    Again? When was the last time Gagne played a full season?

    A while ago. Talking about surgerys, Peter Forsberg has been selected to play for Team Sweden in a 4 nations tournament against Russia, Finland and Czech Republic this weekend. Fore the first time since 04/05 his foot seems to be 100%

    Let it begin. Gagne's hurt...Briere's groin is starting to hurt again. Why can't we stay healthy for even a quarter of a season for crying out loud?

    I swear the reason is that the ice is bad at the Wac Center. Too soft = too much lateral effort to skate and pop goes the groin.

    Could be, but when you have a problem there it seldom get 100% again

    gagne last played a full season...last year, with 34 goals. Short memory people. in fact he has only missed significant time in 2 other seasons over his entire 10 year Flyers career.

Also, Jagr asked if he turned 50 on Wednesday instead of 40. "Because I feel like I'm 50 right now." Was drinking hot tea in players' lounge - 1:52pm
 
Jagr says: "Anybody who can walk, plays." I guess that addresses his status for tomorrow. - 1:46pm
