Peter Forsberg gets in disguise and fools Swedish veteran mens team

[@pa5886]

Kids in Örnsköldsvik where Forsberg is born and raised, were told that the King was coming to visit their school and they were really exited. Only to get really disappointed when the acutal swedish king visited insted of Peter Forsberg, The real King of Örnsköldsvik.

[@brentchapman1958]

I was in Ornskoldsvik in January 1997 (it is a long story but for one week my wife and I traveled from Stockholm to Trehorningsjo and back). What an amazing country and the most wonderful people. Being from Winnipeg and Vancouver almost everyone wanted to ask me what I knew and thought of Swedish hockey players that played in the NHL and for the Winnipeg "Yets" of the WHA. In every town the people had their local hockey hero that they wanted to find out if the Canadian had seen them play in Canada. Mats Sundin and Lars Erik Sjoberg in Stockholm, (a fellow in the back of the rental car office at the airport came out to shake my hand because I had seen "the Swedish Bobby Orr play" someone from Leksand wanted to know if I saw Danny Labraaten play (I did many times), another person from Willie Lidstrom's home town was ecstatic, couldn't have been happier that I knew who Willie was and was sad when he left the Jets. In Sundsval we talked about Fred Modin. When we got to Ornskoldsvik the conversation was about three players, Andres Hedberg, Markus Naslund "the enigma" (their words) and the King Peter Forsberg. I was told that if you fly over "Orvik" you will know which is Forsberg's home because he has a hockey player painted on the bottom of the pool. You can have Paris and Rome. I will take the small towns of Sweden any day. (Hard boiled eggs, ham, toast and butter every morning...delicious)

@@brentchapman1958 Damn, I love talking hockey with Canadiens specifically, I have a Canadian girlfriend who live with me here in Sweden and we talk, discuss and even argue about hockey every day. We also support different teams in the NHL (Detroit for me and Ottawa for her), but we support the same team in Sweden (Färjestad BK) while I at the same time, work part-time as an assistant equipment manager for the team while also doing loads of other stuff in the arena as well.

@@Outside_The_Wall in 2015 I was in Norway for the marriage of my Swedish niece and her Norwegian groom. The wedding was in Molde. That is to say, the city where most out of town guests of the wedding stayed in was Molde but the wedding was in a small Viking village near Molde. There were maybe 125 - 150 people there 45% Norwegian, 45% Swedish and 10% Canadians. It was announced that there was to be a contest of the best drinking song between the Swedes and the Norwegians. Though the wedding and all the speeches were conducted in English...because 15 Canadians were attending, (that is how considerate Scandinavians are) the songs were sung in their native tongues. Lots of laughs and many drinks get consumed and my nephew, the twin brother of the bride, asks me if the Canadians want to get in on the fun and sing our favorite Canadian drinking song. The Canadians huddled and realized none of us knew a drinking song and if we had ever heard one we were too drunk at the time to remember it now. We decided we would sing the chorus the Good Old Hockey Game song by Stompin Tom Conners. It wasn't a great rendition but our Swedish hockey crazy friends and family at the wedding were thrilled. My nephew got up and thought in might be funny to remind us that we weren't too far from Lillehammer where Sweden beat Canada for Olympic gold and said he was surprised Canadians would bring up hockey with that historic reminder so near by. There were plenty of good natured laughter around the room. Not to be outdone, I stood up, the room quitetened, I said "well, we really don't know any drinking songs, so we thought a hockey song would have to do. We considered singing the Canadian national anthem but Lillehammer was a long time ago and lately you Swedes have heard enough of O' Canada." It was taken in the fun it was meant. Thankfully, we were outnumbered. LOL

When the other player had their stick "all up in him" and Forsberg just calmly rode that curve, controlling the other players body and stick as well as the puck? I replayed it like 10 times It reminded me of watching a highly trained martial artist spar against a newbie. They always only exert the exact amount of force needed to overcome the opponent safely.

It really is amazing seeing an NHL player amongst regular folk. My Dad played in an old timers hockey league with Jay Wells, who won a Stanley Cup with the Rangers, but otherwise was a 4th line plugger. Even though he wasn't a star his hands with the puck were so much better than anyone else on the ice. I recall back during the last lockout Erik Condra, a 3rd line penalty kill specialist in the NHL played in the German 3rd division and tore it up like he was Gretzky in his prime.

This reminds me of a old story from an ambassador in Japan. He explained how at a martial-prowess showing a Samurai was to shoot a target behind a veil. All invited were in silence as the Samurai took stage, striked his aiming pose, and shot his arrow. To the ambassadors confusion, all the Japanese members of the onlookers started applauding instantly even though no one had looked behind the veil. As the ambassador went behind the cloth he saw that the arrow had struck straight into the middle of the target almost perfectly. His translator explained that the onlookers did not even have to view the target to see the shot stroke perfectly, they could see it in the mans pose as he aimed. Same here where the players, not even seeing who the person is behind all that clothe and makeup, can still tell it's one of the best Hockey-players of all time just by the way he conducts himself on the ice.

Long story short,,,, I was blown away with how fast, strong and quick play making these guys were, and they were retired....lolol. They had fun with us and once in awhile there competitiveness would kick in and you couldn't touch the puck! I met Terrry O'Reilly, great guy off the ice, but a huge dude..omg. Lindsman, Sweeney, The rat, they weren't considered prized players by NHL standards, but I was blown away! I tried checking one 7 seasons NHL with the bruins player, in the corner and he sent me flying like nothing..lol I'm 5'11 201lbs.
