Peter Forsberg - Style of Play

Style of Play

"He's such an unselfish player. He's one of those players who would rather make a pretty play and feed somebody else for the goal than score himself."

Former coach Marc Crawford

Peter Forsberg was a star forward, with "outstanding" playmaking skills and "great vision" who "possesses an excellent combination of skill and physical play". He was once considered by many as the best two-way player in the world. He is capable of combining physical play and hits with skill and is responsible offensively and defensively. Said to have a "Wayne Gretzky-like" passing touch, he has been complimented by journalists and players for making the players around him better.

Famous quotes containing the words style of and/or play:

    As the style of Faulkner grew out of his rage—out of the impotence of his rage—the style of Hemingway grew out of the depth and nuance of his disenchantment.
    Wright Morris (b. 1910)

    Come play with me;
    Why should you run
    Through the shaking tree
    As though I’d a gun
    To strike you dead?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
