Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted August 6, 2010 I just read an article on TFP that said Peter Forsberg could make an attempt at another NHL comeback. Well the Avs really have no available roster spots, but the article sites Washington among team that could target him, if he indeed makes a comeback. Discuss.

SweWings 45 Report post Posted August 6, 2010 Every year... at the end of every summer... this crap keeps popping up.

Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted August 7, 2010 Meh, more power to him. In the rare occasion he is healthy, he is still an impact player. Would make any team better if added for a Cup Run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blazer 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) I don't see why he has to retire from playing hockey when his last stint with Modo showed that he still could play. Playing in the NHL on the other hand, not to say for the whole season + playoffs, that I don't see his ankle (and other foot related issues) holding up. And I think he knows it too, or else he would have made a clearer pitch for it earlier, not to say already been signed. He might have been (still is) a hated Avs player, but for the recognition of the hockey player he is / was (depends on your perspective), I encourage him to extend his hockey career in Sweden and on the national team. For the sake of NHL, that is in my opinion a closed chapter and should stay that way, unless some crazy GM wants to roll the dices on a Cinderella story. Edit: Typing error.

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 He's only 37? Wow, maybe because he's retired 10 times already it seems like he'd be older. He's still a skilled player, but has he played 50% of a season in the past 10 years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 Yep. I wonder if he intends on returning for the beginning of the season or if he's content with joining someone mid-way through the year (Since half a season is all he can usually stay healthy for anyway) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice weather no matter what, lot's of people with rickety bodies for him to compare stories with and plenty of other entertainment like Miami Heat and Tampa Bay Lightning 1 CanadaBoy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 You guys need to chill. It's not like Forsberg calls media and says "hey I might make another comeback, write about it please!". From what I know, he has said nothing about returning to the NHL this season, it's all just media speculating. If ANYTHING was happening this off-season maybe they would write about that instead of Forsberg's theoretical return to hockey and/or the NHL. And you can't blame the guy for trying to come back when he feels he can still play hockey if they can just fix that foot of his. He's one of those select few players that can single-handedly make me buy a ticket for a game, so I hope he can play. 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
