Yeah, I can see Forsberg is coming from. There’s much more demand for scoring and speed, plus a greater emphasis on safety, health, new training tools and techniques, better equipment, and overall a rise in the quality of the players getting drafted/developed.
Ugh… I just agreed with Peter Forsberg. I need to scrub down with some bleach BRB.
I don’t think forsberg’s generation was less talented. There was more of a focus on obstruction and defense.
Shame on the NHL for tolerating the dead puck era. Clutch and grab became the name of the game while elite talent like Jagr and St. Louis became less valuable/popular. It even pushed Mario into retirement.
Eff off.
Modern athletes are better than predecessors as usual, more at 7.
Imagine Forsberg in this era. One of the greatest peaks i have been able to watch. If could stay health would be a top 20 all timer likely higher.
