I think it will be Colorado or Philly and I don't think he would mess with the chemistry at all. He wants to win and would be a great setup guy for all the finishers that the Flyers have.

I can see him playing center on the 2nd or thrid line (a few days ago I would have said first line between Gagne and Briere but Knuble has suddenly seemed to catch fire). And just think of that second PP line with him, Richards, Carter or Umberger or Lupul or Downie. Hell Richards might even be able to take a rest during the PP.

It is a pretty sick lineup when Lupul comes back and if Foppa is back Healthy

They might average more than 2pp goals a game for the year !

If anyone is interested @ 1pm..right now... Hexy will be on 950am

Great interview... thanks

No Problem..good stuff

I tried to get tickets for tonight but couldn't go :(

Trade Rumor from CNNSI :

Colorado sends John-Michael Liles to Philadelphia for Scottie Upshall and Denis Bodrov

The Flyers need a blueliner who can move his feet as well as he moves the puck. To get him, they give up on a banging winger who's struggled with injuries this season (he's currently out with an ankle sprain) and a mid-sized Russian defender with good wheels and an inclination to take care of business in his own end first and foremost.

Simon Gagne of the Philadelphia Flyers is indefinitely sidelined after sustaining his third concussion of the season on Sunday.


CBC Sports

The Flyers' Simon Gagne has missed more games this season than he's played because of repeated concussions.

The one-time all-star has already missed 30 games this year due to concussions.

But Gagne, who has 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in 25 games, expects to play again before the end of the season.

"I don't think the season is lost right now," Gagne said. "Hopefully, I'm not going to have any more symptoms coming up. The way I feel right now is just a balance problem. When this goes away, I will be pretty much symptom free."

Gagne sat out four games after he was hit by Jay Bouwmeester on Oct. 24, and missed a further 26 contests after a collision with Gary Roberts on Nov. 7.

Gagne's latest concussion came after a high hit by Jordan Staal during his first shift in the Flyers' 4-3 defeat in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Team physician Dr. Gary Dorshimer examined Gagne on Monday and said he has a mild concussion.

The 27-year-old, who had complained of dizziness after previous concussions, said his symptoms were relatively light.

"I feel so-so. I am not feeling quite right. I am feeling a little bit off balance," Gagne told the Flyers' official website. "It could be a couple of days, it could be a week or it could be longer. There is no time frame on what is going on right now."

Gagne said his injuries were not comparable to those of former Flyers Keith Primeau and Eric Lindros, whose careers were ended by a series of concussions.

"Those guys had a hard time waking up in the morning and had a hard time responding physically," he said. "In my case, I don't think that this is a problem. I feel like I am more off-balance today but physically, I feel fine."

Eeeek

4 in a row !

Hopefully Tampa will be the cure !

No energy in the team right now, they need a shake-up

Same boat, Tampa wasn't the cure.

I flipped to the game a few times and saw the breakaway goal by Bergenheim. That was a brutal turnover by Carter letting that thing go just inside the blue line.

I don't see energy as being the problem. The problem is turnovers especially in our defensive zone and not being able to clear the puck. I mean hell just ice it to relieve some pressure. Yeah I know you can't change lines but its a better option than try to clear the puck 4 times and having the other team just control the play and pressure you over and over.

Also I was kinda disappointed that the Flyers didn't try chipping the puck into the corners more last night, rather than throwing it around the boards and allowing DP to stop it or play it out of the zone.

The defensive turnovers have been horrible, that one by Smith was terrible

The whole complexion of the game changes if Richie can bury that shorthanded breakaway

Looked like the puck rolled on him as he went to shoot it

Dude, it was loaded up top with them

They must have bought a block and bused everyone in

This team is dropping like a rock

After Ottawa's game (I hope you beat them) maybe you'll get back on track.
As for Habs attendee's, the loyal Bleu, Blanc et Rouge are making good appearances at almost all road games this year.
