PETER FORSBERG wants to come back now too?!?

The Denver Post says Peter Forsberg wants to play in the ’09 NHL playoffs…for the Colorado Avalanche.

Peter Forsberg is recovering from – you guessed it – surgery on his troubled right foot and told Swedish TV show “Hockey-night” of his intentions this past week, also addressing rumors that he is part robot.

As for his wish to resume a very successful professional hockey career, Forsberg doesn’t want to come back for just any part of the season...

No sir, right to the playoffs, please.



Last year Forsberg racked up nine regular season appearances and appeared seven more times in the playoffs for the Colorado Avalanche after signing a one-year deal on February 25th. Even in that limited number of games, the 35-year-old still missed time due to various injuries.

After addressing his plans to play this season, the rumored cyborg also shed some light on how he was able to play with his wonky foot last year:


"(I had) a battery package hidden in my pants. When I turned it on, the foot straightened in the skates," Forsberg said. "It was kind of funny.”

If he could find a similar contraption for his back and his groin maybe RoboForsberg could play for a few more years!

I wonder if he thinks Colorado will actually make the playoffs.
