Injury Report: Matt Read (torn rib cage muscles) will return to the lineup (tonight) Mar. 7

[Qyburn]

If the word 'concussion' even gets mentioned, I'd be enormously relieved if it's just the flu. Last thing we want is something that can have lingering symptoms for weeks and months.

Lisa Hillary just said Torn Ribcage. Out at least 6 weeks.

INJURY UPDATE: #Flyers GM Paul Holmgren announced Matt Read suffered torn rib cage muscles in last night's game. He will be out for 6 weeks

NHLFlyers

By those standards (well players usually come back early) that's 19 games if I counted correctly.

 

[SeanL44]

6 weeks with muscle tears in his ribs

 

[Alchemy]

Ouch. 6 weeks is rough.

 

[OriginJM]

put an extra shirt on and get out there matt you'll be fine

 

[JVR21]

Another! Great season for injuries!

 

[Beef Invictus]

Flyers hockey, 2013 version?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

What the... ?

Balls.

 

[GKJ]

Well, that's lovely

 

[UKFlyers]

Ugh. Just when the boys were beginning to put it together. Still, Hartnell will be back soon. Maybe we'll get an injury free team someday.

 

[1865]

Clearly they were worried it was rib concussion.

 

[FlyersFan61290]

wow...that really sucks. hartnell can't get back soon enough.

 

[JohnnyOnTheSpot]

Greeeeeeaaaaaattttttt.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I swear, God hates the Flyers. Way too many ****ing key injuries.

 

[Mgkibbles]

What the ****.

 

[Qyburn]

Ugh I had a bad feeling. Out for the game and no one was sure why.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

This teams injury situation has been comical for years. Ridiculous

 

[Qyburn]

Looking at the last five minutes, at 14:23 he sort of falls awkwardly into the boards. Gets back up and looks fine. Malkin hits him a few seconds later, doesn't look like anything special. 16:35 Kunitz hits him into the boards, also pretty run-of-the-mill. If there was a 'puck to the chest' (or something else), it must have happened in the first 15. Or maybe an old injury that finally caught up with him?

 

[Codith]

This team is ****ing cursed

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Dag-er.

 

[G Money]

when will it end?

 

[Schwarbomb]

This team is so injury plagued every ****ing year!!!

 

[Embiid]

Paging Mr Poulin.....Read needs your flak jacket!

This is not cool....Read is a very important player. Plays in so many situations....6 weeks is tough.

 

[RoDu]

That's a lot of offence to be made up for, McGinn isn't going to cut it, but he'll have to, can't make panic trades
