Double Stanley Cup champion Gustav Forsling ended up in a rough patch in the last NHL game before the Olympics.
– It just happened that way. You’re only human and sometimes it burns, says the back.
It was in Florida’s heated derby against Tampa Bay that the fight occurred. A total of 13 players were expelled.
On television, it looked like Forsling was trying to avoid a fight with Tampa’s JJ Moser going into the final stretch.
– I was quite provoked, I tried to stay calm, but you can’t take any amount of shit.
In the Olympics, the rules are tougher for fights and Forsling has no plans for new fights.
– Of course you follow the rules, fighting is not something I usually do, he says.
He says about Sweden’s Olympic chances:
– Great, I think we have a great team and can compete with the best.
