I'm tired of this guy acting like he's the queen of the ball. The NHL doesn't need him and his fragile bones. P.S. Does anyone else find it ironic that he filed a lawsuit regarding his racehorse that had to be put down because of a bad leg? I wish someone would do the same to him.

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 I honestly think he's done in the league. The window of teams willing to take a chance on his has just about passed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lets go pavel 2 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 i'm actually a bit disappointed ... i really hoped one of our rivals would shell out big time and count on him as their deadline acquisition only to have him gimp out ... now they may pick up someone who can actually play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 I hated Floppa during the Avs rivalry, the whining, the diving, but I think the grief he's getting is hilarious. Basically he called it off because he didn't have enough confidence that he would remain healthy. Isn't that a more responsible, professional move than signing a big contract and not being able to play? damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. The guy is a great player. It's too bad his career has come to a sputtering end like this due to injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turkey 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 Amen, Harold. This guy has become a whipping boy just because he happens to have played for the other guy during what is now a totally dead rivalry. I hope he makes his comeback but I'm not counting on it at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
awingsincebirth 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 I honestly think he's done in the league. The window of teams willing to take a chance on his has just about passed. Ya really. Even if he decides maybe he might want to come back next year, would anyone honestly take him after this soap opera. To think that there were teams (I can only assume) that were ready to shell out like $4 mil for this guy for NEXT SEASON. Whoever would have signed him just got a lucky bounce. Forsberg is, as I like to say, a Fanny Bandit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's too bad his career has come to a sputtering end like this due to injury. QFT in all areas. Since he wasn't going to sign with the Wings, I'm glad he's not coming back at all. It would be all the Wings needed for a team like Anaheim or San Jose to get him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormboy 47 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 i have to say that this conclusion is a bit hilarious after all the drama. it's over....or is it? mainly, i was just impressed that the TSN article used the word "wonky." kudos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 Maybe he's just tricking everyone, and he'll sign with the Ducks before their 1st playoff game, which will of course be after they trade for both Sundin and Hossa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 Not totally surprised. Petey was a great player (much as I hated him once). I am glad he decided to not take some team's money, just to wind up back on the shelf within a couple of games. Since he isn't coming to Detroit, I am glad he isn't going anywhere else -- just in case he managed to stay healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grittzkey 1 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 Classy move by Fopppa tbh. He could of milked whatever team gave him the biggest contract. and i read Chi-town offerd a huge on.. Proud of foppa for not letting money get the best of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Williams29fan 6 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 Well good, i didnt like forskin back in the 90's with the Avs, still didnt like him in Philly or Nashville! I was so happy when he told the wings no. I can only hope that no team will make an offer next season. w00t! Forskin is washed up and done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LivingtheDream Report post Posted February 19, 2008 And we though Federov loved the drama? Foppa takes the cake. God, what a prima donna. I don't care how good he was or still is, he is a drama queen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueMonk 102 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 As long as I don't have to hear about this motherf**ker riding the fence about whether or not he's going to play anymore, I'm happy. He makes Brett Favre look decisive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
