OverPowerYou Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Someone needs to start a thread predicting when Forsberg tries to come back to the NHL again.
Bmwolf21 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Forsberg retiring again. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=353836 I'm disappointed, to say the least. Forsberg has always been my favorite player (except when he wore Halloween orange and black) but I am glad that he recognized that he is done and didn't drag it out.

Forsberg has always been my favorite player (except when he wore Halloween orange and black) but I am glad that he recognized that he is done and didn't drag it out. It is too bad. He did try a couple of comebacks, but he's hardly Brett Favre. He could have been the greatest of his years were it not for some injuries.
carpandean Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 Grabner and Stafford named as first and second stars of the week.
rickshaw Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 It is too bad. He did try a couple of comebacks, but he's hardly Brett Favre. He could have been the greatest of his years were it not for some injuries. Forsberg was a beast and I believe pound for pound the best player in the game for a time. Had he not gotten injured he would have been up there with the greatest ever. So much skill, nasty when he wanted to be, physical, good in all areas of the game. Hate to see any player's career cut short cuz of injuries.

I've heard other people try to draw a comparison between Forsberg and Fav-rah and the situations couldn't be more dissimilar. Forsberg never made any secret about wanting to play, it was just whether his foot would hold up. You see other guys in other sports - Yao Ming and Ilgauskus in Cleveland - who have had recurring foot problems and it kills their careers.

He could do it all - score, set up his linemates, play nasty, play the PK, PP, and when his foot was healthy he was a hell of a skater and very fast.

Yeah, I don't remember him ever actually retiring until just this week. It's crazy to think that a foot injury can derail a career so easily, but then again, it is kind of an important body part for a hockey player.

thesportsbuff Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 Burke says the third round pick from Philly is already in play towards another deal to bring in a roster player.
darksabre Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 Interesting hockey lately league wide. Leafs with an inspired win tonight, the young Islanders get another big win. Buffalo surging. Gotta love it!

inkman Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 Wow. I like buttfugly's game, but 5 mil per? NHL's leading goal scorer among defenseman. Sounds like a bargain, Campbell is making 7 and Rivet is making 3.5.
bunomatic Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 Wow. I like buttfugly's game, but 5 mil per? He's a killer in the playoffs. If they ever make it.

Stoner Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 I hope he recovers. He might be the best coach alive today. That seems like a very poor choice of words! :lol:

Eleven Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 NHL's leading goal scorer among defenseman. Sounds like a bargain, Campbell is making 7 and Rivet is making 3.5. Buttfugly doesn't always play D (I haven't seen much this year, though), and comparing him to two grossly-overpaid guys, who are widely known to be overpaid, well, does that really establish his value? Would you want the Sabres to spend 5 per on buttfugly, or would this be another source of complaint about overspending on mediocrity? I strongly suspect the latter (although not necessarily from you).
X. Benedict Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Halak for St. Louis just put on IR to miss Sabre game. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=354286
