Player Profile: Nick Forler
Nick Forler returns to the lineup on October 28 after a week long recovery from a "lower body injury".

We spent a little time with Nick talking about hockey.

Hockey history:


1) How old were you when you learned to skate and how long did it take you to become faster than your dad?

"I was three years old when I learned to skate.  And I think I was three years old when I was faster than my dad."

2) Everyone remembers their first goal. Paint me a picture and describe your goal and the celebration after?

"One knee fist pump for the celebration, it was six years ago, I received a pass from from a winger, dangled through the defense and put it top corner."

3) We all carry the guilt of a shameful penalty. What's the worst thing you've done on the ice?

"I got a tripping penalty once.  The guy was coming in and I hooked his knee..."

4). Our pregame rituals are very important in gaining favor with the hockey gods. What strange thing do you like to do before every game?

"I usually stick handle for five minutes before every game at home."

For the love of the game:

5) Which currently playing NHLer do you like to watch the most? Who inspires you to do better?

"Right now it's Alexander Ovechkin because of his shooting and speed."

6) If you could center a dream line in the NHL today, what four other players would you want on the line with you? Current or past players.

"I'd pick Wayne Gretzky as a winger, me as center.  And then I'd have Bobby Orr on defense.  Alexander Ovechkin as winger, and on defense Chara for his shot."

Tricky question:
7) After sustaining a "lower body injury", your line mates are minus four without you. Why is that?

"Maybe they are not back checking hard enough or maybe it's not working out well for them."
