Peter Forsberg apparently will not be having surgery on his other ankle and will be back in November if not earlier for the start of the season.

Peter Forsberg – It’s been a hard couple of weeks now. Not to do the second (surgery) is great. Knowing that I might be back for the beginning of the season is great, too.
Knowing that you’re going to miss half the year is hard. It feels great that I’ll be part of the team right at the beginning of the year.

Bob Clarke – After the doctor’s visit today, we were told that his left foot is only 10 percent of what his right foot was and that his right foot is a month ahead of schedule. We expect he will be able to start skating in September.

I just hope he does not rush the rehab. I would rather have a fully healthy Forsberg going into the playoffs than Forsberg the entire season in and out of the lineup with injuries.
