This is a good thing as long as he is in fact healthy. If he skates and leaves half way through there are going to be a lot of pissed off Flyers fans.
Go Foppa (but not against the Finns of course

So what's the over/under on how long he lasts in this tournament.
I called it a week ago that he would play and get injured halfway through the first game.
Riddarn said:
I'll give him 4 periods. He'll make it through the first game but injure himself sometime between the start and the end of the second period in his second game back.

Dont get too happy. If the worst case scenario happens, Forsberg further injures himself and misses the playoffs, the NHL will have significant ammunition to argue against Olympic participation in the next CBA.
Riddarn said:
The minute i heard he was going to Turin i knew he was going to play. He wont give up the fight, this is the last olympics with the rest of the crew.
He will play as long as the swedish team will in Turin.

"I feel fine, I skated very well," Forsberg told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "I wouldn't be doing this if I thought there was any chance I could get hurt."

IF he hurts himself, hopefully he will be blacklisted in the NHL. Philly shouldn't have to put up with this stupidity.
Well Sweden needs to figure out someway to get solid play from their bottom pairing defenseman because if they keep playing the way they did against Russia, this will be a short tournament for the Swedes even if Peter is at his best.
At any rate, good luck to you Peter, hope you have a healthy and successful tournament...JUST DON'T GET HURT.

Anybody doubted this?
COME ON.
This was a show for the Flyers and part of a compromise when Peter agreed to reduce his olympic schedule and pass the first two games.
Do you seriously think the swedes would have reserved a roster spot for him if it were not certain he'd participate? Come on a country who has the luxury of putting guys like nylander on reserves has no need for that.
It's not like Forsberg is the only guy on team sweden who has any business playing at that level.
If germany had reserved 2 slots for hecht and sturm just in case they would be fit to participate in the QF, that would have made at least some sense. But sweden? give me a break.

Out of curiosity, if Pronger further injures his foot, should he be blacklisted as well?
Has Pronger missed 15 games this season? Was he out the 8 games prior to the Olympic break? Has he had foot trouble his entire career?Remy said:
