Briere the latest injured Flyer

Danny Briere, in what must be a coordinated effort to submarine my fantasy hockey season, will miss time due to the ever-present and ever-mysterious "lower body injury." Briere joins Simon Gagne on the list of Flyers stars currently sitting and watching the games. Both are also on my fantasy team.

The good news is that Blair Betts is back and Ryan Parent is back. David Laliberte has been called up to take Briere's place on the roster.

As I write this, the Flyers are up 4-1 on the Carolina Hurricanes, thanks in part to a goal and an assist by Laliberte, who is playing in his first NHL game. If he keeps this up, Riley Cote may never find his way back into the line up.

So, some bad news for the team, but good hockey so far. Fingers crossed for the rest of this one.
