Forsberg Back By The Morning?

Rumor is that Forsberg will make his decision on whether or not to come back to the NHL this morning(2/25). Apparently if he is coming back he's made it clear where he'll be playing and for how much with which ever team it is, deals done. More rumors are circulating that Foppa will announce he's coming back to the Flyers. You have to think the Flyers pushed for this, losing Mike Richards for at least three weeks and now needing a Center who can contribute more then a call up(Richards was leading the team in ice time). Will Forsberg coming back solve anything? Hopefully. Will Peter become a distraction like during the end of his first tenure in orange and black? My guess is no, I know A LOT of fans have been worried about it, I've actually answered a few e-mails regarding that topic in the last couple weeks. I think there are too many veterans on this Flyers club and knowing Forsberg is back could really jump start everyone. I think he could really help Danny Briere out of his funk he's been in so far this season. And also knowing they have even more fire power returning soon as well on top of Forsberg could really get these guys going when they get a couple of wins under their belt. Remember there are still 20 games left, and it's how you play going into the playoffs that usually determines the rate of your success in them.

On the BY THE WAY WIRE:

• Looks like it's official Philadelphia will be home to a expansion MLS team. The stadium will be built on the Chester waterfront, and I know what your all thinking, Chester? Really? Yes. Seems as if the soccer stadium is only just a small piece of the overhauling of Chester. The water front will include restaurants, hotels, bars, shops all sorts of neat things.

• And Drew Rosenhaus agent to the stars said recently in an interview what we already know, that the Birds will release Jevon "Huge Disappointment" Kearse.

• Plans for the Sixers to play one more game in the famed "Spectrum" are in the works and apparently it's just small details that remain. Wonder if the Flyers will play one too? Seems easy enough as there is already a rink set up in there. I would feel that if Ed Snider was so interested in the Sixers playing there one last time, he'd also what the fly guys to do the same.
  

• NHL Trade Deadline is at 3pm on Tuesday , lets hope theirs is more eventful then the sixers.
  

• Anybody checking out the NFL Combine on NFL Network? It's awesome! I mean you gotta be a real dork to enjoy it, but it's great.
