Wayne Gresky: Så lite grann om vad man försökt göra åt skridskoproblemet.

"Q: What modifications were made?

A: "Peter’s mid-foot is wide and they opened up his skate at that point with a different wedging underneath. They cut the skate boot up top and down to the mid foot so when he tightens the skate it locks his foot in. Before when he would tighten it, his foot would roll out. We’re also going to go with a bigger skate to allow his foot to sit down deeper into the boot. They also gave him a custom orthotic to go with it. Not a radical orthotic, but a simple one that they can play with a little bit. Peter feels very comfortable with what’s going on and sees a light at the end of the tunnel."

Q: What’s Peter’s mood like right now?

A: "He’s definitely more upbeat. I don’t want to speak for Peter, but I think his mood..it’s positive."

Q: If Wednesday, (when Forsberg travels to Montreal to meet with the skate company) Bauer says they can make the right boot for Forsberg, can it be done in time for him to return Saturday?

A: "I would like to think so. The boot we asked to be built is being built right now. Now, they might have to modify it a little bit, but I believe they can do it Wednesday. Thursday Peter will be back at Temple at 1 pm to make sure it fits right and then he’ll skate with the team Friday. Hopefully he can participate Saturday. I’m not completely sure, but I feel pretty comfortable saying that."
