Ouch!

I'm guessing this means Homer will now look to move a 2nd round pick for something

Gustafsson is more suited for a 3rd pair role. It would be the same situation as with Gervais. Play him too much, and in a role he's not suited for, and he get's in trouble. He brings a nice all around game to the ice. But he's not top 4 on this team or on most teams.

Idk. He looks alot more composed out there than last year. Might be able to give him some more minutes.

I hope he decides to plug in what we have for a while first. Read will certainly be missed, though.

Hope not. Hartnell will be back in a few days to take his spot on the top line. No need to waste any picks.

I hope he doesn't either, lets use what they have & just deal with it the best they can

It's tough news, for sure. Hopefully Hartnell can come back strong and McGinn can keep going like he had been.

At least it's a position of relative strength.

Guess he's not playing tonight. When it comes to injuries with this team, it's usually the worst news possible. Unreal.

Never a simple sprain, pretty much always a tear, dislocation, or clean break. The life as a Flyers fan.

At this point all i can really do is chuckle, this really shouldn't surprise me.

Sickening. It gets old. A (frank)ing concussion would have been a better result. The chances another key player wouldn't go down to a severe injury before Hartnell and Meszaros returned were 0.0%

This is better than a concussion. There's a timetable, and it will heal fully in time. Concussions will build up and could last an extended period of time. They should get him back around the trade deadline.

I guess. Simmonds returned in about 7-10 days from his concussion. We know what the other end of the spectrum is.

This sucks, Read was playing great.

It won't happen too often during a game, but sometimes double shifting Coots to get on a line with G and Voracek seemed to be pretty effective. Read's loss, put a little more importance to get Talbot going and to a lesser extent Rusty.

Hartnell coming back will help. McGinn should stay in the lineup now.

At least the team will get to evaluate what they really have with McGinn. Of course, in a perfect world that would happen without a long-term injury; but thus is how the cards were dealt.

Suited-connectors is always ideal, but we are stuck with deuce-seven off, pre-flop. Time to roll.
