A lot of Flyer fans and even the beat reporters were speculating on what’s been wrong with Mark Streit this season. This past week, reporters said there was clearly something hampering Streit, and this morning, the Flyers confirmed it.
Ow. Really ow. Owwwww. I mean, this is probably one of those instances where the Flyers could have just said “lower-body injury” and nobody would have gotten upset. Thanks for that one, Tim.
Are you interested in seeing what a pubic plate detachment looks like? I thought you’d say that.
The Flyers have called up Shayne Gostisbehere and winger Taylor Leier, because they also had to put R.J. Umberger on injured reserve. Pierre-Edouard Bellemare has been activated from IR.
