As much as I love Peter Forsberg (he is my favorite NHL player of all time), he’s got it all wrong about the Matt Duchene situation.
Yesterday, news broke of a Swedish broadcast featuring the legendary Peter Forsberg in which he discussed his criticism over how the Avalanche are handling Duchene.
”Doubtful that he should be allowed to play (with the Avalanche),”
As translated by Expressen's Robin Lindgren, Forsberg went on to say,
“Put him in the stands. If I were playing with a player that I know doesn´t even want to be [on] the team, it´s not like he is going to throw himself on the ice and block shots with his head.
