Default Coburn doubtful for Game 3

Great news...

Monday, May 12

2:17 p.m.
Flyers General Manager Paul Holmgren updated the condition of defenseman Braydon Coburn on Monday from the Virtua Center Flyers Skate Zone. Coburn left Sunday’s Game 2 in Pittsburgh with a facial injury less than two minutes into the contest, and did not return. He was hit with a deflected puck.

“We’re still waiting to hear word on how his eye actually is. Right now, it’s swollen shut, there are no fractures and he’s doing better,” said Holmgren. “We have no reason to think that there’s anything wrong with the eye itself.

“Last night our doctors who were at the game thought he was fine, but we just wanted him to get checked out by an actual ophthalmologist. Assuming there are no issues there, we’ll just wait for the swelling to go down.

“I would say for the game tomorrow, he’s probably doubtful.”

Holmgren explained that Coburn did not feel well on the flight back to Philadelphia late last night, but that there is no reason to believe the defenseman suffered anything further.

“He had no loss of consciousness. At the time he was cognizant and aware when [Flyers trainer Jim McCrossin] got to him. He did have some issues on the plane last night but I think everybody thinks it was due to loss of blood. He lost a lot of blood from that injury.”

“Everything checks out, we’re just waiting to hear from the ophthalmologist on the actual eye itself, whether there’s any issues there. We don’t suspect there is, we just want to get it checked out.”

considering the topic of this thread and its efforts to provoke thoughts of sympathy (before the Flyers inevitably fall victim to evermore biased refereeing), it is ironic that the penguin in your 'crush' image has an x'd eye!
