TEAMS: Detroit Red Wings, Phoenix Coyotes, New York Rangers
Red Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg was born and raised in Sweden, the same country that produced future Hall of Famer Peter Forsberg. Zetterberg grew up idolizing Forsberg so it shouldn't come as much surprise that he plays a similar style of hockey. It also shouldn't come as much surprise that Zetterberg has learned to perfect the shootout move that Forsberg made famous back in the 1994 Winter Olympics.
Henrik's Forsberg imitation would likely impress even the man himself. You gotta feel a little bad for Coyotes goalie Mike Smith after that incredible effort, there wasn't much he could do and you can clearly see how dejected he is immediately after. This comes just days after Smith made an incredible stop on a penalty shot attempt by Marian Gaborik, so the guy is no scrub. He just didn't stand a chance here.
