What flyers media have failed to pick up on was that it was a partial tear. The partial tear is a saving grace. The surgery isnt a complete knee reconstruction. These idiots think hes making some miracolous recovery. Hes gonna get a good amt of games in. Its going to be good for his development.
If he plays well in his return the World Championships with Team USA could potentially be a possibility as well.

He should have been on the team last year, but they already took 4 kids from that 2013 WJ team and he was just signing his ELC.
over-reactive Flyers fans: "NOOOO! It's too soon! Get him off the ice! Shut him down for the season!!!!!!"
Yeh, it is amazing that it was reported so sparsely that it was partial... only Meltzer did I reckon. (though not really that surprised, the press around the Flyers are completely hopeless apart from a few.)
The surgery is minimally invasive... heck, if he was a normal joe he would have probably chosen/been forced not to have surgery and spend 6 weeks in rehab instead.
It is a different injury really!
