Forsberg avoids second ankle surgery

The man known as the best hockey player ever, Peter Forsberg, recently avoided a second of two ankle surgeries he was supposed to recieve over the post season, and at the beginning of the NHL season (in July and about September). Forsberg had to have surgies performed on both his ankles due to inflamation, leading to his ankles being out of place. He always had pain in his ankles but always kept playing, and was still the best, but since he played with his ankles injured they just got worse until the point where he could not put his skates on because of his out of place ankles. The first surgery he had was a sucess and his ankle is fully recovered although he now has to rebuild the strength in his ankle. Doctors said in the end he only needed one surgery performed, which means he avoided his second one and instead of being sidelined until January, he can now start the season October 5th.

I am very happy that Peter does not have to miss any season games due to his surgeries. He has bad luck with injuries, but mostly just because he is very agressive and takes a lot of risks, which means more injuries. I hope he can play the entire season this year and have the most goals, assists and points in the league. I was very angry when I heard he would not be able to play until January, but now that I know he will not miss any games I'm happy. On another note, his teamate and linemate Simon Gagne just resigned with the Philadelphia Flyers (Forsbergs team) for 5 more years.
