Ah f***. Just don't rush him back. Let him recover and hope Gostisbehere finds his game

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

The depth is getting tested. Hopefully he will be back for the playoffs

 

[Curufinwe]

Hagg-Ghost is back.

 

[TCTC]

Sucks for Myers, but he should be back for the playoffs. I expect Friedman getting called back up?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

This is the Flyers we’ve always known.

Nolan Patrick will he playing Defense when he gets back like Kapanen.

 

[Domino666]

Welp that sucks, but hopefully Ghost got his groove back and Friedman is pretty good as a 7th, I guess this is where we find out what this team is made if over the next few weeks

 

[Din Djarin]

Almost all of us wanted Shayne Gostisbehere to come back to the main club, just wish it was under more pleasant circumstances but such is life. Let Myers heal completely, next man up!

A fractured Patella will take only 4 weeks to recover? I am having visions of Tim Kerr being day to day in 87 cup run.

 

[Jtown]

f*** me. How did this happen?

The chronology of events...

Better now than a month from now,,,

Kick ass Ghost !!!!!!

The Flyers medical staff... the gift that keeps on taking.

 

[FlyTimmo]

That's a shame. Sanheim and Myers were looking really comfortable back there. Tough luck.

The Flyers medical staff... the gift that keeps on taking.

There was no reason to think a fracture initially, he was walking on it and practiced on Tuesday.
What probably happened is it didn't show up on the initial x-ray, he complained of pain after the morning skate, then a second look found a small fracture - had it been major he couldn't have practiced on it.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

f*** me. How did this happen?

As mentioned in the first post, he blocked a shot in the Sabres' game.

This is the Flyers we’ve always known.

a friend and I were joking over beers last night that things are going far too well for the Flyers and someone's due to get hurt...

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

The depth is getting tested. Hopefully he will be back for the playoffs

Make that five: JVR, Patrick, Lindblom, Morin, Myers.

AV didn’t even know he was hurt Saturday night or so he claims.

With this medical staff’s history I would not put it passed them to think that he was fine because he was walking around and there wasn’t an initial X-Ray even.

Guess this means no more PP time for Sanny.

Hopefully Hagg isn’t the one taking Myers’ top 4 minutes. Would be nice if Friedman got some Hagg-less minutes to evaluate on his ELC but that’s a pipe dream.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

f*** me. How did this happen?

Looking at the play-by-play sheet, the injury could have happened just as Buffalo's early third period power play expired. Myers was credited with one blocked shot (Jack Eichel) in the game and it was recorded then.

 

[Rebels57]

Provorov - Niskanen
Sanheim - Braun
Hagg - Ghost

for the next 2 games to get Ghost up to speed and then try..

Provorov - Niskanen
Sanheim - Ghost
Hagg - Braun

 

[deadhead]

Sanheim - Ghost is not a good idea, I'd just attack the net with those two on the ice.

 

[orangey]

That sucks but he should be back by the PO. Still it's a bummer with the way that pair was playing. Oh well. Were overdue I guess. Cause Flyers.
