Foppa!!
Is it just me, or is anyone else completely amazed by #21, Peter "Foppa" Forsberg on the Swedish national team? The guy is absolutely amazing, holds on to the puck better than anyone I have ever watched, and is an assist machine, AND he doesn't mind playing hurt... Not to mention he made "The goal" in the famous Canada vs Sweden olympics for the gold medal that they made a postage stamp out of. I went to watch him play a game with the Colorado Avalanche when they came here to play the Blues, and he was scratched for the night..... (go figure).... Your thoughts on Peter the Great?

Peter the Great indeed! There used to be a terrific maybe 15 second clip on NHL Cool Shots of Foppa when he still played on the Avs, taking the puck end-to-end, against your Blues, when either John Casey or Grant Fuhr was in net, and faking him out, before ripping one right under the water bottle... The announcer's voice cheered "Oh......Forsberg......Thankyou thankyou...It's 3-2 Avalanche" I could watch that thing for hours.;)
