Reporter: - Hello Kenta Nilsson!
Kenta: - Hey!
R: - What a wonderful hockey gala!
K: - Yes, I think it's fantastic, so many incredibly good hockey players who came.
R: - We start with perhaps one of the most important things tonight - did the right player win?
K: - Yes, I think so. I think so. Which category do you mean?
R: - We can start with "Lidas" (Nicklas Lidström) as "Player of the ages"?
K: - Yes, it's hard to beat his.. is it six Norris trophies? Had he been Canadian he would have won nine... So it's hard to beat. The merits are hard to beat, a great player. Forsberg was really good too, I think.
R: - When the TV images were cabled out here, when Börje was praised here at the gala, tears fell from many faces.
K: - Yes... that's.. what can I say. It's horrible. It really is. I think it's really horrible. I think about Börje every day. My legs are a little sore, but...
R: - What is your best memory with Kenta?
K: - With Börje?
R: - Yes, I mean with Börje.
K: - I played in the national team with him, I played against him in the NHL, and... fantastic person. So, my legs are a little sore here, but I think about Börje every day... my soreness is nothing compared to that. Damn it. Damn it to hell.
R: - When you saw him on stage now, how did it...
K: - Well, it's... it's hard to describe. That anyone should have to suffer from that. It's not just Börje, it's a lot of other people, 200 people in Sweden who get that every year. A horrible disease.
R: - Have you had the opportunity to hug him at all?
K: - No, I thought I would get to do that tonight, but he stayed away from everyone and I understand that... I love the guy and, I feel sorry for anyone who gets this disease. Damn it.
R: - Do you have any personal experience, someone in the family who had it before?
K: - No I have not. I actually don't have that. But I've read a lot about it... it's so horrible.
R: - What kind of greeting do you have for Börje if you don't run into him later tonight?
K: - I love you Börje! Fantastic player, thanks for everything you did for Swedish hockey, and in the NHL for us younger guys who came over.
R: - Thanks so much.
K: - Thanks.
Says so much about the Swede’s love for Borje to see a great player like Kent Nilsson crying for Borje like that. Very touching.
Du är också älskvärd Kenta! Grymt spel i NHL. Alltid magisk.
"Tack för allt du gjorde för oss yngre grabbar som kom över."
"Thank you for all that you did for us younger (Swedish) players that went over (to the NHL)."
Börje paved the way.
Kent "Mr. Magic" Nilsson ❤ Han gjorde en "Foppa" i VM mot USA 1989, fem år före Foppa. Så egentligen gjorde Peter Forsberg en "Kenta" 1994.
Något Arne Hägerfors tydligt sa då. Ulf Sterner och Kenta Nilsson.
I loved watching the Magic Man when he played for Calgary Flames in the early 80s, in the old Corral. Frustrating to watch at times because he had a wicked shot but always looked for the pass. He could bring the crowd out of their seats. Amazing talent!!
Så fint och vackert talat av Kenta ❤
Vi saknar dig Börje och både du och Kenta är så fina och ödmjuka killar 👍🏻
Jag delar tårarna med dig Kenta.
Kent Nilsson är min kille. Fan vad roligt att se honom spela
Kenta ❤
Mr Magic kunde lira hockey han back in the days ^^
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Ich habe Ihn betreut bei Kloten und war bei ihm zu Besuch in Sweden Magic Man😂😂
When Kent played for the North Stars, he was the highest paid player on the team pulling down $400,000 annually. Rather than waiting for his check, he would go into the North Stars office to pick up his check early. When he ordered a picture of himself from me, I told him it would be $42. When the picture was ready, he drove to my house and sat in his Mercedes expecting curb service. I walked out to his car and delivered the picture to him. He handed me two $20s and told me he'd get the remaining $2 to me when he had it. I approached him several times about the $2 in the dressing room, but he never seemed to have it. I'm glad that he had several nice things to say about Borje, but referring to Kent as the Magic Man? I'm sorry, but I'll forever think of him as the Cheap Skate.
Just.. wow.. all that anger over 2 dollars.
Oh, I'm not angry. I think it's funny that a millionaire would go to the trouble of ripping off $2 from anybody. When he goes out for dinner, I'll bet the wait staff loves him.@@azynkron
