Danny Briere

Getting a concussion is just the thing to do in Philadelphia for hockey players.

After losing Chris Pronger for the season, plus leading scorer Claude Giroux for a number of games, the team lost rookies Brayden Schenn and Sean Couturier to head injuries. Recently, James van Riemsdyk was diagnosed with a concussion.

Philadelphia Flyers forward Danny Briere has been quietly having a nice season. He's registered 10 goals and 15 assists in 31 games, and he's a plus-four.

Every year, Danny Briere seems to turn it up another notch when the playoffs roll around, and he's been a key to their success in the playoffs. While Danny has been stellar with the Flyers since signing with them, I can't help but wonder if it's time to ship him on his way.

Here's what's wrong with the Philadelphia Flyers: a struggling franchise goalie,  a defense plagued by injuries and an offense heavily dependent on inexperienced players.

Friday night’s game against Anaheim was a microcosm of the Flyers’ season thus far, and if the end result is an indication of things to come, the Flyers will certainly take it.

Early in their history the Philadelphia Flyers were pretty good about keeping their best players in orange and black, then the 1991 NHL Entry Draft took place and the Flyers went after Eric Lindros.

With a recent roster shakeup, the Philadelphia Flyers have moved three of their top five point-scorers from the 2010-2011 season.

Among the group of unloaded players were captain Mike Richards and leading goal-scorer Jeff Carter.

The Philadelphia Flyers and Buffalo Sabres will play Game Five in Philadelphia tonight.

The series has almost been more entertaining off the ice than on the ice so far. That could change tonight though.

Tempers have been flaring following Game Four and the controversial major penalty to Flyers' captain Mike Richards for elbowing.

Here are the reasons that tonight's game could get very interesting.

The physicality of this series between the Buffalo Sabres and Philadelphia Flyers has been the definition of playoff hockey.

The Philadelphia Flyers are one of the most storied franchises in the NHL and their history is rich with talented players.

Some of these talented players were grouped together by the powers that be and helped form some of the most famous lines in the history of the NHL.

While offensive prowess was abundant, these lines featured grit and composure and the mixture of both is what makes Flyers hockey unique.

The following list is of the five most famous lines in Flyers history. Enjoy!

Although the Philadelphia Flyers sit atop the NHL's Eastern Conference, they are in the midst of a four-game losing streak. The Flyers have been outscored 12-1 in their last five periods of play.

The Flyers will need to right the ship quickly as the Boston Bruins are breathing down their necks as they are just two points away from tying for the first seed in the east.

The slumping Flyers can point to five key reasons for their current funk. 

How would the Flyers respond this season after such a devastating loss last season.

The Flyers have responded from their Stanley Cup loss last season to the Chicago Blackhawks in impressive fashion by posting a Eastern Conference leading 39-15-5 record, good for 83 points. 

They have opened up an eight-point lead in the Eastern Conference and do not show any signs of slowing down any time soon.

They are even deeper on offense and defense than the team that made it to the Stanley Cup Finals last season.
