Forsberg's "Quarterback" pass to Blake

[dalookythere]

Isn't that a two line pass ? I know that rule doesn't apply anymore but this is pretty old. It's still really great though

[goodhitsofthesummer]

@dalookythere well the puck was over the red line before rob blake so.

[Bardeezyy]

sauce.

[skinscapsbombers]

That was an absolutely amazing play, but wasn't it a two line pass?

[Skrangelben]

@skinscapsbombers

No. When the pass i made Blake is in the same zone as Forsberg.

[skinscapsbombers]

@Skrangelben aha. Thanks for the assist. I obviously didn't think about that. I'd forgotten exactly what the rule was for the two line pass.

Who was responsible for making Steve Levy the announcer? He's a good analyst/sportscenter host but man he needs some work on his play by play

[Capesports4]

Legendary

[cyborgdata]

forsberg = one of the best pure skilled players ever.

[itsthizzbaby]

shot and a score ;)

[Faeiv]

@generationtim Um, have you ever seen Henrik passes? He might not have as many assists as Forsberg but he makes passes that are unbelievable. Forsberg was amazing too but he had quantity over quality while Sedin has quality over quantity.

[Oll3EK]

@Faeiv Oh please, I've grown up watching both these players. Henrik sedin are not even close to having the pure talant Forsberg had. Forsberg could dominate games with his physicality, grit, determination and pure skill. If you really think Forsberg had quantity over quality then you know nothing about hockey.

[MartinReinholdz]

As we name it in sweden, Fan vilken smörpassning!

[Faeiv]

@CullTheLivingFlower Doubt it, Henrik has made much more beautiful passes before.

[generationtim]

@Faeiv Canuck? No one was better than Forsberg in his prime.

[dbew22]

oh my god sauce

[kickapig10]

"and a score"… serious?

[MrJopeli123]

blake has a big curve

[Slahshz]

sauce.

[Vanodi]

That pass... is.. fucking... perfect. holy mother of god.

[littlelumbeee]

what a slash by the defender

[Kenevin]

@littlelumbeee That was hooking.

[CullTheLivingFlower]

Damn, even Henrik Sedin must be jealous of that pass.

[Cegrell]

*wild opportinity appears!

Forsberg uses "långboll"

It’s super effective!

[EnsaiyaN]

the nhl needs more players like forsberg

[drakesmithmarshall]

Forsberg used to play soccer as a kid, this looks like something that would happen on a soccer pitch.

[ragecave518]

@drakesmithmarshall agreed, i played both growing up. it's surprising how similar they are when it comes to spacing and movement.

[MrJlumanji]

Forsberg is a beast. too bad his body gave up on him.

[marinmb44]

i wish there was a TSN top 10 video that has goals like this. i love the long plays :D whatta pass!

[joshpeckrocks]

incomplete pass

[cokeworthy]

you can't teach/coach shit like that

[Funebrae]

Nice goal by Blake & what a pass by Forsberg but Hannan played like an idiot on that play! He should have received a slashing call if Blake had missed out!

[forsbergisgod]

tsn costantly disses and forgets forsberg ,{10 most skilled, what a joke } top ten innovative plays and it took an ex goalie to come out and say hes one of the best of all time, {mclennan}

[phillytheflyerable]

@forsbergisgod when did he say this?

[Mirastml]

Genius!

[nevertweet015]

sad that Kopitar is now givin credit for inovating this move....

[templetonbob]

@nevertweet015 Who the fuck gives him credit? Forsberg wasn't the first person to do this either.

[nevertweet015]

@templetonbob lots of people including TSN when they made their top 10 inovative plays kopitar was given credit as the innovator I was thinking you know Forsberg's done this before right?

who was the first person to do the flip pass anyway? I just know it wasn't Kopitar

[Tbagurdrumset94]

check 0:04

nhl reffing pre-lockout was brutal

[buddhistgangstamonk]

Slashing as well impressive.

[titan045]

...AND A SCORE!!!

[TheCanucks67]

Shot and a score!

[PaTgEhAn]

saaaaauuuuse

[sthlm08sthlm]

Snacka om innebandypassning ;-)



[stockholmsgraabb]

@sthlm08sthlm Fotbollspassning mer tycker jag :)

[m420carbine4]

that's were the gold old days of risk taking hockey players

[SpAnKYnation44]

@m420carbine4 Agreed! Look what we have here. It's a forward passing ahead to a defenseman. How crazy is this? Great comment. We will miss guys like them.

[renegadeking4]

... and a score! 0:08

[TNfelldin]

great quality! wich season is this from?

[Christianpuck7]

unreal sauce, but props to 22 on SJ for chop of the decade

[Ed0n]

pure beauty, i use to use this type of pass all the time, very effective and frosy put it to good use with perfection. 10/10.

[ikemoikka]

How about that hooking and slashing by Scott Hannan :D xd

[dieihateyou]

Isn't that an illegal pass? As in it's over more than two lines?

[MuffinKaze]

@dieihateyou

...the only reason why I'd say no....is because they start out in the same zone......

other than that...i had the same thought so im a little confused

[dieihateyou]

@MuffinKaze Yah, I'm not THAT familiar with hockey rules, but it seems odd

[patmac40]

@dieihateyou @MuffinKaze It was probably seen as a dumping play instead of a pass that ended up on blake's stick so they just didn't call it

[patmac40]

@dieihateyou @MuffinKaze actually looking at it again, blake was in line with forsberg when the pass was being made so that's why it wasn't 2 lines

[G0odf3lla]

Forsberg > Manning

[WiggityW]

this defines sauce

[phille22]

that is genius. Blake is in line with Forsberg when Forsberg throws the puck. yeah, genius

[Amenduuu]

Awesome!

[DCShoesSkater]

wat a pass
