I was in net for...The Forsberg
/ cbcsports
He sounds like a really nice guy.
Corey is such an awesome guy. I know him personally as he and I have so much In common. Corey is my hero.
He almost killed himself
He’s Canadian of course he’s nice
Watching this as a swede was pretty fun: "Do you remember this goal?"
Shows the most famous ice hockey penalty in Swedish history
Corey Hirsch was a great hockey player and he does amazing work now in his post hockey career. He has nothing to be ashamed of and much to be proud of. We Rangers fans love you, dude!
He's awesome! He's helped so many people. The hockey world owes him alot.
Forsberg broke down his two shots in the shootout in an interview some time ago (moght have been in swedish) and when he’s goong to explaing why he did the forsberg he simply says ”I only had two moves and I already did the firat one”
Humble and eloquent.
As a fellow goalie I feel his pain but as a fellow hockey player I gotta tip my hat to Peter Forsberg for having the guts to try that move on that big a stage. Wow!
Force-Berg (like an iceberg ... only STRONGER!) has ice water in his veins. Such supreme focus, resolve, determination and Force of The Will.
RESPECT
There are and have been a few players that dials it up a notch when it really matters. They thrive on it. Forsberg is one of them. He absolutely hates to lose.
20 years old and in that situation most players wouldnt take a penalty but Forsberg did so much more than that.
According to Forsberg he only knew 2 penalty moves, and he'd used the first one in the first round, so here we go...
Corey Hirsch talking about Peter Forsberg says: "That's what great players do!"
...and it is true “talk the talk, walk the walk”, becouse it takes greatness to recognize greatness.
Word “compete” are the Latin con petire, which meant “to seek together.”
What each person seeks is to actualize her potential, and this task is made easier when others force us to do our best...
and in this best of the best millimeters a move is born. Move, magic moment, which became immortalized.
In the name of "pure enjoyment of the game" Thank You both, Hirsch & Foppa, for that magic move.
Amazing. And yes, game recognize game.
One of the absolute greatest hockey moments I've had in my life, is actually the season (I think it was 05/06) When Corey Hirsch played for Malmö Redhawks and they advanced to the SHL (Best hockey league in Sweden)
As this was the first olympics where the Norwegians really took us over in the Winter sports, Peter saved us Swedes by making the shot, as we could technically say we came home with 25 golden medals (one from each player on the hockey team). Great to hear Corey can look back on it and smile as well 😊
Well if Salo did not save after Forsberg penalty goal it would been a loss so give a little praise to Salo.
Meanwhile poor Joe Smith is out there just doing his best
he was a pretty good basketball player....
@@adamrasmussen9939 I ran into him in a Wendy's. Was average.
Corey is such an awesome guy. He is my hero.
Truth!
I think he is a comlete jerk for threatening the Swedish postal service with a lawsuit when they wanted to print a stamp with the genuine jersey colors. A cry baby which I have zero respect for.
Kent Nilsson "Mr Magic" did the same against USA years earlier
I think "Kenta" Nilsson actually was the first with that move. I can be wrong but..
Yes, the Swedish commentators during the olympics -94 said that also. "Foppa did a Kenta Nilsson"
@@fangofsilver5537 He was not, he was however the first on that kind of stage, just like Forsberg took it to another level in a shootout Olympic final.
@@fangofsilver5537 th-cam.com/video/QobAlzxDdXc/w-d-xo.html
@@fangofsilver5537 Kenta is the only one I've seen do this prior to Forsberg, but Swedish commentator Arne Hegerfors mentions Ulf Sterner as well as Kenta when Forsberg scored this one so it's possible he made this type of goal as well decades earlier.
"No matter how many times I watch it it always goes in" What an optimistic attitude! I'll get the next one! No wonder he was an Olympian.
I love this series, just found them and can't get enough. A+ to whoever thought of this as a format.
Love Hirsch's attitude and play by play. The thing is with plays like this, like he said millimeters made the difference. Like in swimming, sometimes silver medalists lose by 1/1000 second. That's sports.
Would love to see Patrick Roy on his last game with the Canadians, could be too soon still though lol
G7 2002 WCF as well.
Broke my heart. Hirsch was an awesome goalie. I am glad to see that he is getting some credit for his inhuman efforts.
inhuman? lol
Corey Hirsch if that's really you I salute you. You got up to one of the best players in the world, for sure you know it by know. I was a hockey coach in Modo when Peter, Marcus and Niclas growing up. Those guys took NHL with storm. Just look up Wayne Gretzkys words 😉
If that's really him?
May the Forsberg be with you
Lmao 😂
First one, nicely done!
You are a legend HERSHEY!! one of the all time great Kamloops Blazers!!
Couldn't agree more!
Personnaly, I loved forsbergs move. Ive been able to pull it off once (it was during practice) and it felt sooooo satisfying!
