People often forget that Erat was a pretty consistent top 6 forward for a long time before that trade.

It just had no business happening at that point in his career.

This series has zero momentum game to game. I've never seen anything like it. It's as if the previous game never happened.

How could the Caps trade this gem away for nothing?

I thought his other goal was better.

And nice play by him on the open net (with 4 minutes left).

Now, I'm off to cry myself to sleep.

Thursday will be interesting.

Ridiculous goal.

Poor Hellebuyck had no idea where that puck was going. He tried to get big at the same time he dropped the glove hand. A brave effort.

Eh he was on a slightly better than 40 point pace( with powerplay time) when he was moved, most people hated the trade at the time

Edit: i see you specify "at that point" I just think its a weird call to even slightly defend one of the worst trades ever.

 

[TNT87]

Sweet.

The second coming of a Forsberg. Kid only keeps getting better.

 

[sr edler]

He didn't beat the goalie clean, so no beauty.

They got the dying legs of Erat. That's something.

WSH vs. NSH finals would be awkward...

 

[Slimmy]

The first one was even better. Scrambles to the bench to pick up a new stick, receives the pass a second later and then scores a beaut. Damn, he is one electrifying player.

How many highlight reel goals has he had this playoffs? Should change the title of the thread to, Filip Forsbergs Playoff highlight reel goals and post them all.

Prior to the trade year:
5 seasons with 50 or more points
3 years with 49 points

He was a consistent ~50-55 point per season (15-20 goals/season) winger. Washington just really overpaid the trade looks worse considering that Erat never managed to get his game back after some injuries around 2012-2013

 

[Newsworthy]

Brilliant goal.

3-4 i think

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Sounds suspect.

Has to be one of the stupidest trades in recent years. I just don't see the reasoning behind it and how everyone in the organization wasn't doing everything they could to prevent the trade.
