Owen Tippett released his own letter<\/a> to fans talking about his injuries, and there were rumors of Cam York\u2019s fractured rib. But that only makes up for four of the 10 players that were dealing with something this postseason.<\/p>\nEmil Andrae apparently fractured his wrist and it now requires surgery in the offseason. The young blueliner didn\u2019t play in Game 4 as he made way for the even younger Oliver Bonk, but that was more due to performance and wanting to get a different look, than a player having literally a fractured wrist.<\/p>\n
Alex Bump did not look like he had an MCL sprain as he appeared to be one of the more impactful forwards throughout the playoffs. And even with Christian Dvorak, we all knew he was banged up since he regularly missed practices and morning skates, but to be dealing with a fractured rib and a separated shoulder while in the playoffs is nuts. Something that surely got a lot of pats on the back from his teammates and coaches, but that must have been an agonizing experience for the veteran center.<\/p>\n
Garnet Hathaway dealing with a fractured fibula \u2014 literally having a broken bone in your shin \u2014 while playing hockey feels dangerous and stupid but just something that those fans that want to pound your chest and call a player a warrior. (This writer is sometimes one of those fans.)<\/p>\n
Travis Konecny looked like he was dealing with something and while he said it was really nothing during his exit interview, it certainly seems like something. Some fans were concerned that he was just putting in a mediocre postseason performance, but now seeing that he was dealing with a fractured rib and a busted-up nose bone, we can excuse some of those games. <\/p>\n
And even something that doesn\u2019t feel massive like a broken bone, like Trevor Zegras\u2019s elbow ligament sprain, must have been abysmal to go through the playoffs with. Something nagging at you that certainly affected his ability to get shots off or generate any kind of offense at all \u2014 it\u2019s just not great.<\/p>\n
Hopefully all of these Flyers can fully recover by training camp and we can start talking about another playoffs and another laundry list of injuries that might come out of it.<\/p>\n
Honestly, we\u2019re just thankful to not see Sean Couturier\u2019s and Rasmus Ristolainen\u2019s name on the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Flyers are finally able to participate in the time-honored tradition of a playoff team unveiling an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":644767,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-644766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=644766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644766\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/644767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=644766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=644766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=644766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
