That 2nd goal was amazing.

The entire game was on the NHL network yesterday.

Forsbergy would be near unstoppable in today's NHL. He almost always had a guys holding on to him and was still able to be dominant.

The reason he was so dominant was because he could power through that stuff when other playmakers couldn't. I would guess that guys like Malkin/Getzlaf would be far more dominant today if hooking and holding were still like that.

Why? The holdings and hookings were not called as much back then, so you essentially have to battle through even more back then to create a scoring chance in today's NHL...

Wow, that's some amazing hockey!

They would've been more dominant now compared to others if clutch and grab still would be in effect.

I still remember the night this was on, at some point I checked the radio (pre-Internet, for me anyways) and heard it was 5-0 Florida, so I went to bed early for school. Never been so stoked the next morning, Forsberg just went rogue.

Hi all.

I remember this game too. Bure and Forsberg crushed it this game. When Bure got hurt and left the game, somehow I knew this was a loss, even though we were up 5 - 0.

Forsberg just scared the **** out of me, and I knew the only way we could keep a lead was if we could out score the Avs, and the only way to do that was with Bure. When he

went down, I was like, ah ****. lol

Oh well, fun to look back on games like this.

Theo Fleury also made an appearance with the commentators and it was gold. Calling Bure a one dimensional player and such lol.

I should have put the Fleury commentary as a bonus. It was hilarious