He actually borrowed it from Kenta Nilsson. But to pull that highly skilled and difficult move in a Olympic final.. yeah.. that is something else.
As a Swede, thank you Corey!
Cory Hirsch is da bomb. Super cool and not all full of himself.
Fact!
At first he was not happy being on the Swedish Stamp that commemorates the Forsberg goal.
Thank you, Corey Hirsch! That was f*****g beautiful.
Peter the Great!
I see a lot of comments that Kenta Nilsson was first. And that´s true but, Forsberg made it famous:)✌
Corey's article only appears briefly on screen, but I encourage everyone to read it at the players' tribune. (Dark, Dark, Dark, Dark, Dark, Dark, Dark, Dark)
“Atleast it’s not the Joe smith” lmfao
What a great guy / series!
Cheers!
I think it's funny when none Swedish people say The Forsberg Goal, when in Sweden we say Kenta Nilsson Mål (Goal) because Kent Nilsson did the goal before Forsberg when Kent did it against the USA year 1989. :P
It's funny indeed!
It’s like French Fries, they don’t call them that in France
Wrong. All of us who were kids or youths when this tournament took place called it a Forsberg move ("foppadragning").
The shootout-winning goal by Peter Forsberg was depicted on a Swedish postage stamp, featuring the image of a generic goalie because Hirsch refused to allow his likeness to be used. Sounds like he's pissed :P
Weeeell that's only human though!
Oh when that goal went in, I jumped up and down and almost fell over on the floor.. because this Corey Hirsch in the net was killing us the whole game. Now Forsberg had his mind set for the second time around in the shoot out and just barley made this deke of his work out. It ment we finally got the upper hand in the shoot out and Salo in our net could seal the deal. Well the rest is history. Cheers from Sweden Corey, you were a demon in the net and one great goalie!
"A move was borne"
Nope, Peter didn´t create the move, it was performed by Kenta Nilsson before him
"The Kinta" has a nice ring to it.
Every move has been done before it was famous by someone else. But to do it on that high of a stage is what makes it special.
@@scootsmcdoots80 yes, and in such an important moment
It takes a good goalie to demand that level of play from the likes of Forsberg. His role was really important!
Agreed!
Everything seems so fine and dandy BUT Corey threatend to sue the Swedish post if they didn't remove his name and changed the color of the jersey on the stamp. I don't know if he got the 100.000$ he wanted for beeing part of the stamp.
I'm not too sure about legalities but wouldn't yall be pissed if your likeliness was being used without your permission?
@@BoschThermador well if I was a officiell person as a hockey player in the olympics I would probably answer no on you question. The photo that the stamp was made from has surley a bigger world wide spread than a stamp in a small country like Sweden.
But my problem was that he didn't mention this in the clip. He made us belive that e had no problem with this. He is a nice person and I liked him when he played here in Sweden later on inhis career.
@@BoschThermador The owner of the copyright of the photo is the one who can have an opinion on how it is used. To threaten with a lawsuit was a dick move by Hirsch, and I hate his guts for that ever since.
It's funny how it's never talked about or mentioned, but this move by Forsberg on Hirsch wasn't what won the game or sealed the deal. The game wasn't over yet.
Goalie Salo's save on Kariya which happened after, is what won the game. Salo's save was the last thing to occur in the game, and yet it's completely ignored.
Thought this was Marian Hossa for a split second
Respect 🙏
2:24 That Forsberg impression lmao
🤣
Best move ever.
Right?!
Mario did that move long before Foresberg ever tried it
1990 All-Star breakaway competition, I’m sure Forsberg was watching.
As I recall, nbc covered the Lillehammer games. I was there, even tried to sell a ticket to one of their guys. Yeah, could not talk him into buying one. If you were in Lillehammer, the Captain Sweden guy with the flag on my back, Superman style, that was me.
CBS was covering the Olympics in the States.
@@Murph_gaming yeah. Funny though. NBC had their people all over the place. Can't recall seeing one single person from CBS.
@@beorlingo NBC didn't get the winter games until 2002.
@@Murph_gaming sure, I know. But they had a lot of people there. I don't question your statement that CBS covered the games.
1992 Olympics- Canada almost loses in qualification round to Germany in a shootout. They went to replay and could not determine if the puck was over the line.
1994 - Forsberg goal
1998 - “Let’s pick some players for the shootout on the bench if and when the time comes”
i saw this game, and it was the only gold medal got in that Olympic games :D
Alpine skier Pernilla Wiberg won a gold medal too for Sweden in the 1994 olympics.
Those Canadian jerseys are beauties
always boring to point out...i know forsberg made it famous...but its actually a Kenta Nilsson move that forsberg copied.
Go on...
@@CBCSports th-cam.com/video/QobAlzxDdXc/w-d-xo.html
@@jimbombadill There are many many things out there to be learned from, but only few are born into eyes of whole world.
