I have to say the idea of using this music is nothing short of brilliant. Fantastic video. 👍🍺 Awesome player, hands down.. he was an animal.
I once asked Forsberg ( foolishly ) if he remembered that play when he charged the net with a guy draped all over him and he scored anyway. He just smiled at me. I immediately realized I was an idiot but he was still kind and asked back, " which one? ". Really nice guy and of course one of the best to play the game. By the way, the play I was recalling was 13:25 , just in case you were still wondering Pete.
As a Avs fan I would love to see Forsberg play in today's game without all the holding and grabbing. He would lead the league in assists without a doubt. His combination of toughness and skill was unmatched.
Awesome video. Great job in setting up the era haha loved the terminator music to top it off. I was lucky enough.to see Forsberg play for my Flyers later on. He was a perfect fit for the city. But then again would be a perfect fit anywhere.
This guy should be on more top 10 lists, number 7, anyone notice he undressed two hall of famers, Coffey and Lidstrom. He was a bad man Peter Forsberg.
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.
How I wish he could've have stayed healthy...I started to love hockey a bit late in my life and by that time he was already playing like half of his seasons. He's still my favorite player ever though. These highlights are great souvenirs
Well look him up not to many players in the World have earned 7 Norris Trophys. NHL-gold/WC-gold and Olympic-gold all in one season =Triple Gold Club etc. etc.
His greatest strength was his biggest weakness. The heart to never give up and push past pain is what ruined his career, but also what made him so great
Forsberg was good enough to be a 150 point player on a good team in the 80s. Agree he had a run of several years when he was the best player in the league
When Jagr and Forsberg decided to rag the puck, it was almost impossible to take it away from them! Best in the business ever! Sid might be the closest, in terms of possession game.
Was it against the Sharks in their zone? I think I saw this too, seemed like he held the puck for a minute, unbelievable. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened more than once
One of the most unstoppable player my favorite Avalanche player Peter Forsberg he can't be replaced if you see him skating towards you you will be sorry you got in his way.
"Phillytheflyerable": It's not that easy to get all the clips in the quality that you want. It was more important for me to show the real Forsberg top 20 plays, rather than "Forsberg top 20 among the clips that I can get in the right quality".
i was born in '86, and wasn't really introduced to hockey until i was 8 or 9, so this dude was my first hockey hero. i knew gretzky was the goat cuz thats what everyone was telling me, and i was a penguins fan then so i loved lemieux but i didn't get to see much of him before columbus got a team. i saw a lot of prime forsberg tho, and he was special.
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.
noooooooo nooooooooooo i do not ever wanna see that goal of his when he ties the game against finland... i´ve managed to avoid it for 12 years and now........ NOOOOOOO
i wouldnt say beautiful as so much as it was just a complete and utter collapse by us Finns, just like the whole game. dont think im still quite over it....
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.
There will never be another player like Peter the Great! The GOAT of taking over a game and putting his team on his back! But Mackinnon is the next Avs savior!!
You feel like there are too many Philly highlights in here. Forsberg was a beast for years in Colorado, and did things as impressive as the Philly highlights on almost a regular basis.
Ive been watching the game for most of my 33 years and Peter Forsberg is the most talented hockey player I've ever seen in my life.
I agree, second is probably Jagr or Crosby. All three used lower body strength to rub checks off and attack the net. Beautiful.
@@dylanr8481 great picks. Prime Joe Thornton was another one that was damn near impossible to overpower when it came to controlling the puck
Jeremy Roenick says he’s the GOAT.
@@cubuffs2028he says he is but Roy has his two Stanley cups plugging his ear so know one can hear that bullshit
From a Wings fan born and raised in Detroit, proud to say that the only jersey in my closet without a winged wheel on it, has "Forsberg" across the back. one hell of a player.
Old Colorado Detroit games were a lots fun. The old saying I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out applied there
I know Gretzky has the best stats of all time , but Peter Forsberg is the best overall player I have ever seen.
Fuck yeah!
@liukangstoupee Lidstrom is the greatest two-way defenseman ever, but I wouldn't say that there is one GOAT amongst Swedish players. My list of the greatest Swedes in no particular order is this:
Peter Forsberg
Nicklas Lidstrom
Mats Sundin
Daniel and Henrik Sedin
S Choudhry putting Forsberg over Lidstrom is ridiculous. Give your head a shake man goddamn
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!!
Speed, strength, hands, vision, anticipation, balance, finish, compete.
Forsberg possessed it all, an amazing player on every level. There is nothing on earth like hockey
Well said man!🏒
He also played great defense!!!
Forsberg was an incredible player. My favorite of all time.
mine too
Joe Sakic won the hart trophy and said the best player in the Avs locker room by far is Peter Forsberg. He is criminally underrated.
Joe Sakic is a super epic Hockey player...... But he was right ...P - Forsberg the king
Ehr.. underrated? Hockey hall of famer?
@@azynkron Yes
No he's not.
Despite all the fame Peter Forsberg had he indeed is criminally underrated, especially nowadays.
When he was healthy, he was the best player in the world.
everyone knows that, its just that very few can admit it
They would have if he was canadian
True
Fedorov > Forsberg
Jagr in that era was more dominant
As a sharks fan I hated peter forsberg, I watched him destroy us too many times growing up. But now I look back and I respect what he did. He was such a phenomenal player definitely one of the best.
The best ever of all
Ha...I was at a game against the Sharks
right before they traded for Patrick Roy ..
the Avs won 13-1 ..
Man played almost his whole career in the "low-scoring era" of the NHL and he's #9 all-time in points per game. Let that sink in.
Big respect from Finland!
Finns got the sisu Sweden got P.Forsberg...well we had :)
Forsberg was one of the most talented players to ever play the game

