Hockey:Forsberg Returns to Avalanche


The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that it has come to terms with unrestricted free agent Peter Forsberg on a new contract through the 2007-2008 season.

“We’re proud to announce to our fans that Peter Forsberg has decided to come back and play with our franchise where he’s enjoyed so much success early in his career,” said Avalanche Executive Vice President and General Manager Francois Giguere. “His addition should complement our roster and will bring our team to an even higher competitive level.”

“Over the last several months, I have worked extremely hard in order for this to be possible. I am looking forward to putting this jersey on again,” said Forsberg. “I have so many great memories of my playing days in Denver. I’m excited about helping my new teammates and former teammates in the coming weeks, and hopefully I am able to do that in the very near future.”

Forsberg, 34, was selected sixth overall in the 1991 Entry Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers before being dealt to the Quebec Nordiques on June 30, 1992. He made his NHL debut with the Nordiques during the 1994-95 season, where he tallied 50 points (15g/35a) in 47 games during the shortened season, earning him the Calder Trophy as the league’s top rookie. During his next nine seasons in Colorado, he would go on to win two Stanley Cups (1996, 2001); capture the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP (2003); and appear in seven All-Star games. During his MVP season, he led the NHL in scoring with 106 points (29g/77a) in 75 games. He was named a First-Team NHL All-Star three times (1998, 1999, 2003) while with Colorado.

Forsberg currently stands fourth on the franchise’s all-time scoring list with 741 points (216g/525a) in 580 career games. He stands first on the organization’s all-time post-season assist list (97); second in playoff goals (57) and points (154); and second in post-season game-winning goals (12). He owns regular season franchise records for most points in a period (5) and shares the record for most assists in a game (5). His post-season club records include most points in a game (5); most goals in a period (3); most game-winning goals in a series (3 done twice).

Over his tenure with the Avalanche, the club posted a 119-14-19-6 (.832) regular season record in games that Forsberg scored a goal.

WOW. His agent just came out last week and said he wasn't healthy enough to play, and that's why he wasn't signing with the Flyers. Philly is gonna be sooooooooo pissed. He better watch out for flying batteries if the Avs play there this year.

What a POS... coming out a week ago and saying he wasn't going to play...


Of course, it doesn't matter...
Add his injury history, The Av's injuries this year, and karma... and he'll be out for the season in days.

He wasn't fitting in at the Flyers. Don't know why but there was no symmetry between himself and the city and team.

I like the guy though and he's a hell of a hockey player. Good luck and sorry to see him go but probably best to move on instead of trying to fit a square peg in round hole.

The only reason batteries might fly is because Flyer fans are shit bags - seriously, Philly, need I say more?

It's not obvious?

he's an Av.

I mean, I'd love to be a fan of Stastny... but in the end, he chose to be an Av (drafting, schmafting... he coulda laid bricks rather than play for that franchise!)

Now I really wish I could see more hockey. Unfortunately, there's no Versus (obligatory Gary Bettman sucks!) here, so all I see is what's on NBC. I've seen more UNO games at Qwest this year than NHL games on tv.

Anyone in Denver have a Slingbox?


Love this quote...

Peter and Joe together again is exciting, but I still think it's a few years too laste for him, and Colorado doesn't really do well with Defense anymore, I worry for them. I think Pierre (the Carl Peterson of the NHL) made 3 too many bad trades in the past, starting with Eric LaCroix, then Chris Drury, Trading away every fighter, defenseman they ever had for what...?

I love 'em but I hate Pierre LaCroix now.
