I’m. Red wings Fan ! Proud of it too. But # 21 was a badass hockey player. Them series’s against Detroit all those years where awesome. Hats of to this man. Even one of the Best Defenseman ever # 5 Nicklas Lidstrom said that #21 was very difficult to defend against. He said he could do it all. And he would make you look foolish doing it !! Top 20 in my book of all time

Red Wings fakking ruled in the 90s. Jesus Chist, the lines they had. Fedorov, Yzerman, Lidstrom, Coffey etc etc. Two Stanley Cups back to back, was it 96/97? I dont remember the year, I just remember being fakking glued to the TV set. Those were the days.

Lidstrom and Sundin are the only Swedes in Forsbergs league. Peters career being cut short by injury, I cant place him above Lidstrom as the greatest Swede. For a career Lidstrom just have to many achievements But in pure skill, at their peak, Peter Forsberg is probably the best. Not only as a Swede but probably a top10 player of all time, period.

As good as Lindros was, i would NEVER have traded Forsberg for him. Not in a million years.
