I'm really really torn by this McPaper report, because it's bad form to gloat over a rival's potential career-ending injury (especially since The Captain is in a similar predicament):
Colorado Avalanche fans may have seen the last of Peter Forsberg.
Forsberg suffered a concussion Thursday while playing in a postseason game for MoDo of the Swedish Elite League and may be contemplating retirement.
In his first game back from a broken wrist, Forsberg was cross-checked by Peter Norstrom on his second shift of MoDo's 5-4 loss to Farjestad in the league quarterfinals. MoDo trails in the series, three games to one.
Nordstrom, who appeared in two games with the Boston Bruins in 1998-99, was penalized on the play and ejected.
But it's the Divealanche, so, yeah, I'll go there:
I wonder how close Nordstrom skated to Forsberg to knock him down and give him the concussion?

Nordstrom was probably still in the locker room at the time....
