Peter Forsberg Quotes (103 Quotes)

    I feel good and I feel confident that everything is going to be OK, and I have no hesitation going out there.

    I would feel the same way if I was the GM or the owner. I totally understand them. But I hope they understand me, too, that there's big pressure on me from Sweden to go over and play. I hope (Snider) understands that I play hockey to win. And I am proud to represent my country, and if I can, I will. I would not go if I didn't feel 100 percent because I know who's paying my salary and I have a responsibility here.

    What caught me was the team. They have a couple young great players coming up. They have big boys, skill guys, a good coach, an organization that wants to win and a good city. They've got everything.

    I don't know which gold medal was better. I was 21 back then but this definitely feels great.


    We're one point behind them and we've got one more game, so it looks pretty good. I think we showed everybody we can play good hockey for 60 minutes.

    I don't know if I feel the pressure that I'm the missing link, but definitely I feel that we are expected to go far in the playoffs. To win the Cup it takes some luck, but that's definitely our goal. We have a good team and have a shot at it.

    It's tough to win a game when you give up so many goals. We wanted to win, and even though we came up a little short, I thought we battled back hard.

    I feel good. We've had a lot of injuries throughout the year. Finally, we're a little healthy. I don't think they've seen our best.

    We had a great group of guys when I was there, five of us, I think. It's a great competition. Every practice was hard. I think that's helped us a lot, everybody that was there.

    Mentally, you hate playing against guys like him. He's not a guy you want to see lining up on the other side. He hits hard and he hits not legally every time, either. I think it's great we have one of those guys.

    It happened again here. Were not working hard enough. Theres nothing else to say. They were better. I thought we came in here with the momentum, but were just not playing good enough.

    We came out hard in the third and we deserved to win. I thought we were a better team today.

    The change has been pretty easy actually. We have a good group of guys and an organization that's similar to Colorado. It wants to win and it does everything to show the players and the fans that it can do that.

    It definitely feels better than it did in the game and it shouldn't be too long. It's just not good enough to go tomorrow.

    I thought I was going to be fine and I aggravated it. It's a little worse than a week ago. I didn't feel a pop, but a sharp pain.

    I'm not going to do it next time. You can't do the same move every time. Usually you put your worst shooter as No. 3 because he might not get to go.

    It's hard to see those guys lose a game, but somebody had to win the gold.

    I'm very, very pleased with the results. We got down here to get a second opinion and to make sure nothing else is going on with these groin strains, and there's nothing else going on. It feels good that I can get back and start skating again.

    It's OK. It's OK to play and I'm doing my best out there every night. It's feeling better and better. I'm not complaining. Hopefully, I'll be getting rid of the braces before the playoffs.

    Our goal is going to be to win the Cup. For me, personally, I don't really look around at what people are saying or writing or anything. It's just what we have to do as a group and how we have to achieve that goal. It's a long season and a lot of things have to go right.

    I played two games against these guys this season and they played well, I really have to say that, against us. We need to understand how they want to play against us and what they want to do with the puck if we're going to win.

    I don't know if he dove. I've played with him a long time. I don't think he dives. But it was a hard penalty to call, because it was the third 5-on-3 they called against us.

    It's tough, everyone feels brutal right now getting killed at home. We're out of the playoffs it couldn't be worse.

    I see scoring up this year but I don't see the numbers lasting. Personally, I think the high numbers are great. I wouldn't mind if Simon scores a hundred. It would be pretty good.

    We got away with two points. We've been letting up a lot of goals in the third period. We should have won the game in regulation.

    It's always good to get a goal on your first shift, but this was a game it seemed everything was going in.

    I felt good. I thought it was fine. Obviously it is not and that creates a problem. I still feel it. It's still there and bothering me.

    It's not only hockey, it's every sport. You know, it's a big event.

    Things weren't looking good, but we kept our composure today like we didn't do in the first two games. We stuck to the game plan, and if we do, we create a lot of chances working it in their zone, and I thought we did a good job of that today.

    All the teams that get in the playoffs are tough. Buffalo is tough and so is New Jersey and everyone else. We just have to worry about ourselves.

    It definitely feels great to be back in the final. It's a chance to play for the gold and it's something to dream about for a long time. The '94 Olympics was so long ago, I can't remember much about it. We were knocked out in the quarters the last two Oly

    I did that move once before and it kind of worked. I thought it was a good move today. It worked.

    I kind of knew this was going to be our last chance to win something together. We finally did it. It feels great. But I don't think there's going to be too many times we'll be playing together on the national team after this.

    I don't think we played real well. The last couple games we were sliding a bit and not playing smart hockey. We have been giving up the puck.

    Once we got behind 2-0 we started taking chances and that played right into their hand.

    Our rookies have carried us this season. And they look like they're going to be good players for a long time.

    I was shocked to see what was on the news this morning. I don't know anything about the whole situation, but he was a good coach when I had him in Colorado.

    I don't know if we overlooked them but we didn't play as good as we wanted. They came after us harder than we came after them. Maybe we were a little tired but that's no excuse.

    It should be OK. I hope I play Monday if nothing (a setback) happens. I didn't feel too much out there, and I'm not worried about it.

    We'll see how it feels by Friday. It's a hard decision to say no. I'm not going to rush to anything.

    It's a lot of fun to come home to Sweden. It might be a pretty long night.

    It's a little step back. I didn't want to stay out there and re-injure it. It was getting worse during practice and I didn't want to take any chances. It's very frustrating. It's bad timing.

    Usually, the good goal scorers, they are not just good at scoring, but they pay a price in front of the net. I think I see that in Simon.

    I think we all kind of bought into Hitch's system. All of the young guys coming up, they have been through the system a little bit and they play great hockey.

    We did a great job on the penalty kill. If we do that, it gives momentum to the whole team. Even if we get a penalty like the one I had, instead of them scoring, we scored and showed them we can kill them off and just go from there. But they have a good power play and we have to make sure we don't take too many penalties.

    I understand where he is coming from, I really do. Im in a bad position here, I know.

    It's definitely not the right time to get it re-injured and be out for a long time. Of course we're a little more careful because the playoffs are right around the corner. We have our playoff spot secured so we're trying not to take any chances.

    We've been down 1-0, even 2-0, in every game. It's definitely time for us to start strong. It's a huge game.
