If the Flyers are smart, they’d sit Gagne for the rest of the regular season and see if he’s any better come playoff time. Guy has sat for 30+ games this season so what’s the big deal?

Otherwise, Gagne could be looking at the end of his career with three concussions in 4 months. It’s time to take extra precautions. He’s a bright guy. I hope he stays that way.

As far as Forsberg … the Flyers know that in order to sell playoff tickets — as inflated as the prices are — they need Forsberg. The current team can’t put consistent wins together and when you’re not consistent, you need star power. Flyers have no stars on their team. Maybe Richards is a young star.

And don’t try to sell Lil’ Danny as a star. He’s a quasar. While there was initially some controversy over the nature of these objects, there is now a scientific consensus that a quasar is a compact halo of matter surrounding the central supermassive black hole of a young galaxy.

In Philly, that supermassive black hole is Briere’s contract and that young galaxy is the team.
