Add Danny Briere to the Concussion List

Don't play hockey in PA...it does things to you.

NHLFlyers Philadelphia Flyers
#Flyers GM Paul Holmgren announced that Danny Briere is out indefinitely with a concussion

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

WTF?!?!?!

 

[Darkstone42]

I blame ghosts.

He took a crosscheck in the back near the New Jersey net, and may have hit his head on a Devils player as he was falling to the ice, during the third period. He was down on his hands and knees for a while, and looked to be in a state of discomfort.

With Jagr and Rinaldo also being lost to injury, the lineup against Boston tomorrow is going to be paper thin.

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

And here I thought Brodeur was the one who would be concussed after that "elbow" he took from Briere.

Or maybe Briere "hit" him so hard that he himself got concussed.



(You see, I am implying that Marty took a dive)

No idea what the lines will even look like:

Hartnell - G - Voracek
Read - Cooter - Simmonds
Wellwood/Sestito - Schenn - Harry Z
Shelley - Talbot - Wellwood/Sestito

^ That was tough to fill in.


And that ladies, is why you don't trade youth for a rental even if you have an abundance of guys. This can be bad.

Sestito and Shelly. Wow.

Another concussion: Briere out indefinitely

Recently concussed people shouldn't be answering questions from the media. Silly media.

 

[pixburgher66]

So, the Pens concussed team:
Sid, Asham, TK, Letang, Michalek, Bortuzzo (I think that's it)

Flyers:
Pronger, Read, Schenn, Giroux, Briere, JvR

12 in the state. Freaking insane really...

I actually fell asleep in the 2nd lol. Long week. So I have no idea what the 10 minutes were for. Didn't he get 10 last time we played?

The play I am referring to is in the first Danny was setting a screen in front. Marty was creeping out of the crease a tad and when Briere turned contact was made. By contact I mean a minor brushing. AFTER the fact, Brodeur decided to milk it and fall backwards. It worked.

I am more pissed at refs who fall for this crap. Even if it's on my own team, they need to man up and start calling dives more often.

Kudos to Marty for being the "wily old veteran" and getting something out of it

 

[Vadered]

The Briere goaltending interference was a total ghost of a call.

Clarkson got 10 because he was yapping after the refs had warned him multiple times to not do that.*

*Hypothesized by the Philly broadcast team.

Diving has to stop and is getting out of hand on a lot of teams.10 minutes seems kind of harsh for yapping if anything call a 2 minute unsportsman like conduct.MSG and Time Warner better get their shit together soon I'm getting well past fed up with not being able to watch games.

 

[rares]

"I'm not too good right now. I don't even know what happened." - Text from Briere to CSN PA, as per HNIC

Yeah, that can't be good...
