Peak Fedorov was the best hockey player to ever walk the planet earth.
If you think that Fedorov was better than Orr so your logic and info are dumb but keep trying homer.
I don't know if space aliens are good at hockey so I'll leave them out of the conversation.
Jurys still out on McDavid.
I'm a Wings fan but live in Colorado I got to watch Feds and Fopa all the time
Feds > Fopa but its close.
As he continues to try to convince everyone else....
Nope you're wrong and everyone here knows it but you.
Bourque > Lidstrom period.

On Forsberg....
"He was the most talented guy I ever played with, for just pure raw talent. But more than that, he was a winner and a total gamer, he just wanted to win. He didn't care who scored all the goals or who got all the credit. He just wanted to win, and that's why his teams won as much as they did. We were all very lucky to play with him."
"He was such an unselfish player, he loved to setup teammates, he's passing ability was second to none. He created alot of empty nets for alot of players and im one of the big benefactors from him, I got alot of easy goals thanks to Peter. There was nobody in my era there that was as skilled as him and that could play that tough style of hockey and i know when see other friends, he's the one player they mentioned they hated to play against." -- Joe Sakic
"Peter Forsberg is one of the best hockey players that ever played the game, and I actually don't think that anyone has been so good as Peter was during his peak, I've played against him alot, so I should know." -- Vjatjeslav Fetisov
At the HHOF induction, was asked the question on which player he thinks it's the best he ever played against. -- I would probably say that Forsberg is the best player I ever played against" -- Scott Stevens
"Some of the stuff he does is just ridiculous. Jaromir Jagr is big and strong like Forsberg, but Jagr doesn't fight back if you play him tough like Forsberg does. "I think he's the toughest player in the game to play against." -- Derian Hatcher
"For me, an agitator is somebody who controls the emotion of the game," "And Peter definitely controls the emotion of the game for them." "The only thing that stopped Forsberg is that he ran out of gas when they double- and tripleshifted him, and he wasn't able to use his speed, plus his strength," Hitchcock says. "I remember one time he kept the puck in our end for 40, maybe 50 seconds, and we couldn't get the thing away from him. His ability to knock Derian Hatcher on his butt while giving up 40 pounds shows how he can completely control and dominate a game. He's a player with skill and talent who occasionally goes maniacal. Boy, he gets a really strange look in his eyes. It's like the same steely glare that Mark Messier always gets, and you don't want to be anywhere near him." -- Ken Hitchcock
"Obviously one of the best players in the league the last 15 years, a guy who really controlled the play when he was on the ice, and there's only a handful of guy's in the league at any given era that really, actually controlled the play when the're where on the ice, just his combination of skill, strenght, determinition, and a bit of meanness or alot of meanness actually made him one of the best players to play." -- Steve Yzerman
"Peter is the best all-around player in the NHL, bar none. He's a competitor. He's the ultimate warrior. His hands are electric. He's one of the smartest players on the ice, and he knows where everybody is. He always makes the right play, and he even makes the plays you don't think he can make. He's so fast on his feet and so powerful. And he's mean. The guy is so talented, he's disgusting to watch." -- Jeremy Roenick
"If you could be anyone else in hockey, who would it be?" -- "That's easy. Peter Forsberg," (Claude) Lemieux says. "I could still be mean and nasty, but if I had all of the skills that he has, I might have won five or six Stanley Cups by now. "I can only dream of skating like Peter. Either that or buy some rocket-powered skates." "(After seeing) a Michael Jordan or a Wayne Gretzky, you think you've seen it all," Lemieux says, "and then Peter shows you something entirely new. "It's the way he creates space, uses space. It's the way he sees the ice. It's the way he picks up speed even after he picks up the puck. And it's the meanness, the nastiness." -- Claude Lemieux
"He's a coach's dream. The more crucial the time in a game or a series, the tougher he gets. I think sometimes he's able to flip on a switch in his mind and be at a different level than everyone else. He is the strongest player I've ever played against" -- Ray Bourque
"Peter's ability to change the game was bar none, he could bring so many elements to a game to change it... My best advice when you're playing against Peter is to go change and let someone else play against him." -- Adam Deadmarsh
"The toughest NHL player you ever played against?" -- Quite easily Peter Forsberg. We have had our battles (he said laughing)... Forsberg was a one-man wrecking crew. He was so skilled and yet so powerful.. the man could simply do it all and at the same time he was hard as nails. He was extremely tough to play against. He was down right nasty." -- Chris Chelios
"Peter Forsberg's skills and determination made him one of the most powerful forwards in the NHL during the best years of his career. Hearing of his retirement is sad news but one day every athlete has to come to this decision. He should be very proud of all he accomplished throughout his career." -- Patrick Roy
"Peter has had a tremendous career. He's been a world class player, one of the superstars of the NHL. I've had the pleasure of playing with him on national teams and the gold-medal-winning Olympic team in Torino. It's sad to see him retire, but he wanted to go out on his own terms and I believe he's doing that. I wish him well in all of his future endeavors." -- Nicklas Lidstrom [/QUOTE]

Fedorov was unreal. There wasnt anything he couldn't do on a hockey rink. Behind gretzky maybe the smartest hockey player all time.LOL so Fedorov was better than Bobby Orr too? But it's funny that you only mention Yzerman as MAYBE.
What a homer...

So peak Fedorov was better than Gretzky, Orr, Mario Lemieux and Gordie Howe too and you still think that your logic and info are accurate? And you dare not pretend to be a homer.
Forsberg can't even touch the Big Four and he was better than Fedorov.

I don't have to convince everyone else about that because everyone knows that Bourque>Lidstrom but keep trying to think the opposite.

I've been mentioning this a few times but no one seems to give a damn, but that just tells us that some people, like that Angry Hank-guy, cant take stuff in and process it. Kinda like Trumpers

Being the smartest and the best player is not the same thing at all. Igor Larionov was a really smart player too but he was far to be the best.
By the way Forsberg was really smart too.

[mod] Forsberg was much better than Federov. Forsberg was a warrior, fought in the trenches (battled in the corners), did all the dirty work, strong as an Ox, had incredible lower body strength & balance, great edge work. Was an awesome playmaker, amazing poise with an unbelievable skillset. But when you think Federov is better than Gretzky, Lemieux, Orr & Howe you are in la la land.

Feds skillset was better then any player ever.The NHL has never seen a better skater period.Forward he was faster then everyone,backwards he was as fast as anyone..100 MPH slapshot.If you broke open a chemistry set and dumped in everything you need to make the perfect hockey player,Fedorov would come flying out of that test tube.
21 was great and its close, I no doubt give Forsberg the nod at being more physical.However when its said and done,Fedorov.

[mod] Honestly I think between these to players it comes down to preference.Everything you said about Forsberg is true no question.Ill still take Feds with his ability to throw the cuffs on Lindros /Mario etc with his unbelievable shutdown ability.
