The Flyers have Danny Briere officially listed as day to day with the right shoulder sprain suffered when he crashed into the boards in the 2nd period Sunday against the Rangers....
But after seeing Briere myself after Tuesday nights game and talking to a couple of people close to the situation, I feel confident to say Briere will definitely NOT dress tomorrow night against the Lightning. He was favoring his arm even walking to his car...
Despite the quotes by Briere today, I doubt he even comes back Saturday against the Islanders... At least by then the Flyers could have Hatcher and Lupul back in the line up.
Richards' target is somewhere around March 18th when the Flyers begin a 3 game homestand against Atlanta. As most of you probably know he has begun to skate but I have been told by people in the organization that the earliest would be the BOS/PIT series but the 18th is the date to plan on for now...
