[bennysflyers16]

And yet, for all of that, Risto is at worst the 4th worst player on this team.

He would be the type of jackass that gets hurt before the deadline. Everything he does is designed to cause maximum pain on his team.

#shocked..

"not really"....

 

[DAVIDE1333]

I was just starting to get my hopes up. Now no one will get traded.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Funny how it went as a diagnosed minor upper body injury with the possibility of returning on Saturday to now out at least a month. I see nothing has changed with the medical staff

It would be a lot more positive if you could focus on their adaptability

He's like a dog scooting his butt on the carpet while he smirks

So the Flyers are still calling it a minor upper body injury....I don't know how'd you classify a minor injury as being out for at least a month. Someone is lying

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I don’t think Risto is traded anyway. Flyer fans know he sucks. I wouldn’t even take the bum at half price. I don’t think Briere finds a sucker that takes him

There are lies, damn lies, and then there are statistics.

It's 4 weeks till the deadline. There's still a chance we can offload him.

They can “offload” him, but it’s not worth anyone going to prison for.

One of my favourite quotes in Journalism school and even more now that I often work with statistics. Also:
Question: What is 2+2?
Teacher: 4, of course
Scientist: Somewhere between 3.998 and 4.002 with 95% confidence
Politician: What do you want it to be?

This is gonna impact his Norris trophy chances... Tough break.

Hope this is just keeping him out until the trade is worked out and announced. The new Beef influence is real !

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

The author and the source of the OP stated "multiple sources" but neglected to specify the genesis of the injury or the nature which, unless I missed it, seems peculiar in that sources would hint to at least one of those two situations. That said, if his sources are accurate, the writer extended the injury as being more than a month. He also mentioned possible destinations...

Ristolainen injury could affect deadline — The Fourth Period

With Rasmus Ristolainen injured, TFP’s Anthony Di Marco reports Philly’s plan ahead of the trade deadline could shift.

www.thefourthperiod.com

MONTREAL, QC — It was just two days ago that Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Rasmus Ristolainen cracked the TFP Trade Watch List at #27. Now, 48 hours later, any thought of him potentially being on the move ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline has been squashed.​

​

As I reported earlier today, several sources have told TFP that Ristolainen is expected to be out a minimum of one month, though it wouldn’t shock me if it is longer than that.​

Improve or make worse?

Same thing for Tippett. Minor injury, next day on IR.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Or the latest report is a bs one to get time for other guys and showcase some before the trade deadline knowing now what the return for Risto would have been and they don't like it.

The Flyers have been playing checkers for 20 years and some fans still think they are capable of playing 3d chess.

Checkers? You give them to much credit. 52 pick up is more like it

 

[LegionOfGloom]

Maybe Columbus will hire Chuck Fletcher and we can trade him Risto for Fantilli.
