Innis_Mor Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Gagné Brière Hartnell Lupul Richards Knuble Upshall Carter Giroux Asham Metropolit Cote/Downie Coburn Timonen Berard Eminger Jones Vaananen/Kukonen/Parent Biron Nittymaki the Flyers definitely have something to challenge for the first place in the East. They will be competitive, I think. Just my opinion, but in the end I don't think their defense and goaltending will carry them far enough. Habs showed they currently out-skate this team (last play-offs, Flyers without Gagne, at the time). The East will close gap a little this season, vs. the West, in part, due to teams such as Philly being a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innis_Mor Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Flyers defensive play must be continuing poor. Bet they can't wait for Hatcher to get back -- he's so good!! Team's given up 5 goals to San Jose tonight. Oh, and there is still a period to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebee_mtl Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Flyers defensive play must be continuing poor. Bet they can't wait for Hatcher to get back -- he's so good!! Team's given up 5 goals to San Jose tonight. Oh, and there is still a period to play. And still lost, in a shootout at 7-6. Dunno what was wrong with the Sharks there, blowing a 6-4 lead (and Nabby's SV% is awful on that one, wow)... but nevermind. Niittymaki was pulled after allowing 4 goals on 15, Biron allowed 2 on 20 and both shootout attempts. One problem, goalies are out of position. Another is no one is cleaning up on rebounds and the puck trickles away. Plus there's no real defense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now why couldn't he play like that in the play-offs last season against the Habs? Love the sports highlights last night ... they finish off the package with a long shot of Coach Stevens looking rather worried (for his job, I guess), behind the bench. No words / commentary -- just the long video shot. (I guess these sports highlight package guys gotta have some fun! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_rudeboy Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Groin strain to sideline Briere 4-5 weeks http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=395924 Looks like Briere came back too soon from his previous injury. He has played only 9 of 24 games this season and is set to miss another 12-15 games with this current set back. If he keeps going at this rate he will be lucky if he plays 40 games this season.

Johnny_rudeboy Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Flyers' Briere to miss 2 more weeks after surgery Flyers center Danny Briere will miss another two weeks because of lingering discomfort in his groin and stomach area. Briere has played only nine games this season and just finished a three-game minor league conditioning stint with Philadelphia's AHL affiliate. He will have exploratory surgery Thursday. Briere had surgery Oct. 25 on a torn abdominal muscle and left a Dec. 2 game against Tampa Bay with a groin injury. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=405615 Looks like Briere is facing more complications.

Johnny_rudeboy Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Looks like Briere is out for "at least" 4 weeks now instead of 2. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=405825 Anyone want to place a wager that it will be longer?

If its the former it doesn't make any sense. Also school isn't over yet, how can he play professional hockey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
