Nalle Sjuh: Eftersom den där hockeybloggaren på AB verkar vara väldigt emot länkar och sånt så kanske jag får lov att klistra in den del av en artikel i Philadelphia Enquirer som handlar om Keith Jones och Foppas rundvandring i Philadelphia.

"Keith Jones and Peter Forsberg were standing outside the Capital Grille on Broad Street last weekend when four tourists, with cameras, walked by.

"This guy stops dead in his tracks and says to the group, 'That's Peter Forsberg,' " Jones recalled. "The look on his face - you'd have thought he had just seen the President or something."


Forsberg smiled broadly when asked whether he was recognized over the Labor Day weekend.


" I was walking around with Keith Jones, and I don't know if they recognized him or me," Forsberg said, laughing.


Jones, a former teammate of Forsberg's in Colorado and now a commentator for Comcast SportsNet, took the Flyers' newest center on a quick tour of Old City, Center City and Rittenhouse Square, where Forsberg is thinking of living. They also hit a few other spots - 32 Degrees, the Continental, and Swanky Bubbles.


"We went to some places, and from what I hear, this is a great sports town," Forsberg said. "People seem to be happy to see hockey back."


Jones wishes that more of the Flyers - all of whom live in South Jersey - would spend more time enjoying the city.


"I always thought that part of playing in Philly was being in Philadelphia," Jones said. "It's nice to see players hanging around downtown. They don't get to do it much during the season. In Peter's case, because he was a visiting player, the only part of the city he ever saw was his hotel.


"The impression I got this weekend was that he really liked what he saw in downtown. He seemed to enjoy the city."
