Floppa to retire today.

Avalanche's Forsberg to announce his retirement on Monday

 

[TOX1]

Shocking..

 

[dash]

I was worried that he would light the lamp against the Flames tonight...

 

[SLY]

What a joke.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Hoping he plays tonight at the very least. He needs a game in Denver.

I like the Avs new gimmick. Every week it's "Bring Back Old Players Night!" Sakic will play a game this week, Roy to play the following...

 

[Ho_Brah]

I can't wait for them to bring back Claude!

 

[puckhead]

so long Foppa. you were pretty dominant in your day.
a diving shit-stain at times, but awfully good when you played the game right.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

LOL! Does he still collect his 1 mil?

 

[KillerVee]

What the fuck? What was the point of that?!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

On a more serious note, I'm really fucking pissed. I just bought an expensive Forsberg jersey online to burn later and now I hear he's no longer even on the team. This sucks.

Is this a thread that was bumped from 6 years ago?

 

[Ho_Brah]

well my thoughts on this, at least he tried to make a comeback and is man enough to call it quits before he made things worse for himself & the team. I wish him well and thanks for all the good memories.

I understand not wanting to give up the game but he had to know it wasn't going to work earlier. What was the point?

Everytime the Wings & Avs got together it was great. Yzerman & Fedorov vs Sakic & Forsberg was unreal.

I think the Pens & Isles need to meet in the playoffs. My team needs to get better fast.

He must have thought that he was hurting the team. Has to be fairly healthy to play 17 plus minutes a game. Getting in shape is easy. Getting into NHL gameplaying shape, not so much. I think he would have been better off going through all of training camp. But I guess the clock ticks too fast at that age.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

He should have retired before Babe Ruth

My thought on this is he's a moron who made all this fuss about coming back after so long to hang it up after 2 games shows he's either a self centered attention whore who wanted the spotlight again or he didn't take the training and dedication aspect of it seriously enough.

Either way, he's a fucking retard who has completely destroyed any respect I had for him. Which was very little after the last time he pulled this.

As Urban Dance Squad said; "What a drag, to see an old bag - Sweating and faking, for a comeback."

ok so hes over 35. does that mean his entire $1M goes against their cap or is that only for a multi year deal?

only multi-year deals

 

[falconski]

only multi-year deals

not that it really matters anyway since the avs are nowhere close to the cap
