player update

We do actually have a hockey team in Nashville, not just a franchise that is being fought over.

The Timmins Daily press is reporting on its native son, Steve Sullivan, and his recovery from back problems that kept him out of the later part of the season and the playoffs last year. No huge updates from what i can see. The article itself is truncated for their online version, though Kuklas Korner has some other excerpts cited as well.

Basically it looks like Sully is doing well, but they are still having to work on his back.

In semi-related news: Peter Forsberg is going under the knife again. Doctors in his native Sweden will be working on his foot to see if they can rebuild the thing. I personally doubt he will play hockey next year, and if he does it will be for Colorado, making a rousing 'come back' in January or so. He doesn't have full seasons left in him, but there is no question he was still a very good player for us last year at season's end and in the playoffs. Sadly, i think one of the biggest factors in his wanting to return is that he won't want to retire with his last moments having been playing for a team for 2 months, getting knocked out in the first round, and sitting out the final moments of his career (literally) in the penalty box. Not a way for someone like him to go down.
