Flyers forward Zac Rinaldo out indefinitely with left high ankle sprain

POSTED: Thursday, April 4, 2013, 5:55 PM

Should the Flyers bring back Ilya Bryzgalov next season?

TORONTO -- The Flyers' long injury list got a bit longer on Thursday, with the addition of forward Zac Rinaldo.

General manager Paul Holmgren announced Thursday that Rinaldo will be out indefinitely with a left high ankle sprain. Rinaldo left Wednesday night's win over Montreal with the injury.

Danny Briere (concussion), Andrej Meszaros (shoulder), Braydon Coburn (shoulder) are all also out indefinitely. Holmgren declared officially that Max Talbot's season is over thanks to a broken left leg.

Forward Jay Rosehill, acquired in a minor trade on Monday from Anaheim, will make his Flyers debut Thursday night at Air Canada Centre. Rosehill has played all 72 of his career NHL games for the Maple Leafs.

Rinaldo did not make the trip to Toronto.

Actually he had 2 assist, but that's not the point. Zac provided the spark needed to get the team going. Hits notwithstanding, he was more of a contribution to the team than some of the top shelf players.

Are you really that dense? Rinaldo brings energy that is sorely needed on this team of zombies.

....like I said. How are we going to replace that kind of production??!!?? Where are we going to find another goon who can't score?! They're the heart and soul of this organization for the last 37 years!

I did not know that carpenters were that stupid.

Kind of like hating Timonen because he doesn't score 20 goals a year or Giroux for not being in any fights. You either don't understand hockey or you're just looking for attention.

Justatroll using another alias. "Stephen" formerly Big Tom and six other demented aliases, or soulchild? Take your pick of the insane whose barren lives send them from their Penqueen igloo basements to our site.

A perfect definition of a loser, is a troll.

Rinaldo became a Clarke like agitator, drawing more penalties, and avoiding the conflict. Think Carcillo, with one big difference...A BRAIN.

You're right. I always hated clowns, and especially their garish clown shoes.

The Flyers have overcome adversity since Pronger went down. Rosehill will be an adequate filler.
