Forsberg proving to be a bargain
via Denver Post:
More important, with Forsberg in the lineup, the Avalanche has compiled a 12-3 record — and just upset the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.
Against Minnesota, he had four assists and a goal, despite being a constant target for the Wild.
“I’m actually feeling better (physically) than I thought I would at the end of the series. There were a couple of real physical games in Minnesota, but these last two weren’t as physical. I feel good. I didn’t think I had that great of a series, but maybe I’ll do better.
“I think being the first team to (advance) in the Western Conference is a positive for us. If you’re going to play a lot of games, you want as much rest as you can get, and we’ll have a few days before we play again.”
At $66,667 per game (so far), Forsberg has more than paid for himself — considering that all but three home games have been SRO for a club that was not selling out most of the season.
