He hasn't had a great series (Lindblom).

Weal is also a center and our bottom shit holes actually haven't been that much of a problem this series (forwards, not Brandon Manning). The PK in particular has looked decent, which is about as complimentary as you can get for our shitty PK.

Lines pre-injury:

Sean Couturier centering Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek.
Nolan Patrick centering Travis Konency and Wayne Simmonds.
Val Filppula centering Michael Raffl and Jordan Weal.
Jori Lehtera centering Scott Laughton and Matt Read.

Meaning my taek on Weal was irrelevant in the decision to play him over Lindblom, but may determine how lines are going forward.

John Boruk

Hornqvist out with an upper-body injury for Game 4

Best case scenario, bone bruise. Worst case scenario, he's dead.

What the fuck was Gudas doing? Jesus

Receiving a pass it looks like.. seems like an unfortunate accident/stupid way to have drills set up

Looking at the twitters, it seems that concurrent drills is normal w/ limited ice space and what not.. just a freak accident and of course happens to our 1C.

Incredible. Hardest hit he's taken all year was that. Hope he's not out for half of next year

Didn’t help that coots isn’t really paying attention in a tight practice area

Something like this happening is probably a 1 in a million type thing so they don't even think about it.

#Flyers won’t have an update on Sean Couturier until tomorrow

Looking at that video, there is no way Coots isn't out for the series, probably for the playoffs if we go forward. That looks like a knee injury to me.

I agree, you can clearly see in the video the part where you become a team doctor.

You really REALLY hate people giving opinions on health. Like it personally offends you.

Can't really read too much into this, could mean it's more serious, could just be mindgames. If he's cleared to play and they announce anytime before the last possible minute then it's a waste. Let the Pens not know 100% what is happening unless he's definitively out for a stretch.

Glad you've been tracking my posts. I do find it ridiculous. It's completely absurd to look at a shaky cell phone video and play doctor. Who the hell knows if he's going to play? So we wait.

Think the fall actually made him stronger. Guess we will see who is right.

Christ that was bad

Why did our training staff have him stand up and walk on that? Seems stupid.

Hextall has no update but Giroux made it sound like Coots is definitely out. Not surprising.

Hakstol also said he can't comment, game time decision. Won't discuss contingency plans (G at Center for example)
