Best Peter Forsberg Goals From His Career With The Colorado Avalanche 

My thoughts exactly!

He would have wrecked everything apart. :D Was so sad seeing this when i was younger, my favourite hockey player getting injuries :/

Literally one of the best rivalries of all time. So much talent, so much intensity- and Almost 20 Hall of Famers combined.

gordie howe would like to have a word with you.

@@doaftheloaf very good point. But i feel like the farther back in time you go, its very hard to compare, and in a sense the value of the player is diminished. I even value Gretzky less these days because of the talent today.

He also had 3 assists. So he was 3 + 3 for one of the best single player performances ever.

5-0 still as the second period was about to end, and then he starts that comeback in just a bit over 20 minutes

Consider this if you will. Forsberg started having those foot problems in his sophomore year. He literally played his entire career with that nagging foot.

@@vega21 Had no idea he was dealing with for so long. What a shame. The guy was fun to watch and one of my favorite players.

@@NaijaBoiTellEm it's crazy right. He was able to have a HOF career regardless

um...lemieux?

You’re right, probably slipped my mind because when you look at his stats you think the guy played a full career.

Stu Gatz you’re not wrong there

@@koivu11huet39 damn never seen that before.. Bure was a monster in his prime

Forsberg has done Lidstrom dirty several times. 2000 playoffs he walked Lidstrom and Chelios in one play.

He ranks 4th in career assists per game and 8th in career points per game. His career totals are pretty impressive even without accounting for games missed, but his per-game stats are just insane. His playoff stats are insane as well.

Forsberg was more nasty. Come playoff time, you'd be hard pressed to find a better player.

@John Doe the name of the clip is "best Peter Forsberg goals". So unless he scored they wouldn't have made it into this clip. Those of us that remember him does that mostly for his amazing passing and play-making

Ovechkin is the only player that reminds me of Foppa, but Forsberg was simply the toughest player ever who had the best puck control I have ever seen.

@Brandon Harting Wow you are missing the point. Know nothing about hockey. I remeber Crawford fuming on him to shoot more rather than pass. But Forsberg always had more assist than goals. Same in Sweden, he loved the assists.

What about Gordie Howe?

scootscootriot1020 Right. I don’t know. 😧🤭

Russians? Or international hockey doesn't count? Only NHL?

He were a nightmare back then, today he'd pure hell 😂

Best I can do is a morbror...

Some of that credit would go to Joe Sakic, I suppose. I can see the point you've made though, because he plays with the level of efficiency that was really a Canadian trademark at the time.

He was playing with a similar style in sweden, before he went to the NHL...

@@davidekback3963 no one is saying Sakic taught him how to skate big fella. I was moreso observing the idea that his game evolved once he grew more & more comfortable in the NHL as a younger player. There are a lot of elements of the modern game's elite strategists & players that have to be attributed to the way Canadians developed new philosophies.

@@thewat3rcompany I was talking about his style of play and nothing else! I love Forsberg and I love Sakic

@@davidekback3963 just got the impression you felt we gave too much credit to the Canadian play style

I'd compare him more closely to Ovechkin, but in actuality, there really was never any player like him. On the NHL videogame scale, he had 99 puck control, 99 vision, and 99 toughness.

@@lelouchvibritannia4028 yeah, in video game terms his play style is ideal lol

@@thewat3rcompany Yeah, he was like a much more complete two-way Power Forward version of Gretzky but with a terrible set of wheels made of glass. Like Lemieux, what could have been.

@@lelouchvibritannia4028 really struggled as a skater? Hadn't remembered it, based on most of my early 00's hockey knowledge coming from playing NHL 2k as a kid lol

@@thewat3rcompany Nah, I mean he got injured frequently, mainly his ankles. Very little Durability.

Lidstrom would like to have a conversation with you

@@brooke-3615 When Foppa puts it through Lidstrom's legs, the debate is over. Forsberg's PPG is top 10 all time. His plus minus was ridiculous for how few games he played. Had he played the same amount of games as Lidstrom, his stats would be just short of 2,000 points and and a plus minus of 525. All done with 120 fewer shots as Lidstrom. And comparing trophies like the Norris is stupid because they played different positions. Take a lap Brooke

The Sedins are the best. Most tap in goals ever. We will never see something like the Sedins again.

@@anklepick9524 lol Forsberg didnt do tap ins... he plowed through you to shove that puck up the tendy's ass. I wouldnt even say the sedin's were better than Matts Sundin

@@TheAlphapuck5280 No the Sedins must have the most tap ins. When they were passing and going in circles around defenders it was a beauty to watch just to finish off with a great pass and open neter for the other brother. Wooow we are never gonna see something like those two guys ever again. I know. I'm Swedish and the Sedins don't make the top 5 here in Sweden. They are soooooo underrated. It's just me who think they were the best and we wont see something like this. Peter and Sakic couldn't keep the puck like they could not Sid and Malking either. The vision, the silk, the passes, the putting the puck on open surface where nobody else could touch it. It was crazy to watch.

Yea Ovechkin is probably the best natural goal scorer in history. But Forsberg had much more hockey IQ. Ovechkin likes to run over players. Forsberg just powered through them and shrugged them off. Both great players. Forsberg imo is the better package overall, but Ovechkin is a beast. We'll never know because as physical as Forsberg was, he was often injured and retired early. Ovechkin is a workhorse who never quits and built for it.

@@tomp6879 forsberg ran people over all the time I have no idea what youre talking about. Ovechkin scores goals and forsberg passes, simple as that.

Imagine them both on the same line in their prime. I would go change as a defender when I saw them both coming on

Jakob Karlsson Ya it’s like what do you do? Do you get hit by Ovechkin or do you give the puck away but then it goes to Forsberg and you can’t get it from him as he shrugs you off

Bryan Ouellet Ya that’s your best bet lol

Draisaitl isn't a Power Forward like Forsberg. The only player I could compare Forsberg to in today's game is Ovechkin, and even his comparison is really only physicality and attitude. Forsberg is so unique, there's no one like him. Never has been, never will be.

Not really

@@lelouchvibritannia4028 Yeah, Ovechkin doesn't have the same silk as Forsberg.

there's more scoring now than then.

@@doaftheloaf you mean because of clutch and grabbing or the trap?

Goalies were horrible ? Lol so Brodeur, Roy, Richter, Hasek, Osgood, Belfour, Luongo, Theodore, Vanbiesbrouk, Joseph, Vernon, Potvin, Kiprusoff, Nabokov... im guessing all these legend goaltenders were garbage ? Lolll

​@@Cl2olvleY21 Hall of Famers are Hall of Famers,. My comment was referring to the video, the highlights of the goal were goalies out of position; post to post or shot angle. They were also deep in the crease which allowed unnecessarily, over the shoulder and such. I'm not saying the goalies during that time period are horrible, i'm just saying the highlights they picked they performed horribly

@@wreckzc I agree. Hockey just evolves and Hall of Famers of older times are just not as good as players today. It goes for all sports.
