Over a month ago, I discussed the possibility that Simon Gagne, who has been out since February with concussion symptoms, might return to the ice if the Flyers make the Stanley Cup Finals. Well, with the Flyers a mere four wins away from the Stanley Cup Finals, it now seems there is little hope that Gagne will be suiting up any time soon.

    I'd rather he just sit out at this point, no sense in rushing him back just to get injured. Remember what happened to Lindros when he came back too soon.....

    He was told by doctors to shut it down....suck it up? Are you serious? We'll take him back next season nice and healthy. We seem to be doing just fine with no distraction.

    it has nothing to do with sports history smart guy.....he would only hurt the team.....it's not like he's working out, he's not in game shape...it would be different if it were a leg or shoulder injury or something like that, this is a HEAD injury...a pretty important part of the body....he was told to shut it down....so he did....so forget history...read the news....get your facts straight before you start telling people to learn their sports "history"

    Facts are straight...I took back my comment on the head issue... I was just trying to make a point that plenty of players have played with injuries in the head... Also..I am sure he is still in game shape and still skate's~~ Plus skating is like riding a bike you don't forget how.
  • i think when gagne comes back he wont go on the same line with briere and prospal i think he will go on carters line to balance out the team
  • does anyone know when he will return?
