Hello Everyone and Welcome to our Live Flyers Chat!
Let's get things started. We can talk about Simon Gagne and his injury, tonight's game against the Caps,maybe even how the Flyers feel about the Phillies' chances in the World Series. (I asked a few of them about it yesterday).
So fire away with any questions, comments or opinions!

What's up with Gagne's injury?

12:03

Hey Maureen,
We're still waiting word on how Gagne made out yesterday with his ultrasound. He's been having some troubles skating since the start of training camp and he doesn't want this to drag on all season like Danny Briere's injury last season. paul Holmgren has said for weeks that Gagne is fine and Stevens bristled when I suggested two weeks ago that Gagne lacked his normal explosiveness. Now they're acknowledging what Gagne has said, that he's just not right on the ice.

Right now, it looks like Gagne will sit out tonight;s game and see if the Flyers can improve the strength and flexibility in his right groin and hip area. If I'm the FLyers I let Gagne take as long as he needs.

How about that Van Riemsdyk kid?

I talked with James and his dad yesterday. He';s gotten off to a great start and I think he'll keep getting better. Problem is James is a Yankees fan and told me hewished the Yanks would win in four!

12:06

Holmgren is picking the Phils in five and has threatened to withhold some of James' bonus money for picking the Yanks.

[Comment From Dan]
Aaron Asham is on a hot streak, but played less than 10 minutes against the Sharks. His goals haven't been incredible displays of skill, but they still counted, right?

12:09

Couldn;t agree with you more, Dan. Asham is not your typical goal scorer, but he has decent hands and goes to the net. But as of yesterday he was back on the third line with Giroux and Carcillo
