In Sweden it's between him and Lidstrom. I believe at least one of the younger guys in this forum have him as their favorite player, Kriss E. perhaps? Foppa has a record in points for the Junior WC that will probably never be broken. He has more assists points than the second highest point player. I was fortunate enough to watch the Juniors in Sweden when he came through and you could tell he would be a good player. What a duo the Avalanche had with Sakic and Forsberg. I would have loved to see them play live.
Mario Lemieux, is my favorite player of all time.
One of my favorite Swedish players is Kenta Nilsson, even Gretzky said he was the most talented player he ever came across. The problem is that he was a bit lazy, sometimes great talents become a bit lazy. He didn't have the desire to become the best, he was playing because it was fun. Brett Hull's book mentions that Kenta hit the cross bar 5 out of 5 from the middle of the ice.
Here is that cross bar shot and some famous hockey players talking about Kenta.
Was not familiar. Very cool! Ty for the post and link my friend.