Great player. But, he also played on a very talented team, which really opens up the ice
Best player EVER! Thank you so much for all the great memories, Peter!
Gretzky needed someone to protect him. Forsberg protected himself!
And made others need to protect themselves!
Not only did Gretzky need someone to protect him, players of the opposite team left him alone too because he was the "Great"
the reason I fell in love with hockey, my favorite player of all time, Peter Forsberg.
+Ashlay MacIssac IDIOT!!!!
+Ashlay MacIssac that kind of logic most probably only applies to you
***** haha oh poor Brendan Shanahan, he was quite the choir boy right?
Saw this video 6 years ago, watch it almost every week lol. Wonderfully done video
One of the greatest to ever play the game. Forsberg, Jagr, Gretzsky, Lemiux - Players that could carry their teams on a bad Day.
Most complete skillset to ever play the game of hockey.
nope :D
Definitely
Alberta Boy Aw, are you gonna cry like this on every thread? Poor baby... your tears are wonderful.
Bobby Orr and Gordie Howe, steve Yzerman own that title. Forshit doesn't come close.
HAH, you don't know shit
This guy would absolutely dominate in todays game
Peter Forsberg was one of the greatest of all time.
+matt knowles Still alive and going strong. don´t forget.
Agree.
For sure
Yet his stats aren’t even close to greatest of all time
@@MetalDetroit Check the era where Forsberg played in then come back you moron. It was way tougher to play in the clutch & grab
Never liked the Avs or Flyers but I always admired Forsberg. Truly one of the all time greatest players. Nice tribute.

Thank you! My favorite player of all time. Foopa did alot to move the sport!
one of the most incredible players from a raw skill perspective to ever play the game. Damn was he gifted
If he wanted to, Peter Forsberg could go in a revolving door behind you and come out ahead of you!
Only gypsies can do that
@@TheDieselbutterfly then he's a gypsy
Peter Forsberg could slam a revolving door shut
He also built the hospital he was born in

absolutly one of the best ever. If he would have come later after the clutch and grab era he would have dominated totaly

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.
5million Sweds? Finns are 5 million, Sweden 10million.
Damn. Twice as many, 10 million TOO many! That's a lot of whining for a small planet.
thats just like your opinion man... :)
There will never be another player like Peter the Great! The GOAT of taking over a game and putting his team on his back! But Mackinnon is the next Avs savior!!
He already is tho. I think MacKinnnon, Landeskog and Makar is the most epic trio in todays hockey
You feel like there are too many Philly highlights in here. Forsberg was a beast for years in Colorado, and did things as impressive as the Philly highlights on almost a regular basis.
