One Philadelphia Flyers' forward has pulled out of the Olympics, and another one might have to do the same. Michal Handzus has withdrawn from the ASlovakian side with a rotator cuff injury. Meanwhile, Swedish superstar Peter Forsberg had an MRI on Sunday. Official results have not been made public, but there is apparently still a problem with Forsberg's groin.
