Injury Report: Cam Atkinson, neck surgery, December 2022

[Schwarbomb]

Another victim of the Flyers butcher shop.

Another player's season ended mysteriously. He was cleared a few weeks ago, and now how's done for the season? Something doesn't add up.

Refusing to disclose his injury also stinks of a cover up of some sort going on.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

So.... the Flyers are paying a lot of dudes who can't play and some who will never play. Also one who enjoys martinis.

Coots, $7.75M
Atkinson, $5.875M
Ellis, $6.25M

Then there's Allison, Brink, and Laczynski (total of about $2.5M)

Of course who could forget having a $666k cap hit next year for Lindblom.

And the eternal regret of paying Bryzgalov $1.4M per year until 2027.

Oh, and $15M for a coach they fired after he coached a mere 147 games - less than two season's worth.

Is this what rock bottom feels like?

The whole thing was weird the moment he ran off to Columbus to seek outside input.

There will be a time we hear more about Patrick’s time with the Flyers, and I’ll be very intrigued.

 

[Bigkarl]

No worries. Just another one of Chuck’s prized acquisitions that will be 1 (or less) and done.

Sounds like nerve damage.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Nah

I’d also have a sore neck constantly looking up at the rest of the league.

There may not be a thing that I "enjoy" more than journalists coming out after something happens saying how they knew the whole time.

Although, I guess he is saying that he was saying it on BSH which I don't listen to but point stands.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Fine, I guess I'll finally drop him in fantasy.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

No, you keep him on that bench and teach him a lesson about being tough. Letting him be a FA is what he wants.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

its f***ing zombie Ellis... im telling you guys..

Zombies are real...

 

[snoop88]

I keep forgetting Sean Couturier exists.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Also also.

We can assume this probably happened in off season training no?

 

[Beef Invictus]

I keep forgetting Sean Couturier exists.

I have Couturier in fantasy. I also had Voracek and Atkinson. I've been thriving.

 

[deadhead]

Also also.

Player rehabs, get injured, it's the fault of pushing him.
Player doesn't rehab, gets injured, it's b/c he's out of shape b/c they didn't push him in rehab.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

He should definitely retire immediately.

 

[ajgoal]

He should definitely retire immediately.

He should wait until Chuck is gone so he has neither a roster slot nor cap space to fill with another questionable acquisition.

EDIT: Unless you meant Charlie.

Per Philadelphia Inquirer article: Tortorella is confident Atkinson will return this season. He said Atkinson doesn’t feel comfortable getting back on the ice yet, but as soon as he does, Tortorella knows he’ll be back.

I thought this was a new thread at first when I read these tweets then realized they were from October. Oh well. At least this didn’t turn into another Ellis situa-wait what the hell???

Sedlak fumbled the bag for not just saying he was hurt before he left

I haven’t listened to an episode in a while. But he was saying something like that around the beginning of the year on episodes I did listen to.

I've never seen one organization have so many "mystery" injuries. There is no bottom to this chasm, except for Chuck Fletcher.

I'd laugh my tits off if Scam was actually fine physically and just didn't want to play for these c***s.

I say this for years. And for years curu is coming at me and saying all teams have injuries. @Curufinwe can we finally agree that the flyers have the most injuries and the most bizarre injuries in the whole league?
