Danny Briere left practice early Friday because of what Flyers coach John Stevens called "a lower-body injury."

Since Briere missed most of last season with groin and abdominal injuries, alarms are going off in Flyerdom right now.

The Flyers recalled David Laliberte from the AHL Adirondack Phantoms.

Simon Gagne is already sidelined with a double-hernia, and Briere is doubtful for for Saturday against Carolina.

GM Paul Holmgren reported that two of Gagne's doctors have given conflicting solutions to repairing his hernias. The Flyers, Gagne and the doctors are trying to resolve those issues.

On a positive front, it looks like Blair Betts (shoulder) and Ryan Parent (groin) will return from injuries and be back in the lineup Saturday.

@tpanotch - Danny Briere left the ice early at practice. Lower body injury. You don't think this is a repeat of last year?

IDK how serious, but this is a big concern regardless

Who can we put on re-entry?

Laliberte is coming up. He actually looked okay in preseason.

Juicy Couturier* · 10-30-2009, 11:39 AM

Wow we barely have 2 scoring lines now if this is serious.

Not good enough, he doesn't have to pass through waivers. I mean, what can you do?

Hopefully it's a precaution and not too serious.

Sympathy pains for Gags?

At least we have a cap cushion to maybe find a stopgap.

RJNSmith · 10-30-2009, 11:40 AM

This is getting ridiculous now.
I hope it's more of a concern than anything else. We really, really can't take another injury.

claude boivin lives · 10-30-2009, 11:42 AM

This is ****ing great. Please, please don't be anything serious, or anything that has anything at ****ing all to do with last year's injury issues.

We can do without one top-six forward, but without two of them things could get pretty ugly.

dbr2 · 10-30-2009, 11:43 AM

WTFFFFFFFFFFFF
these ****s and their lower body injuries. Stretch but don't over do it. you ****.

Danny and Gagne seem to never play together.

I guess this is the result of Stevens new practice days. No off days

Is Maroon healthy yet? I think this is a great opportunity to give him his shot.

Agree with that. Def want to see what he can do at the NHL level.

Maybe send Carter down and bring him back up, they won't see it coming (too bad Richie has an NMC).

That might be my favorite Holmgren quote. "What can you do?" Some journalist should have grown a pair and said, "not ****ing bring him up you retard."

Ah well.

IrishSniper87 · 10-30-2009, 11:49 AM

Van Riemsdyk - Carter - Maroon
Hartnell - Richards - Pyorala
Carcillo - Giroux - Asham
Cote - Powe - Laperriere

????

Claude Giroux · 10-30-2009, 11:50 AM

Time for Giroux to start picking up some points.

Well, they brought up Laliberte, so it's not going to be Maroon at the moment. I wouldn't be against bringing up Ross to center the 4th line either, I like what he's capable of.

Looks like the black year again.

Betts is back Saturday too.

Could we do..

Powe - Betts - Lappy

CharlieGirl · 10-30-2009, 11:54 AM

But of course.

Rick Blaine · 10-30-2009, 11:55 AM

I wanna see Maroon, damnit.

But I'd rather see Briere.

Sounds like my mom. She heard about Gagne, yelled back at me from the other room, "His career is done!"

IrishSniper87 · 10-30-2009, 11:56 AM

I would like to see maybe

Van Riemsdyk - Carter - Giroux
Hartnell - Richards - Asham
Carcillo - Pyorala - Laliberte
Maroon - Powe - Laperriere
Betts in if possible
Cote

edit: Betts a no-go tonight?
