Birth and Death of the Day did it for me - Explosions in the Sky really just made this that more epic - made me feel like a kid again - #21 in Col and then for my Flyers...good times
@bahylols the band is called Explosions in the sky. Don't remember what the song is called, but it's probably from the new album. They're almost as good as Forsberg, almost...
I was there. It was cool. However, seeing my Red Wings destroy the Avalanche afterward was cooler---especially after hearing Forsberg make that comment about the Red Wings.
@Crymson1 oh how cute a troll, how are you little guy?.....in all seriousness though since when is 3-0 destroying? one of the goals was an empty netter
@nevertweet015 I'm a troll? Did you miss the part where I was at the game? I'm a Red Wings fan.
The game was over by the end of the second period. The Red Wings put on a clinic. All of the obnoxious "Red Wings suck!" chants dissipated completely.
@Crymson1 ya a troll there was no need for you to place that comment on this video(a Forsberg tribute that mostly avalanche fans will watch) and the game was not over after the second Varly kept it close, the only reason you posted was to get a response and I guess I gave you one so congradulations
Its been said many times, but imagine if he would have had a chance to play a full 20-season carrier, the stats he would have put up and all the amazing plays he would have put up..Anyways, this guy is my nr 1 inspiration in life, off the ice hes the sweetest most sincere guy, but on the ice..Well, just watch out. What a winner.
Great speech, what an hero!

Such a great player, such a great man , Peter Forsberg you will remain invincible for eternity in my memory !
Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg had sooooo much complicity , that's really beautiful to see how strong friendship Hockey creates.
I loved the moment he said : " I could never have asked for a better teammate and friend , thank you joe ! "
And they show Sakic , if you look at his lips he's saying : " You're welcome , you're welcome my friend"
