There are the good players who are out:
Keith Primeau, team leader and captian, is out indefinitely with a concussion. Starting goalie Robert Esche is day-to-day with a slight tear of the abductor tendon. Former captain and solid defenseman Eric Desjardins dislocated his right shoulder.
Then there are the NHL stats leaders:
One-time plus-minus leader Joni Pitkanen has a torn abdominal muscle. Recent NHL assists leader Peter Forsberg is almost back from a groin strain. Now Simon Gagne, who leads the NHL with 23 goals, is now out at least two weeks with a groin tear.
What did we do to earn this?
Update - 4:21pm: Forsberg came back today and scored a goal and an assist as the Flyers beat the Minnesota Wild 3-2. I'd still like to see the other 5 guys I mentioned return to action.

Am I the only person who still cringes when, during a discussion about hockey stats, "Minnesota" is not followed by "North Stars"? And it's been how many years?
