Braydon Coburn out for Game Three

The Flyers playoff hopes continue to dim today. After losing to the Penguins yesterday to fall into a 2-0 hole in the series, the Flyers learned today that they will play Game 3 without defenseman Braydon Coburn. Coburn took a puck to the face in the first period of Game 2 and had to leave the game. He got 50 stitches on his face around his left eye and lost a lot of blood, making him feel lightheaded. The Flyers have already ruled him out for Game 3, although there is a chance he could return for Game 4 on Thursday. Ryan Parent will suit up in Coburn's place.

I just heard that he might be back in the lineup. 50 stitches is a lot but it means nothing in the playoffs and with their D already depleted he needs to get back on the blue line.

Usually Philly fans complain about anything and everything, but losing Timmo and Coburn is a legitimate issue. Down your top2 puck movers on the back end will cripple just about any club. RIP Flyers of '08

Technically he is "doubtful" which means by some miracle of the swelling subsiding he could play tonight though it is highly unlikely. That being said, this series is as good as over...lets put Cote into the lineup and beat the living crap out of them! especially La-Cock...what an A-hole he is, I'd love to see him on the ice bleeding profusely.
