from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
It looks as if the much-anticipated Peter Forsberg comeback has hit a bump in the road.
According to two independent Swedish ice hockey sources, Forsberg left the first day of practice for Sweden’s national team that will compete later this week in the Karjala Cup after about an hour, saying his problematic ankle wasn’t holding up.

Thanks George and this is the reason I have been keeping all the Forsberg talk to a minimum.
All the rumors, all the talk put the cart in front of the horse….

No problem, Paul. It was a pretty safe bet that Forsberg’s ankle was going to act up again, and it’s really no surprise that he’s distraught…
He’ll probably give it another go in a few weeks, and the rumour mill will start again, but predicting whether Forsberg will return is kind of like guessing what Michigan weather is like at this time of year—wait five minutes, and he’ll change his mind.

An old hockey player called Foppa
Desires to play and not stoppa.
“I’ve tried but I’ve failed,”
he recently wailed,
“I’m afraid that my comeback’s a floppa.”
