Because of all the injuries on Saturday December 10 the Flyers will be hosting auditions for potential players at the Wachovia Center. Open to all residents of Philadelphia.
Ok, that was a joke.

Eric Desjardins – Right should posterior subluxation of his humoral head. He tore both the posteral labrum and the inferior border of the Glenohumeral ligament. In layman’s terms it means that Eric has a sprain of his right shoulder and will require surgery to repair the instability that was caused by the injury
He will be out 8 to 10 weeks. That puts him out until February. He is on Team Canada’s long list for the Olympics. I suspect this will hurt his chances on being selected. If so he might not see any action until March.

Joni Pitkannen – Athletic pubalgia otherwise known as a sports hernia. Joni is going to have surgery and is going to have to have a muscle called a rectus abdominus pulled off of his pubic bone and is going to have surgery to repair that. An abductor release will also be done.
He will be out 4 to 6 weeks. Return sometime in January.

Peter Forsberg – Right groin strain and is listed day to day. In reality it is a groin tear, worse than what Forsberg initially thought.
It has been thirteen days since the injury.

Robert Esche – Slight tear, abductor tendon.
He will be out at least until December 13.

Ryan Ready – Abductor strain and is listed day to day.
Nine days now since the injury. He missed the beginning of the season with a groin injury.

Turner Stevenson – Right hip flexor and is listed day to day.
Twelve days since the injury, the same hip he had surgery on in October.

Dennis Seidenberg – Broken right wrist.
He is listed out two to three weeks; three weeks would be this coming up weekend.

Brian Savage – Sprained MCL, right knee.
He is listed out one to two weeks, which would have been last week.

Keith Primeau – Concussion out indefinitely.
He has been out 39 days now. Even though he is ‘strengthening his muscles behind his eyes’ and says he is making progress, I just don’t buy it until he starts skating.

Jeff Carter and Chris Therien were x-rayed after the game against Calgary. Carter for his collarbone and Therien his hand, both were negative.
