O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01	PHILADELPHIA (TICKER) -- All-Star left wing Simon Gagne, who leads the first-place Philadelphia Flyers with 27 goals, will be sidelined three weeks due to a partially dislocated left shoulder. Gagne suffered the injury after falling to the ice following a scuffle with Tampa Bay defenseman Andrei Zyuzin late in the second period of Saturday's 0-0 tie. The 21-year-old originally was diagnosed with a sprained left shoulder but was re-examined Monday. Team doctor Arthur Bartolozzi diagnosed the injury as a subluxation. "Our plan is to re-evaluate him in three weeks," Bartolozzi said. He will not be playing in the next few weeks." Gagne missed Sunday night's 2-1 victory over the New York Rangers. Mark Greig replaced him in the lineup and responded with a goal and an assist in his fourth game of the season. "You don't replace Simon Gagne," general manager Bobby Clarke said. "It's an opportunity for some of these young players to show if they can play in the NHL or not." Gagne had been playing the left wing next to Keith Primeau and Mark Recchi on Philadelphia's top line. The trio has combined for 73 goals, 95 assists and a plus-48 rating this season. A first-round draft pick in 1998, Gagne has 27 goals and 27 assists in 61 games, already surpassing his goal and point total from his rookie season of 1999-2000. He also ranks among the NHL leaders with a plus-24 rating. "I'm pretty disappointed right now, but I think it's better if I stay out for three weeks," he said. "I don't want to take too much chances with my shoulder." Gagne has helped the Flyers to a 33-18-10-2 mark and first place in the Atlantic Division. With 78 points, they enter play Monday just two behind Ottawa for first overall in the Eastern Conference. ~Matt/Froy from Jersey The Hell Hole Official Protector of Gay Marco & SwampJunk...if he ever decides to post.

O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00	Bad News for Devils Fans. John LeClair will be back in the middle of March, and if they trade Lindros, that will add a couple of more solid players to their lineup. And yes Cechmanek is having a tremendous season, and hasnt done anything in the Playoffs yet, but neither did Boucher last year and he got them to within 1 game of the Finals last year. With that said, I dont believe too much in Philly. And I like the chances of New Jersey, Ottawa, and Pittsburgh to come out of the East before I like Philadelphia

O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00	I like this sports forum.... Seems like Gagne was coming into his own this year. Whomever doesn't think it will be a loss for the Phlyers is highly mistaken. He has been able to open up the ice for others like Recchi. The Czech in goal has been very impressive so far too. But whomever does make it out of the East will have to go through Colorado because that team is on fire. Plus with Pronger going down for St. Loius, it's really opened up for the Av's.

O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	Gagne is a great up and coming player in the league. I hate to see a player injured, but, F THE FLYERS! I know this is not an excuse, but, the Devils have had their share of injuries lately, and they lost some ground in the conference. However, let's see what happens come playoff time! Need I remind the Flyers fans of this: WOOF WOOF! E-Mail Me This message was edited by Ronreddog on 2-27-01 @ 11:46 AM
