"Double Stanley Cup champion Gustav Forsling had a rough patch in the last NHL game before the Olympics. It just happened that way. You're only human and sometimes things get heated," says the defenseman.

It was in Florida's heated derby against Tampa Bay that the brawl occurred. A total of 13 players were ejected.

On TV, it looked as if Forsling was trying to avoid a fight with Tampa's JJ Moser until the very end.

I was quite provoked. I tried to stay calm, but you can't take that much crap.

At the Olympics, the rules on fighting are stricter, and Forsling has no plans for new fights.

Of course you follow the rules. Fighting is not something I usually do.

About Sweden's Olympic chances, he says:

Great. I think we have a great team and can compete with the best.
