When Roy called out Forseberg…
I don’t know if I told the story, but you know, one year in the class, you know, we we got knocked out, I think 99 against um Dallas and the next year I was going to, you know, cuz I was running out of gas and when we played the last couple games, I was um had to have an IV cuz I was uh you know, fainting after one game. I was just running out of it was hard to play in Dallas. So, I was going to take it easy against San Jose. We won the first two games and I thought, okay, I’m going to take it easy to save some energy. And then we lost the next two games. And I can remember Hartley coming in the dressing room like and asking like, “Hey, hey guys, why are we losing?” And Patrick, you stood up and just pointed at me like that’s he’s fault like that. He’s not even trying. He had full control. I think he saw everything and I had to stand up. You know, I apologize. I you know I last year I was you know game six and seven I was out of gas. So I was going to save it for the semi-finals and he’s like there’s no saving at all. And okay, I get it. Let’s play hard the next game. And then we actually won 4-2. So had a goal and two assist the next game.
Patrick Roy didn’t care who you were — even Peter Forsberg wasn’t safe. Forsberg tells the story of the moment Roy called him out in the locker room.

Man, this is quickly becoming one of my best subs, great channel. 👍
Always defended the Lindros trade because the Nords owner was terrible but even though BIG E won the MVP at 21, Forsberg was the better/more sustainable all around player. He was GREAT
If he couldve stayed healthy,
Forsberg wouldve been one of the all time greats. He was a great player but his wheels came off too soon.
He told this one on spittin Chiclets I believe and it's still funny
He was so strong. Hard to believe he would run out of gas.
peter forsberg pour moi c'est une véritable grande légende du hockey selon moi c'était mon joueur préféré de mon enfance.
