You have got to be kidding.
This has nothing to do with who I root for, I might be a Rangers fan, but I'm a fan of the game too, moreso NCAA college hockey than pro even!
The issue here isn't whether Forsberg takes/gives hits, or whether he plays hurt, the issue is the he is a HUGE flopper, it's known throughout the league.
It's so well known that there is an entire site devoted to the Colorado DIVEalanche...
http://www.divealanche.com/1h_gloss.html from when he was playing there.
Check out the entry for "forsberg flop" :
Forsberg Flop (aka Floppa) -
To take a dive when there is no opposing player within five yards of you. Note: In some cultures the term is slang for loss of erectile function.
Yes, I know that that site is a joke but still, Forsberg is known for the "leaning into the defenseman and falling down" play, as well as throwing himself on the ice after being lightly touched.
The funny thing is that you accuse Jagr, Straka, Nylander and Hossa of being floppers
and then accuse me of not knowing hockey, pretty funny.
