by admitting i was wrong? you're right... people lack credibility when they fess up to errors.

Lion of the North said:Some quotes from the swedish doctors:
Translation:
The managment of "Tre Kronor" was hoping that six days of complete rest would heal up the small tear that was still visible on x-rays last sunday.
They were right.
Tre Kronor doctor Lennart Hovelius says that Forsberg is not taking any chances by playing.
- Not if we start easy (Forsberg is set on the 4th line tommorow against Latvia). Our judgement is that the groin is healed, there shouldnt be any problems, he says to TT (a news agency).
Leo Naphta said:I'm sorry, but I never saw such an admission.
Jester said:picked that up in a thread here somewhere... guess it was just the one in philly (which showed that it wasn't healed).
You are bending the words. Hovelius said 50/50 from his expertise on sunday/monday. That's at least 96 hours. He said that based on the test on friday.Jester said:great... i hope they're right.
i find it difficult to believe that a guy goes from 50/50 to no risk in 24 hrs.
for fun... lets start bringing up all the examples of hockey players that were medically cleared to play on groins that promptly screwed the thing up again... it's not a short list.
Jester said:oh... we're already praying, with good reason:

his groin problems AREN'T new, and they don't go away easily... the rest would have been the best possible thing for him.
No, but I bet he stayed at a Marriott Express last night.Leo Naphta said:Let me guess: You are no physician.

Janney17 said:Not at all a big Forsberg fan but this just stems back to what I have come to expect from Forsberg. If he could show the devotion for his NHL team that he does for his National team, like other players, he truly would be one of the best players of all time.
TK79 said:There's also a bigger picture here. Clarke and Snider were easily the most vocal owner and GM trying to pressure their players to skip the olympics. It worked on every Euro Flyer selected (Jonsson, Pitkänen, Kapanen, Handzus) except for Forsberg. The only reason they probably didn't try to get Simon Gagne to skip the games is the fear of backlash from the Canadian media. That's another reason i'm really glad Foppa did what he had to do..
Starshollow said:Forsberg´s got more heart than any other hockeyplayer alive, your smacktalk about "lack of devotion" cleary shows that you know nothing about Peter the Great.
