Perhaps these two teams should have a check-free game as to not lose anyone else for at least one game!

What is going on? This seems like a lot more injuries than usual. Short camps?

Dude this isn’t even close. You can’t argue that Briere, Hartnell, and Pronger aren’t 3 of their top 4 players. Florida may be missing their 3 best players, but only Versteeg would even be in the Flyers top 5. If you were to rate these teams overall, the Flyers would normally be an 88-90 team but right now they’re about a 75-77 overall. Were hurtin right now. At any rate, this must be the most extensive injury report of any game thus far, and probably will be the longest of the season. This opponent is just what the Flyers need to keep pace.

The difference is that the Panthers are missing their three best players and have less talent. But both are heavily injured. The Flyers still have Giroux though.
