Flyers # 7 in half a season with a concussion.

Hopefully the plan isn't to play Shelley and two Phantom call ups vs. the Bruins tomorrow. That poop ain't gonna work.

i noticed gus

i noticed him being pretty good
- Don'tForgetTocchet

Both Gus and Bourdon were solid.

Sarah Baicker says Briere out with a concussion.

At least one media member was doing their actual iob

what play? when he got high sticked??

@sbaickerCSN: Briere out indefinitely with a concussion. Does not look good at all.

This can't help

Dunno.

Sarah said it happened in the first period apparently

Reese already came out and said he's getting 58 games tops

the best laid plans...if bryz gets on a roll (finally), who knows?

I won't believe you.

I'm in denial.

All part of the game. All 32 other teams have had 7 players suffer concussions this year.

Possible lines for tomorrow:

Hartnell-Giroux-Read
Talbot-Schenn-Voracek
Sestito-Coots-Harry Z
Shelley-Holmstrom-Wellwood

I feel like I'm missing someone healthy, but I don't believe so.

Just back from the game. Ton of Flyers fans in the building.

Simmonds was a complete force out there. His best game as a Flyer imo. Hartnell and Giroux with strong games as well. And Bryzgalov played very well again. Perhaps he is turning a corner.

Jagr leaving games early is starting to get old. He's obviously not fully recovered and he's leaving his team short handed constantly. I believe this is the fourth game he has left in the first period so far this year.

I bet a Devils fan twice and won two beers. Easy bets ever. One was Poni scoring a goal, and the other was the Flyers allowing a goal within a minute after taking a 2 goal lead. Like taking candy from a baby.

And finally LOL @ Shelley. Clarkson pastes him to the boards with a big hit, and Mr. Tough Guy challenges fellow tomato can Eric Boulton to a fight, and Boulton proceeds to hand Shelley his ass. Total skull (frank)ing.

PS Lavy, stop putting the 4th line on the ice after taking a two goal lead. It doesn't work.

I'm absolutely shocked that out of all the good things that happened in the game, one of the main points here is a comment on Shelley. Who played a solid game. Shelley also challenged Clarkson after the hit. I would give Boulton the edge in the fight, but it wasn't a case of Shelley having his ass handed to him. Anyway, it really doesn't matter who won the fight.

Everyone in the game, including Shelley, played well. There is a lot more positive things that went on in that game.

Dunno.

when kovalchuk got that delay of game he went down like a sack of potatos next to the devils net from a pretty harmless looking bump, but that wasn't in the first P

Isn't that the truth. Change in equipment is a must this coming summer.

what play? when he got high sticked??
- Don'tForgetTocchet

Briere took a cheap shot from behind, I think in the 2nd period. He was standing to the side of the net and got clobbered.
Play was no where near him, a Devil nailed him and he went down and was on his hands a knees for a minute or so. I was surprised no penalty was called.

What is the other choices that they have?

how will they even be able to clear enough slots to bring up that many players?

That was a dive I thought by Briere trying to draw a penalty. Just your basic shot to the ribs.

Holmgren will trade a fourth round pick and Phantom for a 4 time 20 goal scorer like Lamoriello just did. Book it.

i noticed gus

I'd be very pleased if he continues to improve. I really don't want Lilja, Walker or Bartulis skating with this team if at all possible.

Don't be shocked: on this board Shelley gets criticized for breathing.

I thought he looked hurt.
Maybe he was embellishing but he looked to be in pain.
