fyi - this is a sarcastic thread.

Just thought I'd clarify that.

If the Flyers sign him after the olympics and he joins the club, he will get an instant standing ovation and would be a fan favorite immediately.

Injuries have been tough for Forsberg, but the guy loves to play the game and thats all he wants to do. I compare it a lot to Brett Favre, except Favre wasn't an injury thing.

Simply two icons of their respective sport who just love to play the game and never want to give it up.

That is what needs to be figured out, how healthy is he. Of course no one wants him back if he isn't going to play, what is the point? But if he can stay on the ice, even if he is banged up, he would still be hands down the best play maker on the Philadelphia Flyers roster. The big question is, is he healthy again? My guess is no, but I have seen stranger things.

All will be told during the Olympics.

And my point was not that I think they should or should not bring him back. My point was that your comment that you could count on one hand the amount of people who are not annoyed at the sound of his name, is incorrect. Many people would love to have Forsberg back on the Flyers for one last shot.

"That is what needs to be figured out, how healthy is he."

I want to Muay Thai kick people like you in the head.

Pardon me. I'm not mad at you. I don't even know you, so I apologize for the blunt remark. But the thickheadedness of "his" (I won't name him anymore) supporters is stupefying.

The man hasn't been healthy for years. There's NOTHING to figure out. We already know the answer.

i'm one of those guys.

regardless of his injuries, he was the most exciting flyer on the ice to watch in recent years.

sure it was a pain in the #### to see him in and out of the lineup all of the time, but you can't fault the guy for being built like a polish tank.