“If I have seen further,” Isaac Newton wrote in a 1675 letter to fellow scientist Robert Hooke, “it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
As many people before him, Peter Forsberg says he learned!!!, he saw the move out there in the field.
If there was not greatness of Peter Forsberg challenged to show the best of the best milimeters by great Corey Hirsch in that specific moment in
time... this move would be just another puck move out there. (As proven previously by Kenta.)
Apple will fall anyways. What someone do with that apple move, is what makes all the difference. Read more "Apple Isaac Newton".
Gravity and apples are among many things out there to be learned from, but only few people have greatness to bring "that things" to eyes of whole world.
Lemieux did it too before Forsberg. Dunno why they call it The Forsberg.
@@jogendron6320 because he made it famous... quite sweet to fool the canadian goolie like that in an olympic shootout.
...and Peter's like, "I'll do it!"
My 3rd cousin, Jussi Jokinen, mastered that move... Not that I've ever met Jussi or he knows I exist.
Here's hoping you meet him at your next family reunion!
Now the move is really famous because of that move,
Truth!
What a great guy Corey send to be! Kudos!
Anyhow, Peter copied the move from Kenta Nilsson!
Dont get me wrong,i love Peter and his wolf eyes.
"A move was born"
Wrong.
Kent Nilsson in the 1989 World Championship vs USA is the original.
In Sweden it's called the "Kenta" move.
Maybe the move was "perfected"?
@@CBCSports Well, i'd argue no on that too.
Newer players are alot more clean than Forsberg. But no one ever won an olympic gold at 21 while doing it.
It depends what we call it here in Sweden. I'd say most people call it the "Forsberg move" (or "Foppa-dragningen") but people from the older generations call it the "Kenta move".
Kenta created the move but Forsberg made it famous
That was probably the best non NHL team that Canada sent to the Olympics. Losing the gold medal in a shootout was not a bad result. Later years proved that Canada is best when they can use their best. Won 3 out of 4 gold medals when NHL players were allowed.
The choke that defined Kariya's career moving forward.
How did it define his career... He's a Hall of Famer, last time i checked...
But the Steven's hit, sure did... Lost a good portion of his prime... Wasn't the same afterward, who knows what he could have been without those concussions...
No fault to Hirsch. It was a great move.
He was so close to saving that.
Best mask in NhL 97 👍
Can you do sid the kids golden goal
It actually should be called the Kent Nilsson...he created the move and did it first.
Bring back the old logo
Nilsson and Lemieux did it before him. Weird it’s called the Forsberg.
Back when goalkeeping was not about having giant pads that block half of the goal.
The good ol' days?
LOL, this was also the days when nobody could get the pucks off the ice, now they can pin point it anywhere in a net in a matter of seconds. I think the bigger gear is justified... plus these 80s tendys have GARBAGE fundamentals. Goalies are so much better today
@@R7U1LE Going down on your knees as soon as the puck enters the zone is garbage.
Gigantic pads, glove and blockers are garbage.
Letting in countless goals to the high side because you are constantly on your knees is garbage.
@@pumpkinking5174 Yeah u clearly know nothing about goaltending buddy
@@R7U1LE Ok pal.
Been playing longer than you been breathing.
Two errors in this video.
Forsberg has told the Swedish media many times that he specifically said that he didn’t want to do the first penalty, but had no say in it and did what he was told by the coach, Loob and Naslund. For the second penalty he thought that if he would miss at least Sweden wouldn’t loose, so he was more relaxed. (He has explained in interviews?
Secondly - He stole the move from Kent Nilsson. He has explained that too many times. It should be called the Kent Nilsson move. Not the Forsberg move.
Forsberg is the GOAT by the way.
Could this guy's be any nicer
Nope! Our hat's actually off to all the goalies who decided to talk to us for this series. Great dudes.
Whys it called the forsberg? Lemieux did it way before this
That’s the first time we’ve heard that one!
But hey! Sweden memorialized Corey on a postage stamp for his effort.
👍
I mean, the guy made it onto a swedish stamp.
Forsberg wasn't a good player he was a great player.
Kent Nilsson was the first to do it...
i think I seen that, although, Zhamnov did it at least 2 or 3 times before this.
By the Swedes🇸🇪
As a goalie myself it’s a game of luck. Albeit skill yields luck. Forsberg got lucky, the goalie didn’t. A couple more millimeters the goalie would’ve been lucky and Forsberg not so lucky.
The one consolation for anyone who has ever put on "the pads" is contained herein: All goalies go to heaven....All forwards go to hell! :-)
Spittin chiclets called, they want they’re schtick back
They're implies "they are" - it should be "their".
@@CBCSports haha touché
Zhamnov did it 1st
No. Not first. Before Foppa but not first.
Kenta Nilsson
Mario Lemieux
@Jo Gendron I've never heard of thoes guys
Olympics without NHL players are just pick-up games.
The way he talks about this makes me respect him so much. I didnt think this was gonna be inspiring but it was. Thanks corey
