Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren met with the media in the first intermission of the game against Florida at the Wachovia Center on Tuesday night to update the condition of Riley Cote. Cote will miss the rest of the season with a finger injury. Holmgren: “It was his right ring finger. He got caught in a fight in Long Island a little over a week ago. They put it back in place right away and the other night against Toronto, he just kind of got hooked on his hand and it happened again, which was our biggest fear. He went to suit up again today with the idea that if it was one of those things that was going to continue to happen very easily, he would do the surgery to repair it. We knew that he would probably need surgery and it’s just one of those decisions that we made.” Q: How long does it take to recover from something like that? PH: “It’s a 10-12 week recovery.” Source: flyers.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NHLPage&id=18891
This sucks. I was looking forward to seeing riley go at it against the Rangers in their upcomng home & home series. I guess I'm now rooting for Carcillo to lead the league in fights. He's currently 3 behind Stortini for the lead... 25 - Stortini 23 - Boll 23 - Parros 22 - Carcillo 22 - Cote 21 - Godard
