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, style and/or play:

    Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    We are often struck by the force and precision of style to which hard-working men, unpracticed in writing, easily attain when required to make the effort. As if plainness and vigor and sincerity, the ornaments of style, were better learned on the farm and in the workshop than in the schools. The sentences written by such rude hands are nervous and tough, like hardened thongs, the sinews of the deer, or the roots of the pine.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano,
    A stage, where every man must play a part,
    And mine a sad one.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
