Avs Forsberg: not going to play

Wow. At first I thought maybe he was scared to fly over the USA every second day but then I came to my senses and really READ the article. His body is battered and beaten (he had his spleen removed in the spring after all) and he needs to listen to what his body is telling him. Rest.

I respect Peter's decision. I wish more pro athletes would listen to their bodies. (Eric Lindros, for example)
