According to an article on the Globe and Mail Web site, Peter Forsberg's comeback to the NHL hit a big road bump on Monday.
According to the article, citing multiple Swedish hockey sources, Forsberg left the first practice of Sweden's national team due to his ankle. Forsberg lasted just an hour before stopping.
Forsberg allegedly apologized to people who bought tickets to see him play in the Karjala Cup for Sweden, saying that he "made a fool of himself."
The former Flyer had wanted to use the Karjala Cup to see if his ankle could withstand a possible return to the NHL. Philadelphia was one of the teams believed to be interested in the center if he could return.
Instead, it now appears that Forsberg will continue to medically treat his ankle in hopes of a return, which is starting to look like less of a possibility.
