I do not know what to think about this story. Apparently, Forsberg played in only two NHL games and then decided that he has had enough with the game. I can kind of see where he is coming from but if you are having severe pain in your foot (like he had) why return back? your only going to aggravate it even more. I think that there was no shame in retiring honestly because he had a good career as an NHL player. He was considered to be one of the best two way players when he was playing. Next season, Forsberg is going to have his number retired which is good. Forsberg helped the Colorado Avalanche win Stanley Cups in 1996 and 2001 but the foot problem that caused him to retire was bothering him since the 2003 playoffs. Forsberg said that he wanted to be remembered as person who gave it his al everytime that he stepped on the ice. Good career Forsberg. Next stop, Hall of fame!
