Injuries mount for Flyers

[Darkstone42]

The Devils look pretty heartless right now, so I don't think injuries are going to hold the Flyers back too much.

 

[Urkie]

Those are 2 pretty big blows for the Flyers.

Hopefully they aren't effected too much by them. I've been pulling for them in that series.

 

[GagneFire12]

Both had right foot surgery today and are out at least three weeks. Egads.

Yep, just heard that on "NHL Power Play" on the Network...You gotta think that if they do get past the Devils, the Caps should take them out...

 

[flyersfan4706]

I am content for now. Let Ville play. Day-to-day and Carts had 2 Goals last night. We won by 3. I dont think Gags has lit a lamp this postseason so nothing too scary

gagne is out for three weeks. carter is out for the rest of the season.

Time for Hartnell to do something positive - besides fall down (that provides some comic relief every now and again).

LOL

I went to a Flyers game earlier this year and you would not believe how many times he fell. It was comical really and more noticeable when you can see the whole ice surface....lol

Not too worried about it from a goal scoring perspective. At least for this series. I still think the Flyers win in six. But....

How do the lines configure now? Easy enough to say stick Ville in for Gags. But who moves to the second line? Maybe it's better to put Ville on the second line with Briere and Hartnell and slot Powe up with Richards and Carbomb. I don't really want to beak up the JVR-Giroux-Asham line if it can be helped.

 

[GagneFire12]

Yeah, it is incredible. He used to be a solid forechecker, but now he falls down every time there is a battle behind the net.

Yeah, I think Ville gets put on Briere's line (as he showed some good chemistry with #48 earlier this year).

Hartnell - Briere - Leino
Kung Powe - Richards - Carbomb
JVR - Giroux - Ashcan
Lappy - Betts - Laliberte/Cote/Nodl

I really hope it's not Cote.

Those combos look good. I'm with you on Cote. Pairing Nodl with Lappy and Betts at least gives a full line. Putting Cote in just wastes a slot.

 

[GagneFire12]

Nodl has shown that he is defensively aware, with very little scoring touch, at the NHL level. I would prefer him to Laliberte, but either one is a better option than Cote.

 

[TOX1]

No Carter or Gagne for game 5? Yikes...

Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren issued the following statement on Wednesday morning regarding forwards Jeff Carter and Simon Gagne:

“Jeff Carter and Simon Gagne both suffered injuries to their right foot in Tuesday night’s game. Neither will be available to play Thursday, and both players are listed as day-to-day.”

Hey....Mr Badnews......just because your team hit the showers early doesn't mean you have to drive your goddamn knee into our balls!!!!!




Fucking sucks! We'll still win this series though.

Yeah, I think you guys will win the series but I don't know if they can do much more then that.

Hopefully I'm wrong though...

 

[GagneFire12]

If their defense continues its stellar play, I guess anything could happen. But they aren't going anywhere if Hartnell and/or JVR don't step it up a notch.

hahaha yeah......Cote would be a real solid move. pffft lol

IMO It has to be Laliberte that gets the call.

Definitely. They'll need those 2 to step up.

On an unrelated note. Pat's King of Steaks is better the Genos.

Tox might disagree. I don't know....

TOX!

I think he will be the one, Tox. He scored a couple of goals earlier this season when he was called up. Supposedly Lava had a one-on-one meeting with Laliberte this morning, so that probably means he's getting the call.
