FORSBERG READY FOR ANOTHER COMEBACK IN SWEDEN

"STOCKHOLM - Peter Forsberg is set to play for his hometown team Modo in a Swedish Elite League home opener against Frolunda on Thursday in yet another comeback attempt following a lingering foot injury.

The former NHL MVP has practised with the team since early August and also played two games during a pre-season tournament in Switzerland a month ago.

"I really played awfully and I was ready to quit," Forsberg said on the team's website. "But I've felt good recently and I'm ready to go. If I have made six or seven comebacks before, I suppose I can make another one."

Modo gave the 36-year-old Forsberg a one-week tryout contract. That means he'll play at least three games. He can play with Modo until the NHL season begins on Oct. 2 without jeopardizing a possible comeback in the NHL."

...guess he's trying to qualify for the Swedish Olympic Team and/or a return to the NHL.

Give it up, already.

Enough is enough... Give it up Pet, you had a good run but now you have a limp paw. I mean unless they fit you with a titanium skeleton and hydraulics, your foot will never be the same. Come back as a consultant or coach.

Hate to see the guys linger on and damage their reps. that's why it was good that Gretsky got out when he did so he didn't end up fat and funny like Elvis did.

Poor Foppa. Hockey is his life, and he doesn't seem to know what to do without it so he keeps on keepin on. That, or he needs money.

Surprised Forsberg isn't in a wheelchair now.
