Taking a break from football, some news about arguably the greatest hockey in the world; Peter Forsberg. I've always been a fan of Forsberg because of his ridiculous hockey skills, his unquestioned toughness and his ability to piss off Red Wings fans. I was lucky enough to see most of the games he played in Nashville, unfortunately he was no longer the player he was in Colorado, he could still dominate whenever he felt the urge.
Unfortunately for all hockey fans, Forsberg is probably out until Christmas because of his foot problems. According to the Rocky Mountain News;
"Peter Forsberg, the Avalanche's only remaining unsigned free agent, still is attempting to solve the foot problem that has been the root of his health troubles in recent seasons.
"Peter still has this foot issue," Don Baizley, Forsberg's agent, said Wednesday. "He has to have that resolved before anything is going to develop on that front. There's nothing new on that score at the moment.
"Peter has done some skating and he wants to play, but only if the foot is right."
Swedish newspaper Expressen reported earlier this summer that Forsberg would need several months of rehabilitation for a chance to salvage his NHL career.
The newspaper quoted Forsberg, 35, as saying he probably wouldn't be available to play before Christmas"

Forsberg is not one to lie about his injuries, he is one to get himself right before he plays again, and if he can't get himself right he won't play. You can watch a Forsberg commercial here:

HEY i just got educated a bit in Hockey, kewl cowboy~i actually never watch it, but cuz u blogged about it , i checked it out ........ see, you are a positive force for my universe babe ;0 !!!!
Glad I can help. When the Preds traded for Forsberg we gave up Scott Nichol, a good player who won't be an all-star but makes your team better because he's tough, mean, basically a little SOB. He was one of teh reasons the Flyers went so far in the playoffs last season. He is a guy I really miss here in NashVegas. Everywhere he's been he's been called a "Little Ball of Hate" because of how he plays and the fact that he's 5'-9" and 175lbs.
Later babe, I must make sure the Yuenglings are staying cold.
HA, another crash course.
Our beer stayed cold & that keg is gone this AM, i'm even up late, it's 8:53, that's late for me LOL! no hangover though cuz i woke up at 4AM needing advil & water LMAO! will send you sum piccies later.
