Default Peter Forsberg's one-handed backhand is better than yours

I don't think it's any secret that Forsberg is my all-time fave, but I don't even care. This is just ridiculous.



I'm obviously biased, but I think this is even crazier than Nilsson's crossbar clapper from the redline.

I would assume Peter Forsberg's everything related to hockey is better than mine.

I ended up clicking through on a couple other videos of him, and there's a documentary in part English and part Swedish. Someone in the comments translated part of it, saying his foot got so bad during a game that he literally put a nail through it to keep it from moving around on him, only to realize he'd left his painkillers at home...

I have to admit I never practiced this, so yeah, his BH is better than mine, for now.....

And the other guy, Gunde Svan, isn´t bad either.... Six olympic medals (4 gold, two of them in Calgary), eleven world championship medals (7 gold) as a cross-country skier... More famous in Sweden today as a tv host, but was huge during the 80´s...
