Why did Forsberg have so many PIMs for Modo?

[internet toughguy]

He averaged over two PIMs per game in the SHL compared to less than one PIM per game in the NHL.

What gives?

He was rather reckless. I think I remember some of the older guys having some bad words to say about Forsberg and some other player I can't remember who, that run over people as rookies. Thing was they did it caged so the older guys thought if they are not old enough to remove the cage they should play it a little easy. Something Forsberg was unable to do. But this is a long time ago so my memory can fail me.

Two words: Game misconducts.

Short temper?

Short temper?

Lol, classic.

To sum it up. MoDo have just lost in the Swedish final and Forsberg is a bit upset about the referee who he is say "Is so f-ing bad I should punch him". Then he is asked about the World championship now that Sundin have said he will play and Forsberg reply that he dont give a **** about that and all he is focused on is getting a shower and go home.

They call penalties differently in Europe.

Often happens to former NHLers returning to Sweden. They run their mouths a lot and refs are pretty sensitive here.
