FORSBERG OUT

Training camp hasn't even begun and Forsberg's injured. He's had trouble with his ankles in the past, actually LOTS of trouble and unfortunately he's got problems there again.

Forsberg has an infected bursa in his right ankle and will have surgery on Monday, September 12, and will miss at least two weeks...

“If everything goes well with Forsberg the way the doctors have told us, he will get back in before training is over and be ready by the start of the season. Even though it is a little bit disappointing, it is something we can live with.”

Peter's left so much of himself and his body on the ice over the years that now sadly there's not much left to give. I think Philly will be fortunate to get more than half a season out of Foppa. That's really too bad because WHEN HEALTHY he really is in my not so humble opinion the best player in the world.
